Not sure if anyone has heard about this, but apparently there is a slight variation to the Retaliation red ninja- there is another thread somewhere on here about it but I figured it'd be easier for you guys to read it here. The "variation" is more of a paint texture application.
On ninjas that came in the cases with blue Cobra Commander and blue joe troopers (I've mostly found these at TRUs), the black undershirt, black trim on the torso (NOT the external sash), and the black straps on the feet are all painted gloss black, whereas the ninjas that have shipped mostly to Targets (with black Cobra Commander and the tan joe trooper), the ninjas have a softer, more matte finish in these areas. It appears that the earlier glossier black ninjas were manufactured in the blue CC & blue JT wave, as the card date stamp is 20621: (62nd day of 2012) whereas the black CC & tan JT are carded with a 20751 date stamp (75th day of 2012). Anyway, it's a subtle little detail but the difference is very obvious when held side-to-side. Sorry, I haven't taken any pics yet but it's definitely real and interesting nonetheless. Go check out your ninjas to see which versions you have!

That reminds me of the POC wave 3 Snake Eyes figures I have. One I bought at a Walgreens kinda has flat grey knee pads (they don't shine/reflect light) while all my others (and all the others I ever came across) have that semi-glossy grey paint on the knee pads that shines and reflects the light. I think it's more of a factory result than an actual variant. It's very subtle.
Ah shit, it's late! I gotta go to bed.

Target on BHR in Warwick had Retaliation figures. There was 1 Red ninja left (still hanging) and a few each of SS, Duke, SE, CC (both), Cobra trooper, Roadblock, and Zartan.

got my cases in today. The expanded Universe figures are by far the best in the line,...and may be the best on the market overall. However, my case did not have the Navy Imperial Officer like it should have. If anyone sees one,..its the only fig. I need.
