Teddy In My Pocket Charlie: Repaint or Variation?

[charlottem2010]

I was just browsing through a few Teddy IMP listings on eBay and discovered this carry case listing with a few figures, including a Charlie figure that doesn’t have a green bow tie, instead it’s the same colour as his fur. Could this be another variation of the figure, a figure that slipped through the production line at the time before his bow tie was painted or a repaint? Would love to know people’s thoughts as I know new variations sometimes do appear and this could potentially be one.

Here’s the link to the listing: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Teddy-in-my-Pocket-House-Bundle-Carry-Case-Playset-with-18-Bear-Figures-/294888704573?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

You do get some without certain parts having been painted, the teddy looks like it had been missed rather than painted. I have some such things, one example is Puppy 69 where his headphones and wires are not painted red, and a blue one without his black eyes.

Not really going to be a mass produced variation.
