Is Donald Variant common?

[aurorasunshine08]

I am referring to the Donald variant from Animation 2. Of the many blind boxes I've gotten, I've gotten 3 Donald variants (2 of which I do not have anymore but that's besides the point).

My question is, is he really that easy to pull? Or am I just lucky?

He certainly is more common than the John Henry variant which I am going crazy for....

[jrogue]

I only got him once! But you're right, everyone I've seen pull a variant has pulled the Donald and never the John Henry that we need

[Deltmi]

it's hard to say how "common" variants are. Although I see the Donald variant more frequently than the John Henry. I haven't pulled any variants from A2...

[SirScott99]

Your question is kind of a "trick question" because saying that a variant is rare is kind of an oximoron because there is no such thing as a "common variant". That being said, I believe the Donald to be more common than let's say P7 Figment and probably a little more common than V2 shere khan. The A2 Donald variant is probably more along the lines of the A1 Pinocchio where it's found more often. If this comment makes any sense to anyone that would be awesome cause I think I just threw a bunch of words together 10 times but said it a different way each time, haha

I bought a case of animation 1 and there was no regular Donald but 2 variants, it was harder to find a regular Donald than a variant!

I would *think* it should be packed the same as the John Henry variant. I've pulled both one time each. I know with John Henry it took me a moment to realize he was the variant.

this is so strange to me because I usually get the JH variant instead of Donald (back when I was still BB animation 2)
but also I find JH in the trade boxes a lot just because no one knows who he is and everyone loves Donald

You're definitely making sense and I think you're right about him being found more often

This is so true... it took me a while to get regular Donald

LUCKY! Haha. What do you mean it took you a moment? Is it b/c his shirt color isn't far off from his skin color?

The day someone leaves the JH variant in the trade box and I so happen to stumble upon it is the day I die haha. I bought 2 A2 vinyls hoping and wishing for the JH variant....only to get Chicken Little and Flower which are useless to me because I have the whole set lol. I guess my luck only goes so far

I found a Donald Variant (A2) in a trade box at Hollywood Studios, and a John Henry variant in the trade box at the local Disney store!

WOAH! that is awesome!!! I wish people would trade him in at my local store!

[HawkeyeVinyl]

He must be pretty common since no one seems to want him! I was really excited to come across him in a clear trade box.

[brigannd]

This was my very first variant (fairly new to collecting)

[shelly1]

i am having a hard time tring to get a reg donald, that i need to complete my set

[mickeyfan1999]

I got a regular Donald too and I got the john Henry variant but I can not find a Donald Variant, so I guess is a luck game.
Good luck everyone!!!

[Katameran]

It is probably as common as Pinocchio from Animation 1.

I bought 5 boxes from the same case and pulled variant Donald and reg. Donald but no John Henry.
