Thanks for all the input. I still disagree. A variant starts out as a error and then when error is fixed is that when it decomes a variant. And in the other post another cobra stand is out there.
Its like the first red star came out on a cobra card and then was fixed later on. Variant. Defferent in some way from others of the same kind or form. an error is not the same as a variant, and most errors don't lead to variants like your Red Star argument, which isn't the same as a mispainted figure stand, so I don't understand how you think that is a defense of your position. sure, technically it varies from the norm, but that doesn't make it the same as a variant that leads to two different versions of the same figure on the market. by that logic, every single figure ever released is a variant, from date stamps to "variant" paint mis-apps. and if everything is a variant, there is no point in defining variants because it becomes the norm. I have two Flints, one has a little extra paint on the shirt from his belt. since it varies from the other, it must be a variant by your logic. I don't think any rational person would make that assertion. Last edited by gunslingercbr; 08-17-2008 at 04:45 PM.. |

A variant is planned. an example is the black headed destro, clear wraith. An error is just that an error. only important to those that find it important.

Im pretty sure when a company openly states they are going to make 1 normal and one chase, the chase is a "variant. If you find a destro with 2 left legs, and the wrong figure in the box, or an unpainted foot its a factory error. People use the term variant incorrectly in the action figure community. Mainly on ebay just to make more money. like the terms "RARE" "VHTF" & "SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE" When it comes to action figure collecting, "variant" has a different definition then your Websters dictionary Last edited by Jdizzle66; 08-17-2008 at 04:44 PM.. |

This is a production error. That its been changed or corrected simply means that QC is doing their job.

its a factory error..... no one is perfect..
I guess we live in a perfect world that anything wrong with a toy thats a mistake by the factory packaging them would be called a variant.

I once found an Ace vs. Wild Weasel comic pack that had a Cobra stand with Ace's name on it. What a traitor he is! I ended up leaving it there on the peg because I only purchase things that are correct. I could care less about how much money I could have gotten from some sucker on ebay for that error.
I made my own thread about this a few months back. Here is the link... http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...ice-versa.html

Ok for real what does it matter if you have something Different?
Is it because its Different? Is it because you have to have every single Figure thats out...even if its the same fig? Is it because you can throw it on ebay and maybe make a buck? The whole stand with Falcon thing....do you really need to chase another comic pack down even though more than half of you hate the figure....just to have the Falcon pack with a Cobra stand? I mean maybe Hasbro put the stand in there knowing half of you hate the figure just to get you to chase the figure........and in turn sale more Figures that people hate???? Or the Black Destro head is it really that important to have a fig that was never in the comics or show with a black head? I dont get it...please explain someone.... |

I can't even find any, well found one, wave 5 Comic packs where I'm at so though its most likely a packing error you are doing great just to find those. We still have many of the past wave packs here, at least from what I'm seeing warming the pegs.
