[QUOTE="plantainman, post: 439172, member: 4401"] There's too many 'variants' to make any standardised list IMO. You have some Kenner variants, obviously, like the R5D4 red bar and snap cape luke jedi, but outside of that you have the manufacturer variants, Ledy, PBP, Poch, glasslite, Uzay, Top toys, Meccano, Takara etc etc To make a standardised list as a collecting goal would be very hard as people favour different things. Don't get me wrong, I see the point of it, because to have goals in collecting is a good thing, but I don't see a way of creating 'a variant list' akin to first 12, last 17, all 96 that would be applicable for all people who were wanting to explore variants deeper. What I have done with my CoO variant thread (linked below in orange) is to show people some variants of the same figure so they can maybe start small by exploring their favourite character at first maybe and search for a few variants of that figure, then move on from there once they get an idea if they favour a particular toy line manufacturer or if they just want to explore a handful of their favourite figures variants. The variant game isn't a cheap one either, So I would always advise anyone looking to delve deeper into variants of standard Kenner figures to do as much research as possible BEFORE buying anything (after all, research is free), and if doubt, ask someone.
