Gotcha! Thanks for the info. I was running around store to store like a mad man trying to find one. Lol.

Ok question the Scarlet Spider Figure from wave 14.Which one are you saying the variant is?The one upside down w/spider-man nameplate ?Or the upside down w/scarlet spider nameplate?Plus their is the standing scarlet spider-man w/scarlet spider nameplate..Thought the scarlet nameplates were the variants?..

Nice work, Shawn! I'll add this thread to the checklist directory.

Just a few observations, though. Some of the "variants" sound more like QC issues than official releases. Also, there are only two variant versions of Electro: the matte one (which some are still saying is a QC issue) and the semi-translucent version. Both the head and arms are translucent on that second version, but the head varies in how translucent it is - sometimes appearing as solid piece compared to the arms. Again, another QC issue.

The Spider-Man nameplate version that's packed upside down is the variant. The Scarlet Spider version came out first.

Also, the character's name is actually Scarlet Spider. The Spider-Man nameplate is a nod to the short time during the Clone Saga storyline that Ben Reilly was thought to be the real Spider-Man.

Has anyone confirmed that the straight-legs Blade really exists?

It's possible the stock photo is just wrong and that packaging was never used...

Some of them are running changes. I'll edit it so that we know which are which.

Hey Wolvie I noticed on your pdf that you have listed 3 Captain Marvel's. Do you have pics of all 3? I have the 2 listed here and have never seen the one with reversed art/black shield.

quinten182 · 01-25-2012, 10:07 AM

Will someone verify the variant in the Tony Stark vs Iron Man name plate? I have both and desperately want to open the non-variant.. whichever one it is.. as I only keep variants in package.

quinten182 · 01-25-2012, 10:11 AM

Also, Cable w/o Hope was a running change no?

Exodus · 01-25-2012, 10:41 AM

I'm so glad I'm not a full completionist :P

I know what you mean dude. At first i was trying to get all of the figures and after about a year I realized that I didn't have the space and money got really tight so I sold most of them. I still have Blade though.

Ok thx funny thing is since he came out I only saw 2 of the scarlet spider nameplates in retail and tons of the spider-man nameplate.

any pics of these two variants?

vampireheart · 01-25-2012, 12:25 PM

The cap on the far left is the original release, the middle cap and thor are the paint variants/running change from Family Dollar

My site is like 90%+ up to date with MOC pics and more.
You'll find the pics here:
Series 3 Wave 12
I'll update the group shot when I get my 1st edition in.
Here's an example of Doc Samson

I these were pretty evenly packed. I've seen both in stores. Open whichever you want. I don't think one goes for more than the other

Someone on MN "remembers" they're blade being that version before opening it. I can neither confirm nor deny that though
