Comparison

Comparison volume #2

      Here is a second wave of itty bittys that have more than one version. We are looking at the differences between the two kinds so you can tell them apart and know what you have. Sometimes it just helps to see them side by side.  I think I have them listed, but 'Regular' refers to the normal versions that are normally sold in stores and don't have a limited run. This includes ones that are in 1st in series, boxed sets, or 2-packs, etc.
   In case you missed it here is a Link the the first set of comparisons that we did. The links to these posts can also be found on the "Itty bitty Basics' page.

Other Mentions 

Jack & Sally (Nightmare before Christmas)

It appears that the new stock ones have slightly different packaging for the Anniversary.  On the original release the card has a gold ban across the top while the new ones have a black band and a line mentioning the Anniversary under the title. There don't appear to be any other difference.
