2012 Shredder Variant

[zaktheneutrino]

So I was looking through eBay's completed listings and stumbled across this Shredder figure http://www.ebay.com/itm/2012-Nickelodeon-Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-Shredder-Variant-Error-Black-Armor-/320985588182?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item4abc3b61d6&nma=true&si=S2dH0OwGLcvCOiG5CFlni3c96tc%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557


Has anyone else noticed a Shredder black armored variant? Is this simply a mistake/error? I apologize if this has already been discussed. I just found it to be interesting.

I'm pretty sure the guy that sold that Shredder sells a lot of custom figures.

I remember when this was posted on the forum a few weeks back. As cool as it looks, I think the general consensus was that it was a strong possibility we were looking at a custom that was repackaged.

I agree. We would see more than 1 floating around if it was a factory variant.

Yeah that makes sense

[LincolnHawk]

why do people continue to want these items, and if you look at the auction....44.00 bucks right now

just makes you shake your head at some people

Custom or not, the Shredder is indeed black underneath the silver.

The one I received from Playmates has the silver flecked off across his chest revealing the black base paint.
