White valentine's baby question

[HavACrumpet452]

Does the white baby usually have patent pending on her foot? I have one that seems like its half there but maybe they tried to cover it up in the mold.

Not at home to check right now, but I'll check both of mine later...

Mine has the Pat Pend kind of removed/covered. It is still a bit visible though.

That pose has rather delicate print on the hooves... I could see where there could be print that was missed in the factory if not pressed hard enough.

Mine has: 1984 Hasbro on the front hoof. And on the back: Made in, and on the other, Hong Kong. No pat pend.

They were released after the stamp was removed. However sometimes the cover up on some moulds is shoddily done so you can kind of see it. But they should have the stamp removed.

Thanks. I was just wondering since I just got her and noticed it. Its like this, you totally can't read this right? terribly shoddy cover-up job.

LOL - thats the perfect description. The section of the mould would have been covered with a section of molten metal probably and because there were multiple moulds some got the coverage better than others.

One has it completely gone the other you can see two p's...  lol.
Definitely isn't as noticeable with the adults that were made between the transition time.
