SGT. Pepper's Gloss & Matte??? (1 Viewer)

I'm still curious what the deal is with two versions of the SGT. Pepper's Band with one being in Gloss and the other in Matte?

I think K & C offered the customer a choice as to how they wanted it. I recently purchased a Napoleonic figure that I thought was glossy but was matte. My repair person who used to be a K & C dealer told me that K & C made it in gloss but would make it in matte if customers wanted it that way. I assume the same thing happened with the Beatles set.

Brad is correct . . . Andy offered both matt and glossy options on many figures/sets in he 1993-1996 period. Among the figures I have seen offered both ways were almost all of the Streets of Hong Kong figures, the early Rough Rider figures, Sgt. Peppers, the early Napoleonics, and even some of the early WWII figures.

The early Napoleonics look much better in gloss so the one I had in matte, I had it glossed.

I favor gloss but have to say the matte version with this set is also very impressive!

Thanks for the clarification, much appreciated!
