I don't know or care if it qualifies as a "variant",but I think it was intentional,and I think if they put this figure in future case assortments,it will go back to red mask. Just so we are clear.I said the zartan with no color change logo was a running change,and was wrong.It's likely i'm wrong again. |

I don't think they're rare. I'm picking them up as I see them to build my army (could use a few more if you guys see more at Target/TRU/WM).

Here is my thoughts on the subject. Since hasbro is masters of recycling, i propose that these are a liquidation of leftovers. They may have an overstock of cards, and black is cheaper than red or multicolored guns (a guess). or leftovers from too many "flint heads" or multi-packs. No matter what i consider it a variant, but the increased value thing is too soon and nuts in my book. Especially while the run is still going. That whole "product may vary" thing saves hasbro from these "errors". I have seen them once so far at target, 4 of them. But i am glad it is the look of the original toy trooper, too bad they are going to be impossible to find. I have over 50 of the "viper pilot" version, I need to grow the regular troops to match..ha ha ha. COBRA!
