Ram Man Rotoplast (Venezuela)
While similar in colors generally to a standard Ram Man, the Rotoplast really stands out for its golden cuffs! Here are a few ways to identify a Venezuela Ram Man.
CHARACTERISTICS
-
Gold Cuffs. All Rotoplast Ram Mans were made with golden wrist cuffs. If you see one without them its because they've come off.
-
Figure marked Mattel Inc. 1982. The place were "Taiwan" would go has been scratched off.
-
The axe is unmarked.
-
The red plastic coat can come in 1 of 2 ways. Either a matte red similar to a taiwan, or a darker red made of a thinner, more breakable plastic. This version appears to be the standard matte red.
-
The face can be similar pink to a taiwan or a more white, powder pink face. This one appears more light powder pink when compared to a taiwan, but the difference is subtle.
An interesting side note is that the spring mecanism on this one is very strong. Much more so than a standard ram man. I would imagine a bigger spring was used.
