Daddy Bright Bouquet, Hong Kong VS China

[Saja]

Hi all, I have these 2 daddys here, the faded one is marked made in hong kong and the other made in china. All my other brothers are made in hong kong, are there others made in china? are there differences, the ones I see here could be just fading, as one is bluey and the other aqua, the faded one has severe tail an main rust, an I was planning on cleaning him out and rehairing him. The China one is in excellent condition.

Yes, the Loving Family parents have Hong Kong Pat Pend, China Pat Pend, China NON-Pat Pend, and NC variations.

I am in the process of moving it but here's my site that shows all of them:

The country/region listed above each photo is where I have primarily found them. Below each photo is the hoof stamps.

oh cool thanks for sharing!

there are 4 versions of each of the three dads

pat pend hong kong
pat pend china
no pat pend china
no pat pend no country

the first two are the most common, with pat pend china slightly htf than pat pend hk
the no pat pends are harder to find and you can expect to pay more unless you just randomly luck out (but the no country/spanish one has the tell-tale dark eyeliner that gives them away)

For some reason I think the Apple Delights are the easiest to tell apart I am not sure why - perhaps its the pose or something.

As others have said these sets have a lot of variety due to the time frame they were made and the different ways they ended up being released.

Congrats on having both in your collection
