Fridge Mail-in Offer Variants
1985 Chicago Bears football sensation William "The Refridgerator" Perry was immortalized as an action figure in 1986. The Fridge was available as a mail-order offer starting in 1986 through 1987.
Pictured above are the backsides of the insert that came packaged with action figures in 1986 and early 1987. When someone collected five of these, they could be sent in for a free Fridge.
The top one was printed in the USA and has a small TM following each occurance of "FRIDGE". The bottom version has a lower "part number" and was printed in Hong Kong. The front also has a slight change in wording. The U.S. version reads (*50c charge), and he will... - the Hong Kong version reads (*50c charge). And he will....
It's unclear which version is more difficult to find.
