Would love to see variant comparison pics of the supposed matte vs. glossy Red Hulk & Electro figures as I have yet to find or see such a variation on line (Ebay/forum classifieds) or in person. Finally, we have several new variations to search for as the year continues: Cable, Dr. Strange, Darkhawk & Masterworks Sentinal. I personally would really like to see an early Lizard/Dr. Curt Connors figure with interchangeable Lizard arm & head as an exclusive at Comic Con or Toy Fair when they decide to release a standard version of a full on Lizard figure in wide distribution. I also wish Hasbro would change the cardbacks of variation figs showing the pics of any additional newly released variant figs rather than the original cardback. It is disgusting on Ebay with the scalpers high prices. Why are people asing for, and more importantly, paying $300 for the mail-in Archangel fig, when you can grab it for $60?! Outright insanity IMHO. I pretty much use Ebay just to keep up when the variants start hitting the stores and then I go hunting myself. I would never pay anything higher than $14.00 for a figure variation of standard 3 3/4" size, and that is only if I could absolutely not find it on my own.

As far as any source Ive ever seen/ read there is no MJ variant nor plan for one. If the figure looks a bit different than the one you may own, I'm guessing it's just a production mold issue, no intent.

Luke Cage and Black Widow have not been released yet, but Black Ronin is available. If you look hard enough on ebay under a search for "Marvel Ronin" you should be able to spot the difference.

As far as the Red Hulk/ Electro glossy/matte variant, yeah..those are a pain in the @ss. Heres a supurb link to the Red Hulk comparison:

As far as Electro, it was trial and error, I do have both, but the only gloss is on the abs and a bit of upper body, and I do apologize that my camera probably can't pick up the difference.

And hey, bottom line is unless you get lucky spotting a variant at TRU or otherwise, you're probably going to have to dish out more than you'd like. Do sellers overprice? Absolutely. But supply and demand, my friend!
