Ernie and Bert go through a lot of change across the
years. The glued on hair of the Topper pair is so much
more attractive and accurate than the rooted hair that is sometimes ridiculously
too long and curly.
TOPPER
The Topper Bert (1971-72) Glued-on, straight
hair. Softer rubber. More detailed texture.
No Hong Kong markings on base.
     
QUESTOR/GABRIEL
Questor (1973-77) Gabriel (1978-79) Smaller
in size. Rooted, curley hair. Harder rubber. Less detailed texture. Hong
Kong markings on base.
      
GABRIEL 1980
Rooted hair. Harder, semi-translucent plastic. Bright
paint. Hong Kong markings on base.
 
VICMA
A poorly made copy of the original. Rubber is soft, hair
poofy.
