In the 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000 catalogs, it shows My Hero Waterglobe with a large glass globe. The prototype to My Hero Waterglobe was made with the large glass globe and was used during the photo shoot for the catalogs. Below in the right photo is a picture of the prototype. The actual production piece in the left photo and the 1996 catalog (p. 36) were made with a small glass globe.
On the box label, My Hero! Waterglobe was called "Mouse Overboard." The musical plays "With A Little Bit of Luck."
Many collectors have had problems with this particular musical. It appears that the glitter inside the globe falls down into the track. The musical plays, but the mechanism does not rotate and jams. Instead of turning it only makes a loud clicking noise. Sometimes if you shake the globe hard enough, the mechanism does turn. However, the next time you play it, it sticks again and you might dislodge the figurines.
