Additional notes regarding Eidai's box numbering:
It has come to my attention that there were multiple issues of a number of
Eidai's Grip Character toys, notably in the Gatchaman
series. These toys were issued in boxes bearing the "Eidai Corporation"
logo, as well as in boxes with the more commonly seen "G" Grip logo. These
boxes
feature two distinct numbering sequences. Conventional wisdom seems to be
that the "Eidai Corp" boxed Gatchaman toys are from an earlier run. However,
as the numbering sequence found on those boxes is in fact higher than that of
the "G" logo boxes, if these were produced earlier, this is somewhat
logic-defying. Unfortunately, it has
yet to be determined which sequence came first. In the interest of
thoroughness, both numbering sequences have been added to the lists
contained in this article. Back to planet earth now. - RD
