I have heard that the CYBER-VIOLATOR pictured on the back of the Series 3 cards was actually the repaint. Why didnt they picture the original version?
This was a REALLY prevalent question early in the Lists history. I answer it using the END CAP sections in the SPAWN COMIC BOOKS Issues #39 and 40. These books may be available at your local Comic Book Retailer. I quote: The cybernetic parts were made to come out when we either did repaints on this line or another small run of that character. When it came down to shooting the photos for the packaging, the photographer only had this version of the Violator, so we thought we would provide a sneak peak of what the toy would eventually look like. It is also interesting to note that the final CYBER-VIOLATOR changed from the version used in the photo. A steel jaw was added to replace the original fleshy-toothed version.
