I was at Wal-Mart today and noticed that the Tank Gunners now have the center of the golden part of their helmets painted green. I'm on vacation right now so I don't have the original one to compare to see if there's any other differences, but this one was pretty easy to spot.

Thanks to forum member BobaFett for the pics!

Well, stopped by Wally World tonight and snagged the version with the blue triangle in front of his helmet.

It looks like green has been added to the back of the helmet as well.

| I picked up the all gold version quite a while ago, now I'll have to see if I can find that "updated" version. Hasbro is really pouring it on lately with these variations. . . |

I can confirm the Green on the helmet too. But......I saw these a couple months ago and just now found one w/o the Green on the helmet. Sounds like just the opposite of you guys. So for me the helmet w/o the Green was the variant? Who knows.....cool anyway.

Found the all gold version helmet, DS 92081, at TRU today. Not a bad looking figure all in all.

Based on date stamps, can we confirm that the all gold version is the early version followed by the painted triangle version? The one that I have is a pretty early date stamp. I am also guessing then that this is a running change and not a production error since there seems to be a good amount of the all gold version turning up.
