Thanks guys.
Yeah, a sort of hollow victory...
Yay, new variant.
Boo, new variant = more hassle!
Still, one of the reasons we collect AF is to satisfy our collecting gene... this just means we can carry on a few stages more before we have to stop and try something else!

I'm currently struggling with sub-variants - where one type of figure has a slightly different arm to the one it should have. Don't ask, but expect a new post soon.

All of my have elongated mics.

On a side note, didn't all , & Artic Assault figures have the red helmet badges?

All the ones I've ever seen have one, or the @ least the remains of one.. it's a very delicate paint app' which is worn off very easily... have any non badged examples shown up M.O.C.?
