battlecat Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 So, can anyone confirm if the clear giveaway is any different than the 2008 ones? Yeah, I can. (surprise, surprise) There are subtle differences that mark the two as different runs, that and I saw the case they came in -- clearly marked with shipping labels from 2010. The two 'Mates have the same physical structure. Side-by-side, they are identical blues. The only differences I can find are: 1) The head, upper arms, and thighs on my 2008 have always been slightly lighter than the rest of the figure, which could just be a production run randomness on my 'Mate. This issue is fixed on the 2010 version. 2) There is less paint inside the knee-cap-joint on the 2010. That is, if you flex the leg, it clearly reveals white plastic. 3) The 2010 version has a 2010 copyright notice, plus the butt-number tattoo. I'm considering this a re-release. Just got a 2010 blue and while I don't have the 2008 blue to compare, I do have a green and orange -- one difference that stands out is the head on the new blue is kind of "fuzzy" in it's transparency, like a bit frosted, whereas you can see the inside peg hole in the 2008 heads very crisp and clear. The peg hole is also a different shape in the 2010. Re: the inside knee joints being clear transparent, I have that on both my 2008s and the new one.
