Don’t you know what THER means?

We’ve been wondering just what was going to be in the Running Press Snoopy the Flying Ace kit… and now we have a photo:

So it’s a Sopwith Camel figurine, with a booklet, presumably of Flying Ace strips. Note that the booklet says Snoopy the Flying Ace, while the box just says Snoopy Flying Ace. There’s a chance this is just a shot of a mock-up which will later be corrected; after all, the item doesn’t ship until March. But this kind of inconsistency is the hobgoblin of my mind, I’ll tell you!

(One extra cool point to those who recognize the reference in this blog post’s title. No need to mail in to identify yourselves; you know who you are!)
