I was at the swapmeet today, and found a couple CocoJoe's pieces. One of them, I already had, but for some reason, I had a feeling there was something "off" about it. I've learned to always trust my first instincts, so I haggled, bundled, and lied my way to getting it at a lower price than originally stated.

Here's the piece. It's one of the earliest ones that they produced, CCJ 120 Madame Pele:

It has the prebook/pretag era sticker on it

Bottom markings:

When I got it home, I compared it to the one I had, and as you can see, it was a different sculpt

The old CCJ's catalog that I have has the same face as the one I already had does.

Moral of the story: Buy it all when you see it and sort it all out later.

I also picked up this Polystone #1 piece:


I like this one because it has a different leaf broken off of it than on the other one I have. It's also a different color.

Damn these variations!
