I have never noticed that before.I have my set and figures photographed and just checked my images.My figure is the same as yours.When I checked my box images which are not very large I noticed on one side of the box an image of the king on horse coming out of the opening drawbridge and it appears that the front of him has no print?It is not very common to find prototype figures like this on Playmobil images, but the most common one is the black playmobil figure in the crows nest on the early 3550 sets with white hands.The same figure also appears on the back of the UK 1984 catalogue with the other figures one with one piece arm and one with twisty wrist arms.
hi sir gareth you mean that this figure shown in the back of the box in the contents ,the front of it has not eny print? this is what you mean??
No, on the box sides theres an image of the king on horse and it looks like he has no print on his front.
