1981 Edition
The 1981 edition of the plate differs from its predecessor in not only its 7-inch diameter size and use of colors, but also in construction as a purely decorative piece. It was manufactured in Korea by an unspecified company, and featured holes in the top rim at the base (or backside) of the plate, allowing a metal wire to be looped through so as to facilitate wall-hanging.
It features fewer attractions than its predecessor: Battle of Galactica, Attack of Jaws, Stunt Men in Action, and Collapsing Bridge. However, it commemorates the newest attraction introduced on 13 June 1980[1] entitled Castle Dracula.
