The Beast in the dark gear is the variant to the Beast that you were mentioning in your post, and it came from the X-Men Classics line back in the Toybiz days. The Beast in the center (Astonishing Beast) was Hasbro's first attempt at a comic styled Hank, and quite frankly, is an embarrassment to carry the Marvel Legends name. Not only is it laughably small, it lacks a lot of paint deco and has some of the worst articulation of any Marvel Legends figure to date. Then of course, there's the X-3 Beast, which the mention of would make some people throw up in their mouth a little bit, but honestly, if you can get past the fact that he comes from a crappy X-Men movie, is really not a bad figure at all, as he fits decent enough into the MCU figures, bears a good likeness to Kelsey Grammar and actually has some pretty good articulation once you remove the jacket he's wearing.

That said, if you really need a Beast, I think the Classics version is the way to go. The other Classic's version is pretty good, however I don't have that one any longer as I traded him for Cat Beast. I should mention though that I'm a little biased, as I've always been a HUGE fan of Beast's cat mutation, as I loved the unique look it gave him (as opposed to the way Jim Lee used to draw him, which was essentially a blue, more furry version of Logan,) and I enjoyed the feral, animalistic twist that the mutation added to his personality.

I think he also scales in rather nicely to some of Hasbro's offerings as well...



Plus he's sturdy enough to perform the "fastball special" both single...



...and double handed!!!



(No flight stands or wires were used to keep Logan in that pose!)

Grumpy Cat....hes mutated and thowing mutants around! ( it had to be said haha )
