As I figured, thanks guys was just trying to clarify that a few pages back but wasnt getting through to some people. Again if I am wrong though I would appreciate a correction :)

I see what you guys are saying....But to me when a figure is the the same mold....In my eyes its a Variant...It's a variation of the original...This is the way I see it...I really can care less about numbers on the card...But that's just me...

green and grey hulk are the same aswell just different number, and i think only green hulk has the open hand and the other has double fist.

Oh I see what you mean, i get your point of view :)

aswell as spiderman? lol theres a couple like that.

We can go back and forth on this all day,But it's a pretty gray area to me!!!:D

well, IMO there are waaaay too many figures that use the same molds to call them variants but I see what you guys are saying.

If you go by the numbers,then yes your correct....But this is just my point of view....:D

And we all know the smartest ppl don't work for Hasblo LOL!!!

but then would you consider all spidermans variants or do you consider justthe mold a variant? Like

To you these are all variants, is that what you mean??

I know..But when they use the same molds for new characters,there is some kind of re-tooling....In the case of Flame on torch,it's the same figure all togather.....

Im just trying to understand the definition of a variant/running change as understood by the collector community, the last thing I want is to mislead someone if I claim somethings a variant and its not. Thank you all for clearing this up though, I appreciate it.

I would consider them all variants.....repainted variants I guess....

Like I said Grey area..lol!!

Good night all you MU whores out there....I need to get some sleep before work...Laters..

Well, since the word variant means different from the something of the same general kind, you could say that yes, each spidey is a dif variation. I would be willing to say that.

+ 1 for you...LOL ok i'm really going....!!

lol Im going with Wolvierine2281s definition that is what I assumed it was in the first place, but "variants" comments got thrown around and threw me off my game lol

Good night WDP catch ya tomorrow

ya iam looking for the light blue suit with black boots i know there's a name for the suit i think???

I don't know whether there's an actual name for it or not but it's the very first wave 1 release. I've seen the darker ones referred to as the Negative Zone costumes

Ive heard them called the John Byrne costumes probably because of his run
