I'd be awfully surprised if YoJoe listed every single running factory change for the 25th (tho' it would be fun to watch, I admit). I remember reading a thread where some dude tried to locate every possible minor Steel Brigade variant. :rolleyes: And apparently, the original Stalker v.1 (you know, back when they had rivets) has a ton of minor variations all the way down to the cards and date stamps. So you can quit anytime, man. It's your collection. ;) -PJ |

Seriously, I'll feel naked without them. I'll look at my shelf and say..."Wow, I don't have ebola neck Zartan."
Then, when I realize that ebola neck Zartan is going for a cool Grand on eBay, I will have to sell ALL of my other Quality Cont....er...variants just to get this one. RABBLE! No, I won't limit myself. GOTTA CATCH'EM ALL! I GOT TO BUY IT! I GOT TO BUY IT! CHIN-PO-KO-MON! |

MY POKEYMANS LET ME SHOW YOU THEM.
Okay, I got the color-changing Zartan. I wanna open it, but will his face stay green all winter? What are the odds I can get a non-color change Zartan? Does anyone have any idea which is rarer? Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. -PJ |

I don't know what's sicker, buying all the different "variants", or having the urge to buy every Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow I see just because it's a 25th GI Joe figure
So my revised theory is this.... Hasbro made Zartan with color change, they decided to stop that but the figure parts were already made sitting in tubs. However they stopped with a backlog of heads waiting to be painted with color change paint (or a factory worker spoke up "Hey, we're not gonna make him with color change paint anymore, so why do I have to paint all these heads?", in a very rare instance of management having common sence, the manager told the worker he was right and sent him to the back of the room to paint shipwreck heads...in his humiliation he decided he wouldn't do a good job of painting beards) which now gives us "ebola neck" Zartan, once the left over necks are used up then we'll have a healthy supply of normal Zartans (Course this sentence is in the wrong time frame since all of these figures were carded a month or so ago) |

No, because you're forgetting that ebola virus neck also has the "lazy eye mask" variant, where the mask's left eye looks like it's staring out the window of your car as you drive home

So we can fully piece together the way this debacle went down did anyone get the production code off the back for the variant thread?

Waits on 5th version of Zartan with color changing head on non color changing neck on non color changing card and 6th version with non color changing figure on color changing card. But seriously when will this stop? Also I didn't know the neck changed color. I thought it was just the head.
