McFarlane recently decided to change what a chase/variant figure is. They use to be alternate jerseys, no helmets and/or other noticeable features.
This is a list from a toy preview magazine for the chase/variant figures in NFL Series 17. Every figure in all future sets will have a chase/variant.
W. Parker – Black Wrist Tape
B. Favre 5 – No Captains Patch
R. Bush – Clean
R. Moss – Red Armbands
T. Romo – Clean
J. Addai – Grass Stains
J. Russell - Clean
So hmmm - is it worth even doing this?? RED ARMBANDS - BLACK WRIST TAPE?? You've gotta be kidding me.
