Blood for the Baron!

Yeah, it's bizarre!
You have a real rarity there!
I'm just going to double check all of mine

I think G.M.P.G stands for General Mills Products Group, the parent company who owned both Palitoy & Kenner toys @ the time.

Right. That makes sense... but what is CPGPC then, I wonder?

Probably copyright. There are so many sources of black detonator it'll take a bit to work out. Off the top of my head, Boat Patrol, Battle gear, Sparrowhawk and Quickfire. It could be German.

Like Ed, all mine are raised bar regardless of colour.

The Baron has a Q Force deep sea defender MOC pictured in the toy guide that has unpainted straps, only one I've seen.

Another one for Hopper,
I've been sorting out my collection today & wondered if you've spotted these Ammo box variants before :
The copyright stamp, on box B, is completely different. A less noticeable difference is the letter A on the front of the case.

Once again I've no clue as to the origins or rarity of both variants, all I know is that I've got far more of type A than of type B.

Damn! It's funny, but I checked the backs of a few of mine, thinking that this might be a possibility. Alas, found nothing.
You sure you're not just manufacturing these to drive me insane?

I wonder why the copyright is different & what the letters C.P.G.P.C. stand for?

Yeah, anyone know? Thoughts?
