I don't know either one of my HISS drivers card has the shiny logo and it is indented and the others I have are just plain.

I tell you, it is not worth the asking price. For 500 bucks I would buy a Flagg or something.

This has confused me as well. The joes I have carded (6 from waves 1-4) have a "foil" finish to the logos but doesnt seem to be embossed. A clear definition of this foil logo thing would be cool. Anyone?

People will believe anything is a variant. I wonder what moron will actually buy this.

From what I know, Hasbro just changed the material used to make the logo. I have seen this type of logo on waves 4-8. Nothing special about them, they are just shinny and such. I could be wrong......

That is partially correct, but Hasbro hasn't done it for EVERY figure in those waves and there are still some figures who come out in the dull, non-raised logo and others with the shiny, raised mirrored logo.

Interesting thread. I just got a wave 7 Duke with Jet-Pack with the raised logo.

You never know though, could be worth something some day.

500 bucks though for one action figure. No way........I could buy a Cobra Army for that.
