CAPTAIN CARROT(Incorrect Badge 177) (DW100) This is an excellentrepresentation of the 6’ 6” tall dwarf (by adoption) who got his name, not forthe colour of his hair but for his shape. When he flexes his muscles, othermuscles have to move out of the way and trolls have learned to respect hispunch. Carrot has a simplistic approach to policing and believes underneath itall everyone is decent. After a few early setbacks in the Ankh Morpork Watch hehas had an exemplary career... and has been promoted to Captain, effectively second incommand to Commander Vimes. Originally releasedin February 1999 the badge number 177 was used. It had previously been used onCaptain Vimes (DW54). It was pointed out that this should be a personal badgeto Vimes and therefore the mould for Captain Carrot was re-made with the badge191. The ‘wrong’ numbers were produced between February and June 1999. This version onsale carries the badge number ‘177’. The figurine is invery good condition, with no damage. It has the original (pre-pewter) DiscworldLogo, has not been displayed since purchase and comes complete with theoriginal box, tent card and base sticker as supplied by Clarecraft. This figurine is partof the Discworld range, whichwere all individually approved by Terry Pratchett. The series is highlysought-after following the sad demise of Clarecraft, who handmade and handpainted all the pieces under licence in Woolpit, Suffolk, UK. It will be packaged extensively inside asecond box to ensure no damage during transit and comes from a smoke-free home. I will try where possible to combine postagecosts on multiple purchases.

I have otherfigurines and artefacts on auction at present with more to come, so please takea look at my other auctions or add me to your favourite sellers. Thank you for lookingand happy bidding.
