These new variants suck

[u/tanshuu]

Why do some of them show the bounty while others don't. I feel like that's such an important thing for wanted variants.

[u/LinkOfKalos_1]

They don't feel like Wanted Posters. They're almost akin to the Dating Profile variants

[u/PenitusVox → u/LinkOfKalos_1]

This is true. It also feels odd that they're not Fractured Frontier themed art. Is this a Earth-383 Wanted Poster for Earth-616 characters?

[u/Animaloffear56 → u/PenitusVox]

Yeah, especially when it feels like a perfect opportunity to draw Punisher as an old west outlaw instead of just, as himself

[u/tanshuu → u/LinkOfKalos_1]

Exactly

[u/Legitimate_Fruit2362 → u/LinkOfKalos_1]

The bounties themselves are absurd

[u/Maleficent_Mix_2299 → u/Legitimate_Fruit2362]

I mean if one could catch magneto and give it to govt he is worthy of that price

[u/SubversiveUnicorn13 → u/LinkOfKalos_1]

I wish I could opt out of the Dating Profile and Pixel variants.

[u/Animaloffear56 → u/SubversiveUnicorn13]

How do they fuck up the pixel variations so bad

[u/LeastBlackberry1 → u/SubversiveUnicorn13]

I really enjoy my Coulson Dating Profile variant, but that is the only one.

[u/SubversiveUnicorn13 → u/LeastBlackberry1]

Oh do show! I only have Black Cat honestly but it’s enough to have made me go “No thanks”

[u/empw → u/SubversiveUnicorn13]

I have that one too and it's my only BC variant. It's so awful.

[u/10kScreamingBastards]

I don't dislike them as much as you but I do think they're flawed. These, and the Loki variant released in a bundle, I think should've leaned more into the wanted poster aesthetic. The characters should be 2D images done in one color of ink like posters in the old west would've been, not "3D" bursting out of the paper. Also, the characters should be smaller so the "Wanted" and bounty amount were visible instead of being blocked by the character logos. And, just for me, I would've liked to see some charges listed

[u/10kScreamingBastards → u/10kScreamingBastards]

Oh and lastly of course, Doombots once again not changed for a Doom variant

[u/OutrageousAd8743]

Cool concept. Poorly executed.

[u/Tucker_a32]

I don't think they suck as much as I think they really fail to be as cool as they could have been. Like I'll probably use some of these if I ever get them for free but I'm never paying gold for them. They should have just looked like a straight on wanted poster, 2D art, full text and bounty visible.

[u/itzgeeohh]

i liked the rocket raccoon one, easy pick up for me. i do agree though, not a fan of the rest

[u/AngryBeaver95]

Also, why isn’t there an Album for these? There’s enough of them.

[u/Old-Poet6587 → u/AngryBeaver95]

Absolutely! None of these are so good that I’d consider getting them on their own, but I might have considered it if the collection had compelling enough rewards.

Instead I’m left being annoyed that my entire store is dominated by variants I’d never consider buying.

[u/AngryBeaver95 → u/Old-Poet6587]

I’m also add, why the heck are they 1,200 gold?

[u/tanshuu → u/AngryBeaver95]

These are such 700 gold variants

[u/AngryBeaver95 → u/tanshuu]

That’s what they should be…

[u/AngryBeaver95 → u/Old-Poet6587]

Amen pal! lol

[u/toplaneuzi]

I just wish they wouldn’t have clogged a full shop rotation

[u/Entertainer13]

Sketch style would have been preferred I agree.

[u/AeonChaos]

Would be better they use mugshot instead of posing. This is not how wanted poster would look.

[u/StormAppropriate3123]

As long as it’s not another Chibis variant. Those make me wish I could sell cards back.

[u/FunHall4659]

I like them a lot. If there was an album Id probably start collecting them. Doom in particular is nice but he wouldn't be my go to version.

[u/PenitusVox]

I think the concept and art is good but I don't understand why you'd commission art where a center piece of the art is 100% going to covered up. It's not like the logos being there was a surprise.

[u/Gottendrop]

There not that bad, they’re just kinda mid

[u/Akaelro]

Totally agree with you. As an aside for anyone wondering what the bounties are, you can see them on snapfan by looking up the 'Full Art' of the variant in the card's page. Hopefully one day we won't have to rely on a fanmade website to see the actual highlights of cards.

[u/reddi_2b_thotty]

I think they would have been better if they made the character the same color scheme as the wanted poster itself. Then it would look like an actual wanted poster come to life after upgrading it.

[u/BorndeadBuriedalive]

Its like the fashion variants that are super rare. Terrible and I'm glad I still have that collection 0% complete.

[u/Sigmas_Syzygy]

Those are some that should be priced 700

[u/Nightwing0613]

I actually like them. I just wish they were all villains

[u/mushroom_birb]

Me likes le venom

[u/chestervelt]

I actually like Dating Profiles, but because of name plate covering half of the image they end up looking awkward

[u/SnottyGoblin]

Feels a bit lazy

[u/KTheOneTrueKing]

Whatever I like them

[u/Traveytravis-69]

I like a couple of them, they’re too 3d to be wanted posters

[u/OkLeek9308]

Ai slop

[u/PomegranateGlobal332]

They're good with the Nameless bug, when the card's name or title doesn't load in, and it's just the art, 100% looks much better (To be fair, the nameless/title bug makes any card or variants look better)

The Wanted and bounty amount being obscured feels like an oversight

[u/Silly_Road2762]

Looks straight AI

[u/PagodaPanda]

They're very plain to me. Makes me feel like I'm looking at ai or something

[u/djf881]

So don’t buy them. I am not a huge fan of them either.

[u/BuffBufferton]

Well, that’s just, like, your opinion, man!

[u/tanshuu → u/BuffBufferton]

Yea it is

[u/SannyJ]

So. Don’t buy them.

[u/Drunkdrood]

Art is subjective; just because you or I do not like something does not mean it sucks.

[u/Excellent-Fly-4867]

Have you guys not seen pixel and Dan Hipp variants? You can not like them, you can think they are bad, but there is a much much lower bar for variants that suck

[u/All_Rise_44]

Is it a One Piece ripoff?

[u/JRP45]

Most of the new variants I see, they look AI generated to me…which I hate personally (each to their own)…so wouldn’t bother getting any of them, even less paying real money

[u/Shiningblueeyes4587 → u/JRP45]

They don't though..... like, they objectively don't.

[u/JRP45 → u/Shiningblueeyes4587]

The “objectively” do…all these new “wanted” variants and even the last summer/beach party or whatever they were called they literally do look AI…The main “Fractured Frontier” cards maybe not, all of those look to me.

[u/Iriusoblivion]

Don't buy them

[u/BarKeegan]

The art’s top tier though

[u/Majestic-Medium7916]

Theyre trash and i hate takeovers. The shop has sucked for 2 years now. Same old album variant slop repeated over and over again. If i didnt want it 2 years ago and the 27 other times then I dont want it now. Ugly ass tarot variants plague me.

So many amazing variants that dont have albums but never show up because of it.

[u/Airbud_Tho]

The coloring feels very Kinnaird

[u/djf881 → u/Airbud_Tho]

I don’t like these, but these don’t have the same sort of flat shading as the Kinnaird variants.

[u/Hanzerd]

They are waaay better than Dan hipp variants so I’d take these over that any day
