[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 498030, member: 7379"] I'm 99% sure I know the answer to this question, but as most collectors already know, every day's a school day in this hobby, so I could be wrong... A couple of years ago, I picked up two Imperial Commander figures from different eBay sellers in quick succession. By some weird quirk of fate, both have blue and red rank insignias, and one even has blue eyes. I've never seen another example of either before or since, and much as I would love them to be bona fide variants, I have always assumed they were custom painted, but I would like to know for sure. My question therefore is simply, has anyone else ever seen these 'variants' before, or do you agree with me that they are probably custom paint jobs? Thanks :-) [ATTACH type="full" alt="Old Blue Eyes - 01.jpg"]50166._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Old Blue Eyes - 02.jpg"]50167._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Old Blue Eyes - 03.jpg"]50168._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
