A real Professor?
Hello,
I am wondering if anyone could help me identify whether either of two figures I have are THE Professor Butterglove . . . ?
Both are dressed as the Professor, but here's the scoop:
"Rabbit A" was sold to me as "the-rare-rascal-Professor-Butterglove-who-is-just-missing-his-bow-tie."
Then, I acquired another Butterglove dressed as the Professor, (“Rabbit B") as part of a lot purchase and immediately noticed differences in the two figures' appearances.
"Rabbit A" has shorter, thicker arms than "Rabbit B." "A" also has an expression that I think looks much more like the Mother Butterglove figure I have--a slightly more up-turned mouth--a more meek expression.
"Rabbit B's" fur has more of a peach hue to it, and his nose and mouth sit lower on the head, which tilts slightly to the figure’s right . . .
Not that any of this ultimately matters,  but I'm just curious if "A" might actually be Mother Butterglove in the Professor's clothes? Are these two figures just from different ranges? Different versions? Different manufacturers? Please excuse my ignorance.
I can probably email a picture to anyone curious enough to have a look!

Re: A real Professor?
Are your professors' hands open or cupped ? I think Professor A might be JP but I need to see the hands to confirmed that (:

Re: A real Professor?
Oh, dear. Both figures have what I would call "cupped" hands, not the "flat" hands . . . I tried to include a picture, but I can't figure out how to get it to appear here . . . .

Re: A real Professor?
That I have to say really leaves me clueless. It could be a factor error.
Otherwise, it could be the French version of the professor, correct me if I wrong, I am not 100% sure if the French released this set.

Re: A real Professor?
Its entirely possible they are both real. The professor was released in the 1990s and the re-released for a short time in the early 2000s. So, you could have one of each. But, its hard to tell without seeing the pictures.
