I just bought a collection on eBay last week that had some unreal amount of BCA figures. Mostly doubles and stuff, but crazy nonetheless. I'll post pictures soon. I've never had a collection with 3 BCA Superstars Series 2 Ultimate Warriors.
7 year old me would have crapped myself.

Maybe it's because when I was a kid my Warrior had a broken arm and I always wanted a new one, but I could never get enough Series 2 Warrior figures.
I think I had, like, 3 or 4 MOC at one point a few years ago. It's just one of those figures that always catches your eye and no matter how many you have, you're always open to one more.
Actually, I kind of feel that way about all of the earlier BCA series.

In fact, there are many times where I don't even care to look at it and leave it on the proverbial back burner until I'm ready to return to it. Lately it feels like it's happening more and more, hence why I never update my blog or have anything new to share here. I'll always come back to it, but I can't even remember the last time I sought out any good deals on eBay. I used to do that almost every day.

Did I just stumble upon a BCA Series 2 Warrior Variant?? I've never seen a variant Warrior before. Warrior was not only one of my favorite wrestlers as a kid, this Warrior was one of my favorite figures.

What does the rest of the figure look like? Are any of the other Warrior logos in all white (besides the boots)?
Also, does it appear like it could have been customized (painted over, had the paint removed, etc.)?
I would have to see more than just one case of it before I'd consider it a true variant rather than a custom or factory error figure.
I don't think I've ever seen one like this, but I would most likely side with it being a factory error of some sort.

Everything else about it is the same. Definitely not a custom. I'll take more pictures here soon, I just thought it was interesting... All these years and I found a variant, or probably a factory error.

honestly looks like they just missed both paint apps on the butt when it was being manufactured. Notice the black outline is also missing. Not sure how an error like that would happen, but stranger paint apps have gone missing, like Akeem's beard in the Hasbro line

Now I do know that there was a variation or factory error involving the facepaint. I've seen this one on some of mine and my brothers figures. Our parents ordered all of series 2 for each of us out of some catalog, and then we also got a few extras for Christmas that year. Warrior was one of them that we got extra, so we opened one and each kept one in package, and I remember the facepaint being slightly different. It was subtle, but the colors in the facepaint seemed to be darker shades on the 2nd Warriors we got. I would probably considered it a factory error or maybe just a slight change in how they painted it later in the run, more than an actual variant.

I got 3 warriors in that recent collection. The factory error figure has the same facepaint as the normal figure. The figure with the odd facepaint has the correct logo on back

The figure with the odd facepaint has the correct logo on back Wow, I've never seen one with the facepaint like that one in the middle. Both of mine are similar to the first one, just the multicolor spots in ones facepaint seems a bit brighter while the other one is darkened out. But come to think of it, I think the one with the darker facepaint, I think his whole face is painted differently. The skin tone on it is a redder color, so its probably a factory error or since my brother and I both got one, maybe that run of them had an error to it. I'd try to get a picture put up, but my loose one is here at my house and my MOC one is boxed up somewhere in my parents basement.

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't rule out a variant in either case. I guess I've been conditioned to believe that a variant only exists in quantities of hundreds and/or thousands and not just a handful of figures.
It doesn't add any particular value except for the hardcore collectors, and even then it would go over most people's heads. I would LOVE to see either of these show up on a MOC figure.
