[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 492836, member: 7379"] :lol: I take the point, as variant collecting is certainly not for everyone (and no, it wasn't me with the raised bars! :lol: ), and personally I like to be able to see the differences between two figures if I'm going to call them variants. Having said that, each to his or her (do we actually HAVE any regular female members here?!) own, and if another collector enjoys acquiring every single COO available, then fair enough :wink: As for the metallic / iridescent hair Leia, I would class it in the same category as the purple smocked Ugnaught. Unless someone can prove otherwise, I believe I am correct in saying all Unaught smocks started life blue, but some of them have since discoloured to purple.
