MPC Teepee's (or Tipi's) - Another Variation

Soooo, you get a set in you like and it has cool accessories - in this case an MPC playset which had teepees in it. Then you get in another set and it too has the same accessory but there's a variation! THEN you get some more stuff in and fine yet another variation, and so on! Whooppee LOL This is both fun and frustrating for collector's. There are no really good reference materials to show every variation and it's fairly safe to assume more will be found over time. So, as I like to say, the hunt is on!.

Here's what happened. I bought one of MPC's many Fort Frontier sets and it had a couple of teepees with yellow frames and a white-&-red cover. Then I got another set with a black frame and  white-&-red cover. Then I got a set with a paper teepee. Then a job lot of MPC odds-&-ends came in and the teepee in the lot had a brown frame with yellow-&-red cover and it had the top piece missing from all the other tents accumulated to-date! Cool! Let's take a look at the latest variation. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

That top, which represents where all the poles would meet and cross on the real thing, is a separate piece and usually missing







Different color frames, different color covers.
