Sunlight changes the old 80's figure, the 25th anniversary figure is changed by temperature now. Stick him in a freezer, you'll see what I mean ;) |

So would this mean that the no-logo color changers are the rarer breed since they happened in the interim? Or the logo color changers since they were first and might have produced a smaller finite amount?
Either way I'm getting tired of holding a Zartan I don't need because it could possibly accrue value in 30 years.

Not enough people use the word accrue...
As for the rarer Zartan, I suppose someone would have to find the first day of production for the Original Marked Color Changer... From there, since we think we now think we have a transition period for the Marked to Unmarked cards, its math to figure out how many days each was produced. Likewise for the last of the Color Changing figures... |

I don't know if my Zartan with the #72252 was the first or not, but the same number is on all of my wave 2 and 3 figures (Including Shark Tat Shippy and Banana Stalker)

My Firefly has 72502. It looks like the retooled crotch (that just doesn't sound good anytime) So where does that put mine?

Shogi, sorry it took me so long to get back to you with the information. I have two Zartans without the color change feature on the card, but both appear to have the color change paint (it's pretty chilly here this morning, and they have both turned puke green). The numbers are both:
72482 Hope this helps. |

Here at my work, we have 2 shifts... shift A and B, so our lot numbers are as follows 63027A, Line 6, on Oct 29th, that is the 302nd day of the year in 07 and the day shift is A. 63027A
Perhaps the 2 means the second shift of the day. Have you seen any with 1 or are they all 2? I dunno... I'm guessing. It's an internal warehouse specific code for sure. So what's the more valuable variant? I know I'm a little behind on the times, but my wife picked me up a Color changing face Zartan with no color change logo. Is that one the more common? I'll check his lot number tonight too.
