I recently received my frito lay series 2 hot dog figure. When I put him on the portal, I noticed he shows up as series 1 hot dog and I can't switch upgrade paths, yet he still has his Wow Pow! His art is series 1, his name is series 1, he can't switch paths, but he still acts like series 2! What is going on here?! Is this just something that applies to chase variants or a glitch?

Which color is it? And can you provide screenshots?

Here's some pictures. I'm not sure how big they are, so I'll provide a link. The pictures show the figure and some of the series 1 art along with the upgrade screen, which still has his wow pow. To see the rest, just look through my album, they're the only pictures I've uploaded.

I know the same thing happens with Bronze/Amazon Flameslinger. He has a Wow-Pow and he can't switch path in Swap Force, but he can in Giants. Test your Frito Lay Hot Dog in Giants.

Darn, I'm pretty sure I sold my Giants game... but it's good to know this happens to chase variants and isn't a fatal error. Thanks for the help!

Variants like this are all the same. They show up as Series 1 but are still Variants and whatever Series they're supposed to be. But I don't know about the path switch problem...

I'll have a crystal Hot Dog and I'll report back here unless someone beats me to it.

I expect him to path switch in Swap Force and I expect him to act like a Series 1 in Giants (no path switch). I think Swap Force was unique in that I think they made a coding mistake on the Amazon Flameslinger.

I know I'm 2 days late to this party, but the same thing happened with the Best Buy variant of Sprocket they made. No path switching but Wow Pow was there. That's just the way Swap Force treated chase variants of Series 2/3 characters.
