[QUOTE="weasel, post: 492833, member: 14"] As someone who never quite saw the attraction in variants, I always thought a 'variant' was like beauty, "in the eye of the holder." I.e whatever the feck the owner wants. I'm in the camp whereby a variant has to be noticeable at a distance, large head and small head Han, cloth/Vinyl Jawa etc. but I know some variant collectors consider paint differences as legitimate variants as well as COO markings. My all time favourite quote by a variant collector on here, I don't remember who it was, was something along the lines of "this is my new (insert whatever figure name it was) variant, it has a slightly raised bar but not as raised as my raised bar...." Sorry but when you're getting to the stage where barely noticeable difference in bar heights are 'a variant' YOU NEED TO GET OUT MORE! [/QUOTE]
