Wave 8 Cobra Commander Variations

I saw numerous different wave 8 Cobra Commander (with the red element) variations today at Walmart. They had about 8 of this CC, All but two had the comics graphic in the top right corner of the card, the others had the cartoon graphic. I think the ones with the cartoon logo had a white backing behind the figure, the others were yellow. I don't really care about card variations since I open my figures, but wanted to note this for those completists who do want the card variants.


I also noticed a variation in the way the vial with the red element was made. The plastic was clear for some, and kinda cloudy for others. I want to get one of this figure just for the element accessory, but don't know which one to buy. For those that have the Cobra Diver and Tripwire with the other element accessories, what did the vial look like? Are those ones clear or cloudy? I want to know so I can get a CC with a vial that will match the ones that I will get with the other figures.

I think a more significant variation may be the location of the red sigil on the card art. The one I received with Wave 8 had it located in the upper left of his jacket (to better match the figure), while the one that came in my Wave 12 case was centered (like on the Wave 4 card).

The "yellow bubble" CC is pretty much the to be released wave 4 2007 CC (look at the filecards). I think they just wanted to get more bang for there buck by using the same card. The mass piece variance is interesting though...

I'm not sure what you are talking about KuuKuuSon. I did see some old wave 4 CCs with the 25th Anniversary logo, but I was not referring to them. The ones I mentioned in the first post were all wave 8 CCs with the element.
