Talk:Crankcase (DOTM)

Deluxe Crankcase hands
I thought I had broken the fingers off of mine without realizing it, but the folks over at TFArchive brought to my attention that there are currently three variations of the figure in circulation. There's the original hand mold, which has the elongated middle finger shown on the box art. Then there's a second version which has the original mold with the fingers clipped, often not very neatly and at varying lengths, allegedly because they were afraid of how parents would react to an extended middle finger; not that it would make a difference considering the articulation does not allow the arms to be positioned in such a way as to make the gesture obvious. And then there's a third variation, which I've not been able to find a picture of, which features a different hand mold with a much shorter finger. I googled it, and several other websites mentioned the finger trimming as well. I'd edit the article to reflect this information, but I don't know how to properly add a source link.
