I also think there must have been variants, because as you can see here, this Sandman is fine. Maybe you have the trilogy re-release?

Hasbro Marvel Legends Sandman Series review

It's the same figure, crappy leg joints and all. It's not a part of the trilogy re-release as the figure came from the SM3 Sandman BAF. They were a Walmart Exclusive wave if memory serves me...I don't remember exactly, however I do know that I remember grabbing them the night they hit the shelf. I'm not sure what you mean by trilogy re-release btw, and if you were talking about the movies or figures themselves, because outside of that specific wave, I don't remember there ever being one. I know the movies have been re-released several times, and supposedly, there is supposed to be new Blu-Ray set coming soon featuring a new cut of Spider-Man 3 featuring a lot of the stuff that was removed from the final film (such as the symbiote mirror sequence that was featured in the original leaked trailer...) Hopefully some of the dancing and crying will be removed as well with the new additions.

The only variants that were in that wave that I know of came in the form of Venom. There was a Venom whose spider and web pattern was completely outlined in silver paint, and a Venom that had a darker, grey tone. Also, the silver webbed Venom had no paint apps on the inside of his mouth other than teeth and tongue, while the grey version had the mouth and gums actually painted in fleshy pink. The grey version was later re-released as part of the Hasbro Spider-Man classics line without the BAF piece, but instead with the rubbery, symbiote webbing pieces that originally came out with the five inch movie line Venom.
