Secrets:
Peter’s “Brain Trust” is an homage
to all owl varieties, and so is in essence “every-owl!”
The names of well-known owl varieties are carved on
the base of these lifelike fellows. Inside, a remarkable
event that will take place on June 8, 2004 is commemorated:
The transit of Venus. This refers to the day Venus will
pass directly between Earth and our Sun, the first time
this phenomenon has occurred since 1882. At that time,
Venus will appear to our eyes as a small black dot against
the sun. Savvy collectors will note that Peter’s
signature mouse has gone missing! Since mice happen
to be a favored owl snack, it sure makes one wonder…
Color Variation:
"How fun! Harmony Kingdom has released a special
variation of the new Treasure Jest box figurine "Brain
Trust." As a special surprse for collectors, the
variation wasn't announced by Harmony Kingdom, but discovered
by an HK fan!
For
just 250 pieces of Peter's "Brain Trust, a lighter
coloration was used, making it markedly different than
its companions!"
