Hi Guys
Does anyone know why my set has slimer in the middle of the box and the crew don’t have there hats on ??
Thanks
It was a variant of the set with their hats on.
Ah I see. So is it any rarer ??
Its exactly 50/50.
I don’t know, from my toys r us visits it seems like the hats off might be a little more rare. Who knows though. Or cares?..lol
That’s because when TRU gets them.. they typically only get 1 kind. Unless they order a large stock, it will vary by the case that they get.
On a side note, the Toys R Us in Burlington City, NJ has 6 “hats on” sets in stock.
Was in the Times Square TRU last night with my fiancee… took a picture next to a pile of boxes of the GB2 set… must’ve been at least 20 of them there.
shame Ray and Winston weren’t equipped with slime blowers as they were on the movie poster
Yeah i gotta agree with that one, why do figures from one clip of a montage scene just because its coming up to xmas and they have santa hats on???
They could’ve done the movie poster with slime blowers and included the hats anyway 
They did that so I could do this.
Merry Christmas!
I bought my son a set of these for Christmas and Ray had two left hands. Was considering taking it back but then decided that maybe this anomaly will make this figure a better collectors item some day.
Production errors aren’t generally viewed as valuable. I would get an exchange if you can.
This.
Seriously. Let the kid play with good toys. Don’t hold out hope that some ■■■■■■■ will pay top dollar for a f*cked up toy.
Plus, 2 left hands is more of a screw up than a variant. If anything, it would be worth less.
Yeah, I didn’t want him playing with a jacked up toy so I gave him my set and took his. Also talked to a couple of collectors who said these things can go either way. Some rare anomalies actually make the toy more valuable and sometimes they actually make it less valuable.Tthe consensus seems to be that only time will tell. So maybe I’ll play it safe and keep this set and go buy another set.
Ive been a toy collector for a long time. I remember the flipping out over Star Wars POTF2 packaging variants (.00! .01 .02! card serials numbers! Long saber, short saber, short saber in a long saber tray!). The fad for production errors has really gone away. Intentional variants can sometime be more or less desirable, but errors are just errors. Unless you find that one guy whose really excited about them, you wont be able to get any money for it. Email mattel if you cant get an exchange at TRU, they will probably help out.
i sold a set of egb figures a few years back. they all were on the wrong cards and kylie had the slime blower looking pack. the winning bid was $300.00. a few months later i got a hold of another one and it sold for $5.00. it all depends on what a collector wants to pay for an item.
I looked at my local TRU for the GB2 set this weekend but they didnt have them. looks like i’ll be going through tru.com for them since I have to drive 1.5 hours just to check TRU
Customers returned 2 diferent sets to my store recently due to production errors . One had a club footed Peter, seriously his left foot wasn’t all there, and the other set had a “faceless” Winston, no paint app at all.
