Fact: A rare find as this product was recalled. The product would light up in an electrical way. UPDATE: KISS fan Jim Mitzel writes “I actually wanted to clear up some misguided information about this item. It was told to the general public that the defect was indeed the picture on the glass. However, being very close friends with six Store Managers of various Spencer's locations, I was actually shown the email on their systems at the stores from their Corporate telling all associates to remove these from the shelves immediately due to an electrical issue that could possibly cause a fire hazard. At the bottom, Spencer's Corp. placed a disclaimer on the email in bold type to tell customers that they were being removed "due to a defect in the picture coming off the glass". If you own one of these. Be warned!

Fact: Hmmmm, what mood am I in today? A bit "Space-y", "Demonic" or perhaps a bit of a "Pussy"!? The idea is the colours change when switched on. Unfortunately on the actual product the green colour stops behind Ace and the Blue behind Peter, a production error?
