Collectors learned that it existed, however, and popular demand eventually brought it to market in 1998 in appropriately black packaging as part of the Black Box Series.

A rather pleased-looking vulture sits atop a sawn-off elephant's foot while using a headless hyena as support for his Valentine: “Roses are red, violets are blue, I ate the head, but the heart is for you.” His gift-wrapped heart is marked “To A,” a reference to Peter's wife Andrea. Inside is another heart bearing the mysterious initials “HKM,” whose meaning Peter himself could no longer remember. Some early examples also carry “Valentine” and “14 FEB,” while a known molding flaw left many of the vultures without toenails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom the Harmony Kingdom Archives\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example has a documented history that distinguishes it from an ordinary secondary-market \u003cem\u003eHave A Heart\u003c\/em\u003e.
