Yellow boots Dusty

[abouttreefitty]

From what I gather here, it is accepted that the molding or plastic on the yellow boots Dusty is different than the regular Dusty. Could it be possible that when the Dusty was re-released with the Summerslam card, a different molding or plastic was used? Could the yellow boots Dusty be a Summerslam Dusty? This could possibly explain why one has never been seen MOC. A sealed figure wouldn't get oxidation, right...

Or am I out of my element?

i'm not sure, i like your theory though. my parents bought me my hasbro Dusty as a child. regular version.

i honestly lmfao at the john goodman pic!

Only way to find out is to spend a few hundred on both figs, open them and check in a few years time. However I can't see that happening. +1 for your theory

Yeah, I'm not expecting anyone to blow hundreds of dollars opening a Summerslam Dusty to test my theory. But maybe there's someone out there who has a reseal or a loose one that they know was from a Summerslam card.

I saved all of the cards when I opened my old Hasbros, and the Dusty I had as a kid was on a Summerslam card. I can vouch for that 100%. It does not have yellow boots now. I also have another Dusty that I received in a large lot of Hasbros and the very bottoms boots are slightly yellowing in an uneven manner. Unfortunately, I have no way of knowing what card that one came on.

I had those cards out to scan them for Tibbo's poster, so they should be around here somewhere. If you'd like, I can try to take a picture of "white boots" Dusty and his (painful to look at now) mangled Summerslam card.
