The old Battat Ceratosaurus

I know that many of us have a copy of Battat's original green Ceratosaurus with the horizontal tail. I have one too. However, I believe that it was mentioned a couple of years ago that towards the end of the production of the Battat figures in the early 2000's, they produced a green one with a down-turned tail.
This is logical, because the Battat Terra repaint is simply a copy of an older sculpt, but repainted. If I recollect accurately, even Dan had been unaware of this factory modification.

My questions - has anyone ever seen one of these GREEN ones with its DOWN-TURNED tail? Anyone have one for sale?

The new re-issued was based on the one with a tail pointing down. Hope this helps

Yes, that's proof positive that it actually exists. Good, I'll keep my eyes open for one - who knows ... sooner or later, one may pop up. Thanks for the response - appreciate it.
