Going through my parts bin the other day, I found the Arctic Snake Eyes that came with Kwinn and Scarlett a few years back.
I noticed his gun, then dug up 25th Mainframe...and there ya go. The only thing you can see in the pics is that the grip on the black one (SE's) is a bit longer. Which struck me as odd, because examining them--aside from color, they are identical, why would they change the mold just for the grip? Anyway sorry about the pics, had to use my phone. |

That gun first appeared as a light gray accessory with the ARAH Dial-Tone in 1986. It is weird that they would suddenly change the pistol grip though (and just the pistol grip), since AFAIK, they haven't done it for any other ARAH weapons that were reproduced/re-cast for the 25th/ME line.

I agree, I can't understand why they would switch just the grip.

I think it's because the "kung-fu" grip is different with the 25th versions. I couldn't tell you off-hand how, but I'm thinking that the older figures were more rounded.
