Your welcome. Now I'll have to do more research. I noticed the bottom was a little different and the Hasbro marking looked like it was removed with acid or some other chemical.
Haha, I had about 15 apc's not too long ago(I went psycho-hoarder with the apc's lol) , and ended up selling a few before I realized that the later mail aways were distinguishable from the regular release, so who know's how many were the Estrela mail away version. I only found out when I was taking a few pics with my cameras flash on, and then took a closer look, and saw the varying shades. Ever since, I've paid close attention to each apc I've come across.Thanks you for going above and beyond the call of duty, and taking those pictures! It looks as though I have another 2 variants to look for, as the canopy on yours is a more drastic color difference than either my Brazilian or mail away canopy is to the U.S. version. That means that I have both a mail away and Brazilian variant to go after should be fun :rolleyes: Thanks so much for helping me on my quest!!!!
Hey bud! I love the APC too! How in the hell could you tell that one in the middle was different from the other two from that crappy photo??! Damn, your good. I didn't even relieze it, but it is different. The canopy and wheels are the biggest difference that I see. I looked up the Brazilian one on YoJoe and the canopy does look similar. I took a bunch of pics for you. You can tell the wheels on the one in the middle are a different shade.
Hi, was just looking at your collection, and was wondering if you could confirm something for me. it appears that your middle apc is the mail away version, made in brazil. It is slightly different in color. I own about 6 standard U.S. hasbro release apcs(different slight variants), mail away apc with tan camo top like yours, green top mail away, brazilian apc, and a mexican apc. I made note of a few differences between the U.S. standard and mail away(tan top)
If you wouldn't mind, I would love for you to read my post, and let me know if the markings on your's are any different than mine? I don't know whether or not I have all the variants(except the Euro and Argentine apc's), so it would be a great help to know whether or not yours are the same as mine https://www.og13.com/forums/showthre...83-apc-variant
