CATCHING FIREFLIES

83/102 Catching Fireflies  

Original selling price: $18.00
Introduced: February 2000
Issued: 2000

In the actual production piece,  the antennae are coming out of the fireflies nose instead of the top of their head like in the photo of the 2000 catalog (p. 19).    

Both the photo on the box and 2000 catalog (p. 19) shows the fireflies body a pale blue and the antennae on the head. This was the prototype used during the photo shoot.  The actual production piece shown below is dark blue.  The prototype was sold at auction at the Flamingo Fling in Florida  in 2000.
