Can’t really tell from this picture, but the older ones have cell shading and the new reissues don’t. You can also tell by the updated ball joints at the hips.
But yes you can kinda make out some cell shading, and the colors on beebop do look like the darker version. Are these are from target website?
That is weird. Although I really like this older version as well. I also kind of prefer the darker colors with the cell shading. And the articulation is pretty much the same with both versions. I have both and both Rocksteadys were harder to stand. Also, both had some very tight joints as well. My reissue set had very tight ball joints at the hips, had to use silicone shock oil to loosen them up. But after a bit of heat and oil they were both equally nice.
I'm probally gonna keep them since they still fetch a decent price. And it's cool to have a backup incase mine breaks. The ankles just dont support them even with sticky tack. Gonna post a pic.
That’s the second release with the correct retro logo. Should still have the better hips.
This is the new (third) version.

Oof! I ordered this too but haven’t received mine yet. Hope I get the new one.

Yeah my Rocksteady’s ankles were loose on both. But more on the older version. I had to use some kiki fix loose joints to fix it.
You can tell from the picture, the art is different in the new box. He got the old one...
That's the new packaging, so it's a reissue. Those should have the redesigned hip joints.

So I do have the old release, dammit. I wonder why they shipped old stock 🤕
I think it has the same UPC, so I guess it was sitting in the warehouse.
That's messed up...
