What all variants have been made so far from Mattel? And what are the differences in each variant and original?

Elite 4 Morrison with a darker coat.
Basic 2 Rey with lighter blue pants.
Those are the only ones I've heard of so far, might be more.

I was told a little story by a K Mart employee today,
I was looking for Elite Big Show... again! So I check out the figures and I see John Morrison Elite but no coat. Some little turd (or big turd) must have opened it and took the coat. No big deal, as I don't want Morrison. Keep looking and I finally see Big Show but it's at the back. So I get it out and... no blue singlet! This time I was bloody annoyed to say the least. So I look down the next aisle to see if I could find somebody who worked there and let them know and to check for another. I got the rudest woman (about 50 years old) who must have ever worked for K Mart and yells at me "It comes like that!" I politely say "No it doesn't" and show her the back of the box. She says "It does" and this went on for a couple of minutes. I stress that the side of the box is open and the clear plastic tags are missing but she tells me the don't come with plastic tags to hold them in and I try to show her and she walks off. Comes back and says there is more out the back without the singlet and I can have this "wrong" one in the blue singlet. I said thanks, grab Big Show and walk off.
Yes, this did happen! I was trying to give them a heads up but the way she acted was like she did something wrong which was really strange. Who cares, I got Big Show!

So I guess the entire Elite Series 4 are variants? Haha But forreal, that is messed up! How could they come without the accesories?? |

I recall seeing a Basics 2 Jack Swagger with and without wrist tape. Could have been a manufacturing error though. And also the Basics 4 HBK has a darker and lighter beard version.

There is also Basic 3 Jericho with the newer smirking scan and some with the original basic scan. Which some might classify as an error but the head is completely different so id say it a variant and not an error like the drew mcintyre with no tights design on the sides.

The only actual variant so far that we know of is elite Jericho (blue and purple).
There has been some minor variance in other figures, but those all seem to have been a running change in production...
Basic 2 Mysterio came in lighter blue attire, then later deliveries it was darker blue.
Basic 4 Michaels with orange beard later moved to having a darker beard.
Later Elite 4 Morrisons have a darker coat.

(I believe thats correct) |

Well when i saw elite 5 in store the other day, i swear i saw Swagger wearing his singlet in the package rather than sitting in the upper right corner. So a packaging variant.

Yeah, the MOC pictures on Mattel's facebook had the singlet on him too. Did you notice whether Kozlov has extra detail on his robe than the Ringside version has? |
