I only hunt variants that are not really variants. Paint and color slight variations I could care less about, but when a variant is a completely different character or costume, then I tend to go for those. I mostly do DC classics and Marvel Legends. Like when DC classics had 2 versions of robin, one was basically Jason Todd Robin and one was young Dick Grayson. The head was a different sculpt so I did not consider them variants because they were different characters. They did the similar to a lot of the DC classics like Steppenwolf, the Parademon, and Mantis. Same character, but totally different costumes and from different eras. Now What they are doing with CURRENT Marvel Legends, some are variants and some are not IMO. Like stealth Extremis Iron Man, Orange Ghost Rider and White FF Dr. Doom are variants that I don't hunt for but get if I find them in the wild. But the ML that are totally different characters like Punisher/Blade, Mystique/Moonstar and Hyperion/Sentry, I think as separate figures and NOT variants because they are new characters just using the same mold ( which is what 90% of toys are anyway).
