Here's my "Clear" version compared to the classic (the black object to the right is the 350 lumen Streamlight flashlight I was using to see if I could make the "clear" statue look clear):
I debated on whether it was worth bumping a few year old thread, but I figured that somebody else might have a question about this in the future, so here goes.

As you can see from my post above, I had pre-ordered the clear Iceman years ago through Bowen's site, and it came in super BLUE... my description was blue toilet water, and that description still holds true (I couldn't even tell the belt was painted on the buckle on the old one). I returned it, but I never really loved the "toothpaste" non-clear version I had as a replacement.

After debating for years, I finally ordered another through the Vault... this one arrived today, and lo and behold: it's totally clear. It looks just like my clear X-Factor, in fact. At this point, I have no doubt that there were different tints to this statue, and the one I got originally was just at the super-blue end of the spectrum.

Here's a shot of my new "clear Iceman" along with the clear X-Factor, so you can compare to the "toilet blue" version above:
