    LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!! - variant or not a variant?
    So how different does a Mego need to be for you to consider it a variant?



    Most of us would consider the production change from canvas to cloth WGSH shorts a variant. What about changes to the plastic mix resulting in slightly different flesh tones for Superman's head?

    5-face Star Trek cards are clearly different from the later 6-faced version, but does the disappearance of "British Colony of" qualify the 1977b card as a variant?

    Sure AJ's plastic Rescue Squad helmet qualifies as a variant, but what about Navy AJ's white tie simply being tied around his neck or being stitched on? (Kevin )

    Personally, I have a pretty high differentiation bar to qualify as a variant. Then again, that might just be my wallet trying to stamp out the collect 'em all urges in me!
    WANTED - Solid-Boxed WGSH's, C.8 or better.
