There are two main mould variations. Subvariants do exist and may not all be documented. As a result of the fact that these were shot on a sprue tree in higher numbers the subvariants may vary heavily depending on the mould used.

MOULD COMPARISON: M1 & M2

There are two main mould variations: M1 used by Unitoy in Hong Kong and later on by Lili Ledy in Mexico and M2 which was used by Universal Manufacturers in Taiwan. The main differences are the plastic malleability (M1=stiff, M2=slightly softer) and mould cavities used: M1 was stamped A, B, C and D whereas M2 was stamped with E, F, G and H.
