Slash variations question

BubbaShelby · 10-19-2012, 01:30 PM

The only TMNT toy I ever bought during their initial run was Slash. My original had a black belt and darker colored belly. I somehow lost/misplaced that turtle, but have since reacquired a Slash with lighter yellow belly and purple/hot pink/whatever you call that color belt with red 's'. You can see my current Slash here: http://toyriffic.blogspot.com/2012/0...-and-burn.html

I've learned a bit about the belt variations and belly color variations, but I am curious how many variations of the original Slash there are, and if there are theories as to why they went so far as to re-color the belts (and 'S' on the buckle.) Not many (any?) other TMNT figures have belt color variations, right?

Are there any theories or concrete evidence as to the reasons behind the Slash variations? Was a certain variation an early release? Which variations are hardest to come by?

Thanks!
