Heavyweights Ref 301 -359

The Heavyweights reference numbers 300 to 359 and there wonderful variations and base combinations.

While reference 322 is commonly viewed as the endpoint, the possibility extends up to 359. Paul Lloyd has indicated that all three figures (HW, Zombie, and LW) were produced up to reference 359 in 1981. Paul Lloyd also stated, as many of these teams are French they are more likely to be found in Delacoste boxes

While a few of these teams have surfaced on the internet, others remain elusive. To document their existence, I’ve gathered pictures from The HW Book by Alessio Luppi, Matteo Lastucci, and Fabrizio Frazzoni. However, some of these images may appear dubious and or repaints… I neither confirm nor deny their existence but aim to establish some form of documentation. Personally, I remain on the fence until I see pictures of complete teams in referenced boxes.
If you possess such teams, please share them 🙂

Additionally, it’s worth noting that reference 349 was omitted for unknown reasons and remained missed when the LW’s came, marking the first missed reference number in Subbuteo history.
