Too bad Hasbro never confirms these one way or the other by marking the packaging somehow. Most of the current designations are from mutual consensus, rather than official word from Hasbro. Theoretically, you could say that either one is the variant of the other for any of the MU variants so far, since release order isn't always definitive.

I am curious now to see if the whole main pic/small pic theory holds true for all MU figures that have had paint/mold variants.

But I kind of like the idea of the metal version being the regular release, since the first version of Creel was the partially metal one. Still, owning all three would give one the ability to mimic his power in toy form...well at least if he absorbed something metal anyway.
