Wookie Warrior color variant (merged)

**Hellboy** · 05-10-2005

Seems there are two versions of the Wookie Warrior #43 out there. I found a few last week and all of them were a light tan color but the Wookies I saw today were a much darker chocolate brown color.

Pretty cool that they're giving us color variants on this army builder but having heard nothing of this until seeing it today I'm wondering if the new color is an actual running change or is it Hasbro's intention to give us different colors to choose from. If it is a running change then the Tan colored Wookie that only showed up for about a week or so might end up being pretty rare. I'll try and post a picture tomorrow when I have more time since I have both if anyone is interested in seeing the difference, its pretty significant.

wonder if they're actual variants or just productions errors? either way, you should post some pics of them.

I'd say its definitely a variation and not a production error. Here is the picture.

I thought they looked different. I got one about two weeks ago onm lay-away and saw two more today. Looked different, because it was the blonder one. Thought I was insane(I am), but not on this one.

Saw news about this variation posted on another site also.

I'm glad that there's another version -- not just because I wasn't wild for the "blonde" one -- but because it makes sense to have more than one version.

Wonder if we'll see even more Wookie variants.

Thats not a bad variant IMO, plus given how the wookie comes with several weapons already it wont be difficult to make them all look a little different from each other. I think this Wookie Warrior is probably one of my favorite figures from the ROTS line, probably because he comes with the Wookie Water Blaster!

I found Blondie tonight, same date code as what Hellboy had for it.

Yeah, but the figure can only hold the blaster upside-down in relation to the Super Soaker version. I'm not totally sure which version is correct though, and he holds it really nicely in his left hand when it's upside-down like that. I like the figure because he's a wookiee who isn't all buffed up like the preview fig and Tarfful, but he has the same crummy knee articulation as Tarfful and the thumb-held crossbow (though this is in better colors than Tarf's), and #43's bandolier is thick plastic and bright orange, reminds me of a He-Man accessory.

Also, I'm not down with all these Wookiee figs having the "roaring" face, but at least it makes some sense here I suppose; I wish his head was softer plastic though, the ball-jointed neck is pretty much useless. His action gimmick is kinda annoying but doesn't get in the way too bad, though his shoulers don't look so nice for it. All in all, he's pretty cool, but probably not my favorite in the line.

(Sorry, nobody's talking about this fig in the ROTS section and I just found him tonight.

I hope to get the vanilla one because it wold be nice to have a colour variation in the Wookiee ranks. If I find a chocolate one afterwards... that's fine, too.
