Flipped artwork
« on: May 13, 2010, 02:12:44 PM »

Recently, I was looking at my 1983 Dragonfly box and noticed the cannon is portrayed on the opposite skid.  Other "flipped artwork" includes 1983 Doc, the 1984 Slugger, 1985 Ferret and Silver Mirage.  (all flipped presumably for aesthetic reasons)
Are there any more examples?
Any examples of original artwork corrected?

This isn't exactly "flipped" artwork...but if I remember correctly, the original Spirit card art had him holding a gun without a handle while the toy had one. For the 25th remake, the situtation was reversed (cardart = handle, toy = not)
