Yup. (Didn't you read those links?)

Yes, I didn't not display them exactly as they were/ weren't on their
site.

Nope. They're dead right. Anybody can draw a beachball for a normal
and a strike-slipper. Even the original G-version I should think.

Nope

then said their drawings were wrong?

Their drawings are right.

(What is it about 'George' that brings out the competitive instinct in
Pteros? Are you SUPERGEORGE or what? If so you'll need to go some.
George is no problem but you'll need to go some to beat that Hank
Fellow. He's been practising for a while, and added an extra
ingredient. He's an artist (to the power 42).

This is always the trouble with upgrades, they try to programme in the
most useless stuff imaginable, and drop the real ingredient so they can
introduce it later with some razzamatazz. Look like we're in for a
hard time. What sort of a wardrobe will it be after The Gorilla? Ok
George, what you gunna do, now there's Version 2, Not-that-George,
The-other-George, George-of-the-Jungle, and God Save US,
HANK-THE-BALROG?
