I have noticed more frequently lately that Mattel is making running changes in several of their products. Either in the product itself or the way it's packaged. The most obvious to me are in E20. Both Cody & Christian have had changes made in the figure's after release. I picked up Cody the other day & noticed he is wearing the small kneepads. I know I have seen on here where people have purchased him w/ large knee sleeves on as well. I am also convinced that the glasses "variant" of Christian is not a variant @ all, but a change in the figure that was made after the 1st wave. I have seen Christian in several threads & in a few stores & have never seen the version w/ the painted glasses after the initial release of the figure. Let me know if anybody else has seen it please. Or the Cody w/ knee sleeves for that matter. Also any other changes that have been spotted.
P.S. the other day I saw an E20 Cena that was wearing the same style shorts as the current BoPPV fig. Forgot to take a pic, but I checked the package because I thought it was a re-pack ( a stupid one to be sure) & all the tape was right. I don't think it was a re-pack, and if it was it was the best one I have ever seen. And the stupidest.

No idea about Cody, but Matty did say that only the very first few Christians had the yellow painted glasses, and that the change to the transparent plastic was made early on. So yeah, not a variant, you're correct in thinking it's a design change.

They both are running changes in the lines rather than variants. I believe Mattel confirmed this no?

I wish I had the translucent Christian. All the ones I've seen in the UK have the painted glasses.  |

I would actually buy an Elite 20 John Cena if they did in fact do a running change and give him the proper shorts mold instead of the incorrect cargo pocket shorts that the figure was originally given.

I have seen Christian in several threads & in a few stores & have never seen the version w/ the painted glasses after the initial release of the figure. Let me know if anybody else has seen it please... I got a solid lens Christian from RSC's first shipment and when E20 first hit TRU. Since then I've seen all clear lenses. |

Mattel already confirmed Christian was a running change a couple weeks ago. And I think they said the same about Cody last week. wait there's an E20 Cody Rhodes without the leg sleeves? Yes he has the smaller pads like the b27. (I wish they would fix the scale of his arms and thighs) I picked one up today because I am using the other e20 Cody I had for my Dynamite Kid. (well his upper body I now need another BoPPV Sin Cara for the legs) |

Seee I got a Solid Lens one from RSC too but I still haven't seen any of the see thru lens ones anywhere. Id honestly buy a whole nother Christian for those sweet shades. |

I had heard about the change with Christian, but I hadn't heard anything about the change to Rhodes' knee pads. That's great to see. I'll definitely pick up one with the smaller knee pads if I see it anywhere.

(well his upper body I now need another BoPPV Sin Cara for the legs) I feel the arms on Cody are pretty good. His arms have gotten a LOT bigger over the years. He's not the scrawny lanky kid from his rookie days.  I also found Elite 20 Cody today with the small knee pads,....all the Cena's were the cargo pockets shorts mold though. |
