There have been a few "spotted dogs" on Ebay recently.
They are listed as "hand painted in Finland"
Does anyone know if this is true, or are they just like these.

There seems to be more of these than Dalmations in a Disney movie.
There are a heap more listed on ebay (hand painted in Finland)
On the back of the box it states that they are assembled in Estonia...ConfusedConfusedConfused
I paid $16 -$17 for mine retail.
I think someone is "playing with the truth"

I checked the guys feedback, and there are none for the lures that he has already sold.
If you didn't know better, then I suppose you would be happy
Mine are available for $45 post free.LOLLOLLOL

Notice the 'Made in Estonia' rerelease spotted dogs are now hitting $51. I'm lost for words!!
The original earlier versions would have 'Made in Finland' on the bibs.
