- Both figures come with the standard judgmental Wilson Fisk head, but the 2020 version replaces the angry alternate head with one featuring Fisk with a black eye and facial lacerations.
- Instead of an all-white suit with black shirt and blue tie, the 2020 figure is sporting purple pants, a yellow vest, and a blue ascot, giving him much more of a retro/’90s cartoon look.
- Speaking of ’90s retro style (good lord that makes me feel old), this version of the figure will come single carded in vintage 1990s packaging.
