Wow, this is wild. The more I dig into my photo files, the more unposted photos I'm finding. Back in 2023 teepee's (or 'tipi's' - I guess both are correct) were a big thing on the blog and a whole bunch were posted...
...and then I got distracted. Several teepee's made by Payton ultimately didn't get posted back then so now's as good a time as any to do that. The way teepee's are made by toy manufacturer's leaves a lot of them incomplete as that top part - which represents the poles meeting - is usually a separate piece that goes missing. Payton's teepee's were made in bright, primary colors like blue, red, yellow. etc. Later, after HG Toys acquired the tooling, HG made them in more realistic subdued tan's and brown's. Repos are generally identified by having the decorations and patterns altered in some way. While looking at photos helps, it's a whole lot easier to tell when holding them up close and personal. My sample here is a bit chewed up, but still quite serviceable. Be Blessed and Relish Life! Ed
