two weeks ago i bought a melina at kb toys, and when i got home i noticed on the back of the box she had wrist tape, and the melina i had no wrist tape. so im thinking is this a factory error or what. has anyone else seen this?

The protos are on the back of the box, so I guess she was supposed to have wrist tape, but didn't. No variant, or error.

My Melina doesn't have the wrist tape either. The back of the box shows the prototype, which was probably changed to save $$$.

Yh, the proto was changed. But IE Boxset Melina has wrist tape and fuzzy boots.

She was suppose to have wrist tape, but didn't. Your lucky though, I went to TRU last night and they only had 1 Edge from RA29. What can you expect though, it was just Black Friday : /
anyway, it's not a variant. lol.

Not a varient, dont rely on the protos, they arent always exact. Im yet to see one with wrist tape so i highly doubt it is a varient or even in existence. It's a shame really because it really adds to the figure too.

The proto also had.....
*longer arms (RA 26 Candice arms)
*side cutouts on her legs
*silver logos on the front of her pants
And I imagine they were going to give her furry boots, too (which is why they chose to give her the pant leg mold) but everything was changed to cut costs (for what exactly? Nothing in RA 29 was that spectacular)

*side cutouts on her legs I didn'd notice the cut-outs on the proto. Are they supposed to be the colour of her flesh? or are they a darker piece of material? On the IE, the exposed flesh on the legs is more the colour of Sharmell. |

Its supposed to be skin, but yeah the IEs exposed skin is way too dark. RA 29s proto had them (and they were the right color) but the final product ended up not having them, while the IEs proto didn't have them, and the final product ended up having them (but way too dark) Jakks can't do anything right. Lol.
Or the chinese children who make them don't watch wrestling, which would explain a lot of their figure mess ups.
