| I am wondering if there is a way to identify period specific legs for the original
classic space minifigures.
Also wondering if the solid stud head should be the squared off version as opposed
to the rounded version?
Anything to look for with the tanks?
I am comfortable identifying the original helmets and torsos.
Trying to re-assemble original versions and want to make sure I am doing it right.
Thanks for any help.

| I think i remember a forum post from way back about the position of the mold
pip on the original air tanks.
Someone with greater insight than me should chime in

No logo / number in the legs or the hips.

I’m not sure when they were rounded but I find them difficult to differentiate.
I have a couple unmarked yellow heads from old figs (the ones that had their
hands in their pockets and their feet like Charlie Chaplin) that look more square.
I have new heads (2010-) that look rounder.
In between, I have old classic grin heads that seem rounder than the unmarked
ones but squarer than the newer ones

There’s at least two versions / two plastics from that time:

But:
— no logo / number under the “collar”
— no ridge inside the bottles / same diameter all the way up.
I only checked on a dozen or so old airtanks but the pip seems to always be
on the right of the bar on top of the bottles (right = the right of the MF, so
near its right shoulder).
On the 5 new ones I have, it’s on the left.
Could be chance though.
