Look at the waist on both figures. The first guy with light green on waist I bought at a local indoor flea market about a year ago. The second guy dark green I just got over the weekend through a trade and it came with some nicely kept stuff. It looks like a normal ripcord. Anybody have any information about the light green waist? It doesn't look faded if you were wondering that. Just looks like they didn't paint it.

It appears the first- in addition to being lighter green is completely missing the dark even paint apps on his butt straps in the second example they are painted the same color as the belt.

The figure is a lighter green overall. I didn't even think about that. I was referring to the paint apps on the waist that the one is a lighter green and not dark green. But ya it looks like they didn't paint it.

I believe he was a mail away at some point. that means different mold runs. maybe 3 or 4 years apart. then there is action force/funskool/Chinese versions from different past productions. I have a bunch with almost red hair.... then a bunch with brown hair too.

I think the one on the left is slightly discolored. But, the straps are unpainted, so it might still be a "variant". It might be a factory error. I'll have to look at mine more closely.

The missing paint on the straps seems more like a factory paint error to me.

Not sure that it is. I had the light close to the right side. Under the naked eye the dark green patches on both figures look the same, just the other green is lighter than the other figure. No doubt Factory error could be it though. I also noticed something with the 1983 and 1984 dukes gun but I don't feel like taking pictures right now maybe later. I have 4 of them greens are lighter than others, but thats not what I noticed. What I noticed was two of the 4 guns are rounded on the gun tip and the other 2 guns are flat.
