ok everyone i know there is alot of false variant and fake posts on ebay we all know that but i'm unsure on a couple that are real or not, the first one is this Firefly (not the missing backpack!) with no symbol? i guess they meant cobra symbol? 2nd the gung-ho with the anchor on his hat, i think there just switching them with the 5 pack joe, 3rd recently i seen someone saying they bought a 5 pack TRU with a Variant tattoo inside the arm? well i'm not sure on all these rumored ones, i am familiar with the most common ones and the crotch fixes as well as the wave 1/2 re-release with the two peg just need some calrrifying on the first 3 thanks to all Tankers for the help

Can we actually call those variants? I mean the ones with the fixed crotch...
If that's the case then are the other ones RARER? I also hope Hasbro will keep up with variants because they always make it worth the while.

Personally I consider anything with a missing paint app, a factory error.
As for the ninja 5 pack with the tattoo inside the arm, I believe that was a case of the arm just being twisted around the wrong way. Out of the 3 you need clarification for, I'd say Gung-Ho with and without anchor qualifies as a variant due to a changing of the mold. However I reconize that this can also be considered a running change. It'd be easier if every other figure wasn't getting updated to be better than it was when it was originally released (IE: Crotch Fixes) Really, there's only 3 variants I think everyone agrees on as being variants: Black Timber Yellow Stalker Shark Tat Shippy (But then I could be wrong ) |
