they made 2 different inserts, no variation of figures, nothing is different. just 2 different packaging styles. They also did that with the cobra 5 pack. The value difference is, if you paid $30 for them at k-mart or TRU you can get them for $8 at ROSS, Marshals, or TJ Max lol.

I think the figure position change was a difference in the very first run, and all that came after it. I got my 5 packs on the first day of sale. And after that, every pack I've come across has the figs in a different spot. My 5 pack is the one with SE in the bottom middle position, and the others standing.
Other random things I've seen: - 5 packs that did not have any "GIJOE" markings along the sides. They were just plain blue. - The blue color itself has also been different from time to time, something I only noticed when they had multiples side by side to see the difference. Sometimes darker or lighter. - And a few I've seen didnt have the hole cut out to push the music box. I'm thinking these are all running production changes, differences in production supplies, mistakes, and so on. No real variants.

ok cool thanks for the info guys .. i picked up the 5 pack off ebay with the road block and gung ho laying down..
came across an ebay auction where the seller had them all standing and listed as snake eyes variant crotch and gung ho variant i thought it didnt make sense. i was at a kmart this past weekend and they had one 25th joe 5 pack and it was the one with all of them standing so i took a close look and noticed nothing different aside from the way it was packaged.. if that one goes on sale at kmart (its been there since day 1) i will pick it up but thanks for the info .. now if i could only come across the cobra 5 pack

This is a legit variation and as far as I know, the only way to get fixed crotch SE in the grey color. YOJOE.COM | Snake Eyes The one I picked up when first released was diaper crotch SE and Anchor GH all figures standing up. |

commando se v1 comes in fixed crotch in Grey, Dark Blue, and Black. The newer version also has a fixed crotch gung ho in some cases.

everything is a variant now. No offense to the OP, but all threads like this have the same first line. "hey i found a cobra trooper with a crooked foot, whats the value difference for this" Everyone is trying to cash in on this "variant" nonsense. Its pretty funny.

Duke also comes with a bp hole variation. Gung Ho also has a thin crotch variation on this set. D,GH,SE and RB all have 1 or 2 peg stand variations. If you really want to get deep, Scarlett comes with and without lipstick but that is still a debate between error/running change or quality variance.
Any conscious change to the mold or production of the figure such as the bp hole, thinner crotch (thick crotches had poor seating capabilities) or 1 vs 2 peg stands are considered by the bulk of the community. Mass prduced errors do get excepted from time to time as well but Hiss Commander's right, the production quality on this line has been a little iffy so some "variants" have popped that are simply factory bs. Some people like them though... |
