The new X-73 odd shape patch was issued at Pow-Wow a few weeks ago. This was made specifically for the new Venturing uniform. I has been brought to my attention that we may just have a variety in this issue….OH NO!!! Collectors can decide for themselves whether or not it is or it isn’t.
The difference is a thin white line across the top of the thunderbirds head. See blow-ups for that particular detail. In the 104 Collector’s Guide we will be calling these X73a (solid purple head) and X73b (thin white line on head). Other collectors might just say MVE if they do not collect variations.
