Reissue of Hughie #979? Don't Know If It's Legit Or Not

Name: The Boys Hughie #979

UPC: On the bottom it reads TTC241010

There seems to be two releases for this Funko Pop. The original in 2020 and then they reissued it in 2024.

The original has the MJL201216 sticker at the bottom of the box and shows 2020. The other one has 2024 at the bottom of the box. You can see the details of each in the listings shown below on Ebay.

This is the original

The possible reissue?

The very early original ones had The Boys in very dark red text and it’s normally solid black on the rest of the banner. Where the reissued one normally has a lighter colored text almost an orange color and you can see words next to the The Boys. There’s also cases where I see that the original has slightly faded coloring as well and weird oddities same for the newer ones. I originally thought that the reissue was a fake as there’s no listing anywhere that is showing there was a reissue for this pop. I even reached out to Funko and they just mentioned the one from 2020 and they can’t confirm anything about the other.

I agree can’t find anything about it. Seeing how the initial release was in 2020 during COVID it could have had a small released and then rereleased 2024 with more inventory. I’ve seen other items that were delayed during covid with the same issue.

With the item not being vaulted yet, is it possible that it was just restocked again with a different number?
