Yeah, I can’t tell if this is some internet ghost story or real life. (I love it when that happens.) I only sporadically saw a limited number of episodes of the original show, so if this figure was there, I would have assumed it was one of Neil’s hippy friends and/or someone passed out after a party. So do I remember this, or do I only think I do?
I love how pre-internet television and films so easily created these kinds of easily-overlooked jokes and urban legends based on misread images - the only problem being that before the internet, I wasn’t aware of them, and after, they’re easily revealed/debunked. Although this one took a while… For this to really work now, you’d have to release multiple versions, with the character in some of the DVDs/video streams, but not in all.
