Roger Clemente Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 I found this at my local Wal-mart yesterday. I couldn't buy it, but luckily I just found a pic of it on eBay.For five points, who can name what's wrong with this figurine?--Roger "Time?" Clemente.

spyboy1 Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 I saw one of those also. His left arm below the stripe is from a "home red" jersey, while the rest of the body is from a "road white". If you can turn the figure around, he has a white sleeve number in a black stripe on the right arm, and a red number in a white area on the left.Ooops!JeffB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Clemente Posted September 21, 2003 Author Share Posted September 21, 2003 The thing that makes this even more of an error is the impossiblity of both the S-logo shoulder and the white sleeve arch existing, because the sleeves on the red jersey are flush with the shoulders, with the white arc beginning about one inch below the seam. The shoulder with the S-logo on it is on a white shoulder panel and sticks out a few inches below the sleeve seam. The two would overlap!--Roger "Time?" Clemente.

MrHockey9 Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 This figure caused a huge controversy. There are two figures made of each player a common figure and a "chase" alternate uniform one. The regular white Hossa got the chase red Hossa's left arms and vice versa.

iDonovan Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 All the Hossa figures were painted wrong. The entire production was screwed up. It is not worth any more than the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STL FANATIC Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 It's sorta covered in the whole "the entire sleeve is from the road", but the numbers on the sleeve are in the road and alt font, not the home font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
