Red Shadow Variant
Posted: 12 Mar 2009 09:41
I was having a bit of a tally up of enemy figures last night,when i noticed a shadow that i'd purchased recently was different to all the rest.
Firstly the black lines that go up either side of the chest finish below the shoulders on all my regular ones therfore leaving a gap of red between the black on the shoulders and these lines.
On this different one however there is no gap,the lines go all the way up.
Seconly the hands seem slightly different,on this variant one the thumb on the right hand is basically touching the figures but on the others there is a bigger gap for holding weapon/ammo box.
At first i was worried i had been ripped off and bought some kind of repro,but having looked in the toy archive here i have noticed that it appears the french released shadows are different to the uk ones.
The second picture of the shadows in archive is like the variant one i have.
There is also a bit of a difference with the bazooka i have,all the rest are a shinny finsh but this one is a duller.
Can anyone help explain please.
