I get people not liking varainats, feeling this new one makes the older one less desirable, or feeling cheated by the newer one not offering the extra head and arm, but I think ss took good steps to ensure both versions are different enough so that those with the original you have something to still be proud and the newer owners you still get a chance to own.
Just comparing...
Original
- comes with extras: helmeted head and sword
- environment base
- scythe handle rounded at top
- scythe blade where it connects to the handle shaped different
- exposed left arm with outward grip
- brighter chest plate armor and accents (could be lighting) with rusted spots
- armor over the skirt is rounded
Newer Variant
- no extras, in fairness it keeps the original unique
- pedestal base
- scythe handle rounded towards bottom
- scythe blade where it connects to the handle shaped different
- armored left arm with inward grip (to accommodate the change of scythe handle)
- more rusted or darker chest plate armor
- armor over the skirt comes to a crease in the middle and is more pointed
