This is from Bobby's tracker site. It doesn't give a lot of insight but does shed some light on how it was decided.
NO MORE VERSION "E"
POSTED 1/8/19
The topic of the Steel Brigade versions has never really come under any contention, even though there are several of them. If there are any issues they are usually minor such as is the Version D with the alternate rifle an actual version or just a variation? Recently I was contacted by two prominent members of the Joe community to discuss the validity of Version E. I've bought over 50 Steel brigade figures and I will admit that Version E was always a little bit of a mystery to me. This figure was supposedly available during a high run of Steel Brigade orders yet it seems to be one that shows up just as rarely as Version A. After discussing Version E at great lengths and weighing the pros and cons, we have determined that Version E is a fake and not a real version. There was just too much information to support this theory. Bagged versions of E do exist however, there are many factors that point to these being fake. There is also no reason to go back to using the Scrap Iron legs when the build for Version D produced the most figures. These are just a few of many reasons that made us come to the conclusion of eliminating Version E. If you do not agree, you are entitled to that opinion but this site does not support Version E as a legitimate part of the Steel Brigade history.
If you want some further insight I recommend reaching out to Bobby directly.
I also added his info about 1a vs GH
Since I have been saying this for about 20+yrs and it was great to finally hear someone else coming to the same conclusion.
VERSION A vs GOLD HEAD
POSTED 1/8/19
This won't be as impactful as Hulk Hogan vs The Ultimate Warrior but here is the first Steel Brigade vs Steel Brigade battle. I've purchased over 50 Steel Brigade figures and to this day I only have one Version A but 3 Gold Heads. I search Steel Brigade sales more than one should but I've always found it interesting that the Gold Head is more common than you would think yet it fetches the highest price tag. Yes, ebay's prices are very inflated but this is an instance where the gap is much bigger than it should be. I don't remember what exactly I've paid for my Gold Heads but I can tell you that I have not paid more than $300 for a single figure without the patch or file card. Currently there seems to be an average Gold Head listing of $550. Whats good is that people are not actually paying these prices. Recently, a Version A popped up complete and was only around $400. This is the first Version A I've seen on ebay in a very long time. I don't know when people started to think that Gold Head was the rarest of all the versions but it seems to be out of control now. Just by looking at the tracker you can see that Version A is by far the rarest of all of the versions available. Don't get me wrong, Gold Head is a great version but Version A started it all and it should be at the top of the Steel Brigade mountain.
