I'm just trying to clearly define the difference, which is difficult.

You're probably right specifically in those cases. The Maskless Captain America in the Avengers line is recent proof of that too. Half of the cases had maskless, half had the regular figure.

That proves that aspect of my theory wrong.

So how do we define a variant as a variant? Is it only when they're released simultaneously? If so, that may make the more historical 'variants' harder to categorize definitively.
