Hi guys, I was trying to lookup the origin of the 75k castle, couldn’t find much really, is it a 75k new mold retooled with a slight castle stretch?
The 75K Castle is a variation of the regular 75K, but has more of the features of the new mold.
The original 75K was derived from the 98 proto, then at some point the nose and ears were tweaked some, along with possibly other areas which became the “new mold”.
After that, the 75K Castle was a bit more of a drastic tweak to give it the Castle look, but retains some of the “new mold” features. I’m sure there are other details that other folks can fill the blanks on, but that’s the basic rundown that I can recall.
The 75K Castle has been altered enough though that it really kind of stands on its own. It does retain some of those “new mold” features, so it was probably the foundation for it. Of course there is the 75K Supreme, but I think the Castle is more in line with the “new mold” sculpt.
Thanks man, just ordered a blank, that’s why I’m curious
