As well as subtle differences to size, shape and colour of the helmets. There are also subtle variations in sculpt to the torso and limbs, between each coo family. The most notable difference is the design of the belt knot around the waist of each figure. But there are also slight variations in sculpt to the v shape on the chest of the tunic. Differences in the folds of the robes can also be found. And subtle differences in the creasing on the arms, legs and boots
