Hey guys. I recently came across an Elizabeth figure, and it was really soft rubber like other LJNs. Every other figure I have seen had been very solid, hard rubber. Kinda like the sarge mailaway or the WCW osft figures. Were these possibly separate batches? Is one rarer than the other?

she indeed has 2 different bodies. I dont know if it depends on which skirt she came with or if they are just different rubbers used.

^ hey guys.. it doesnt depend on what skirt.. it was actually that the very first releases were the very soft rubber and it would been to much and wouldnt stand.. so they made it hard as rock.. but that wouldnt stand either so I dont really know..in my experience, all purple skirt are 100% the hard ones, as thats what i had as a kid here in Canada... and maybe half the gold ones are soft, and half are hard.. maybe not even that many.. i definitely kept both of them much more of a variant than say, valentine or hogan's hair..

I've noticed this too and that would have been my guess. Got me thinking though, were there any other figures that were known for not being able to stand on their own?
And I never liked how they added that extra "stump" to Ax's and Dynamite's foot to help them stand. I suppose it makes sense for adults that collected and displayed them, but as a kid I always thought it just looked stupid. I wished they would have just repositioned the legs a bit.

^ a lot of figures do not stand on their own, but that could be just do to over time they change shape... but i notice that Harley Race seems to be top heavy and can never stand on his own..
