Tiger Snake Find, and Variant Notice

Ha!  I found several more Tiger Snakes while romping around looking for Retaliation figures at a different Toys R Us.  They  were selling for $5 a piece and I bought them all.  I'm actually happier that I found these than anything I could have found for wave 1 of the upcoming (And delayed) film.



This is a good find for me as I like the vehicle and am particularly happy to be able to assemble the Street Vipers into a small squad now.

I think I have found a variant that's gone unnoticed.

Out of the seven Tiger Snakes I now have, five of them have a matte finish, but two others have a smoother gloss finish.  In the image above, you can see the gloss finish on the rip-launcher of the top-most box.  The other four it rests on are matte-coated.  It's not easy to tell the difference in the images.

The gloss coat also covers the main body of the vehicle itself, here is the best I could do to display that below:


You can barely tell with my camera and lighting, but the one on the top is the gloss Tiger Snake.  I find the gloss significantly nicer looking than the matte finished one below it.
