Well I think we have received some insight to the whole Eels "variant" issue because there is a AFA graded figure of Arctic Snake Eyes on eBay right now and on the AFA label is says "2 on gun" so it is the grading company that is putting that on the labels and NOT the toy company calling it a variant
25TH GI JOE COBRA SNAKE-EYES AFA 90 U WHITE BORDER MOC - eBay (item 120327075580 end time Nov-30-08 17:14:39 PST) It really isn't a 'real' variant.

Exactly. The focus of the hobby should be what we enjoy. The reason we have a forum and talk about these kinds of things is that we enjoy them. There's just something totally unsatisfying about the concept of your hobby being taken over by people who only participate because it's profitable. But make no mistake, I'm not saying that is logically equivalent with AFA grading, though I'm sure the two are at least loosely related.

The new Eel variant is a number "2" inscribed on the gun. Kinda lame I think.

It is not a 'variant'. It is the number assigned to the mold that is making the gun. My vintage Eels guns also have a #1 & #2.
