Just in case someone didn't get their figures left, I thought I would leave the name out of the title ....
... so I was just wondering if anyone noticed a variation on the FSS 3.0 Repeater figure. I ordered several subscriptions, and I noticed that the camo pattern seems to be lighter on some and darker on others. Also, some figures seem to have missing camo patches on at least one of the arms. I don't know if this is just a point mask error. Has anyone else noticed this? I was only planning on keeping one (which I opened), but I might keep the second (variant?). I think I would have to open it and take side-by-side pictures to illustrate the point. |

PB, it's not so much a variant as it is just figures that were more than likely at the end of a paint run. As for the paint mask error pieces, you may have a collector or two out there that collect items such as that, but I don't see demand being all too high as it's doubtful (sadly) that your piece was the only one impacted by the error.

I wouldnt call this a variant- 25th Stalker in Yellow camo was a variant...anything that happens with this wave is just cheaper quality product being pushed through the factory....that being said- I love my figures!

Alyosha received his Psyche-Out with no paint on his bangs... FSS 1 most people got their Sure Fire without a painted sleeve as seen in this picture... http://www.yojoe.com/images/resize/w...3729/41624.jpg

You could call it a variant if the factory purposely made a running change to the paint masks and you could prove a distinct difference among a group of our figures having the missing camo app versus having it.
Otherwise its a factory error and with the nonexistent QC that's the most likely scenario. |
