Figures with "E.L." stamped on their feet

Does anyone know who or why or where the “E.L.” stamp ended up on some of the Thundercats feet? thanks

I was looking through some of my figures and noticed that two of them had E.L. on the bottom also. As this thread is a little old, I thought I would check and see if anyone found the answer to this? I had done some searching and found some references to it in this thread, but it didnt sound definitive…

I would appreciate any information on this anyone can offer.
