i didnt think the 40th was done with the beard

looks like a 4mm re flock to me mate   

the 40th figure in this set should be a flocked head and beard ,either blonde or dark with a painted face and 64 type body , they also have a gripper and hh version ,i believe the hh is hms victory and the grippers is hms fearless .This looks like a ee bp 40th figure and the figure may well have been swapped as in the 40th line the 64 bods are superior !

I'm curious about this...I saw 40th EE bearded flocked figure in the window
Of Model Zone in Liverpool a couple of years ago, when I went in to inquire
About said figure the assistant who was selling it told me it was a rare prototype
Figure then proceeded to tell me how much it would be worth in the future.
The price.....£80.00

Im wondering if this is that figure.

........and yes I did tell him he was talking bobbins, he disagreed with my
Assessment of the figures provenance, but he declined my suggestion of an
Alternative anatomical place which to store this figure.

Some people!

here is what it should look like the hard hand  version , bear in mind the price it is being sold with a 40th M.P.uni

40th uniforms and figures are commanding higher prices, cerrtainly now than when i started to collect them !
seen the price of an argyle or horse guards uni lately and the life guards is a little bit more expensive (a lot)
than the blues and royals !

It's certainly a nice looking AM for a 40th custom, the uniform looks lovely and crisp
