We have seen Snake Eye's wolf companion in different colors. Mostly grey, on occasion black and on very rare occasions white. So it got me thinking which is it? I tried googling it but couldn't find a clear answer. I'm 95% sure his original color is grey because I always remembered him being that color but I just wanted to be sure.
The the next question is: Is there a reason there are color variations of him? |

Yeah, he was originally grey. No reasons have ever been given as to why they make variants in different colors. As far as I know, it only drives up the prices for the collector... which is money that Hasbro never sees, so your guess is as good as mine!

There's even a brown one floating around from the TRU SE Red Ninja set.

Thanks fellas for all the input.
No thank you. I like collecting but I can't justify me paying that much money for one small toy. But let's say I had the money to throw around on something like that. I would be upset at myself because I paid $450 for a Timber that looks like the other Timbers pissed on. lol Yes, I understand that but I just wanted to know if there was a reason other than being a toy. |

This is true but I also however use the variant colors of Timber as his pups or offspring, as wolves are multicolered and known to take in strays as pups and discard them if they don't fit in later when they grow into adulthood. The Original Timber is a Greyish white wolf, off-white. My Timber wolf is dark grey with white from old age. |

Some animals change colors according to the season.

The Original Timber is a Greyish white wolf, off-white. My Timber wolf is dark grey with white from old age. I think this is the best answer. It makes the most logical sense. As we all know wolves have lots of fur on their bodies but Timber can regulate temperature by changing the color of his fur. As it gets colder he gets darker to absorb more heat and gets lighter when the weather gets hotter to absorb less. Timber is a special breed of wolf, chameleon like. |

At what if any point did the toy wolves become Dojo? Or any other of Timbers children for that matter...
