Im sure we've all done this, buying the figure when it 1st came out only to find out from toy websites that it a variant, product error, running change, chase fig.
I've mentioned the 25th Shipwreck I've open with the shark tat few days ago, So what figures/toys you've open that were variants/product errors,running change, chase figs and sometimes wish you hadn't opened. Figs I've opened 1.blue arc/eyes movie War Machine w/ letterings 2. 1st release of ROC CC w/ the 2 holes in the chest. 3. 25th Shipwreck w/ shark tat 4. 25th Gung Ho w/ anchor on hat/Scarlett with Agent Scarlett stand from 5 pack 5. Dusty from DVD pack w/o webgear 6. 25th comic pack Hawk w/ diaper crotch 7. 2002 MOTU He Man cross on chest, something I really regretted opening had I found out later waves replaced the cross. |

I think I have the War Machine variant. Had no idea it was a variant. I just wanted a version of him and an Iron Man to stand on my desk. I don't collect MOC IM figs, so it doesn't concern me one bit
I was careful with my Joes as I do keep at least one of each carded. They remain carded until I can find and exact duplicate to open. I think I have 3 battle damage SS because of this... with tattoo & mask, without tattoo & mask, without tattoo & with mask... damn being obsessive can be expensive Last edited by Python_Puckman; 06-09-2010 at 10:11 AM.. |

I am a completest of loose figures, so I open all variants as well.
There is only one reason to keep a variant, or any figure for that matter, in the package...that reason would be to sell it. So unless you were planning on selling it.....don't regret it....open it.

Spiderman 3.75" Venom w/tongue vs w/o tongue. I think we still don't know which was more abundant.

All of the 25th and Iron Man figures the OP mentioned, I too have opened. Including every version of wide crotch 25th figure, I then had to re buy each one of those again to get a thin crotch version which I also opened |

Your not supposed to open variants OOOPS.
OK seriously I rarely if ever pay attention to the minor stuff on variants. IE P Pursuit SE with Darker Timber, I never knew about it until a buddy of mine mentioned it. The only other one I was concious of is Destro comic pack with black head. But he was cool too. |
