It looks like the newer box has a battle damaged deco. You can see what appears to be black blaster burns on the torso.
It's the same as the first release except for the battle damaged paint job.
They (NECA) aren't even trying here... battle damage should be more than some paint smudges. They should sculpt in dents, scrapes, etc...
I'm just happy it's being re-released. I could care less if it was the same version as before.
there you go... NECA don't care and neither do the buyers... $$$ in their pockets. I already have two of these and even then their different. ones darker and a little shorter. nothing new.
The originals can still be found pretty cheap. If that matters to anyone.
The mouth is closed on this new one. That is the only reason I never bought one, I kid you not. It looked weird to me with the mouth open.
I'm gonna try to pick one up.
I wish these were 12"
