It’s my US versus UK article. I’ve done some editing on it as I found some of the text a bit confusing on the old version. I’ve also added the £Stretcher info as well. I’m much happier with this now
Go here to see the new version I uploaded in my staff folder:
I wanted you guys to see it first to confirm it’s ok to upload to the actual site. Ignore the fact it’s missing the main navigation bar. I couldn’t find the correct one to download from the site folder.
Oh and can someone edit and watermark this image of the age sticker for me:
That’s an outstanding job there, Neil! Everything in that article is laid out very clearly and informatively, nice one!
If I was going to be hyper-hyper picky, there are a couple of commas that I would take out and a couple of words I would swap around, but the article is still fine without those amendments. FWIW, the minor amendments I would make are:
Remove the comma from this sentence: “Some figures sold in the UK, had packaging almost identical to those produced and sold in the United States.”
Swap the words “only” and “have” in this sentence: “The text should have only been printed on the Lion-O and Mumm-Ra cardbacks as they are the only figures that required batteries.”
Remove the “s” from the word “cards” to make “card back” (I’m pretty sure this is a typo anyway): “It is thought that this was a late production error or due to production ending and the last remaining figures being packed on whatever cards backs they had left at the time.”
Lastly, I would swap the words “the best way” and “by far” in this sentence: “However I have seen some cards without this sticker, so the best way by far is to check for the One AAA alkaline battery required text”, so that that says “by far the best way” - however, that’s just a personal thing and the way you have it now is equally fine!
Other than that, I would say that is 110% “site worthy” and an excellent piece of additional information for the Toy Section, info I’ve not seen anywhere else!
