Jet as a Toys R Us exclusive. This release did not include a filecard.
Ace (version 6) was also released in 2005 (and through early 2007)
as a single carded figure as a part of the Valor vs Venom line.
He was released again in 2008 as a single carded figure to specialty markets. Note that for this release, he was renamed "Capt. Ace." |

Variations:
Ace has many consistent, though small, changes with each release.
While the first release with the Tigerhawk has tight paint applications
(easily noted on the belts around the leg), the following release as
a Toys R Us bonus figure with the Thunderwing Jet has details that are
not as sharp. The earlier Valor vs Venom single card release was similar
to the Toys R Us figure but with lighter yellow details. Later Valor
vs Venom single carded Ace figures had a much lighter shade of hair,
sharp paint applications, and a shade of gray on the boot belts that
closely match the majority of the figure. Lastly, the 2008 Ace had darker
hair and flesh tones.

Body Construction:
Ace (version 6) has an entirely new body sculpt. The entire mold was used to make Ace (v7) (2004).
