Wade Whimsies - Colorway Variations

Wade Whimsies
Production Errors, Trial Colorways, Samples, Variations & Oddities
(1993/2008) - Dinosaur Whimsies
(1993) - Set #1
Rare HTF All Beige Protoceratop

While many of these unusual color variations were produced as color trials / samples & tests and were originally submitted for use in numerous promotions i.e Tom Smith, General Foods and others, they were in the end never put into actual production.

Others were simply just production errors that got produced in an odd color and were found inside boxes of tea or crackers. 

They did however eventually end up in the marketplace through Wade Fairs and Sales over the years and are quite rare and very hard to find.

Some of these figurines were randomly used (placed) in Miscellaneous boxes of Tom Smith Crackers, (such as this one) others were used as (PR gifts) replacements for "missing" or "broken" Whimsies in the boxes of crackers when a Buyer contacted Tom Smith.

Most of them were produced using the vintage "Pressed Method" of production and all predate 2006.
