Whilst I was sorting through my Micromasters to put into my collection and which to sell, I came across this oddity.

I have seen the olive green alot, but not the other green before. Was there a running change in colour? I can't seem to find any info on this.

I had one of each colour as well. I have asked the same question previously but I have forgotten the answer so I am no use to you whatsoever. :)

i'd say it's a running change. TFWiki has the dark green version & TFUinfo the olive green pictured, yet neither make note of the variations

Authentic-looking Micromasters were knocked off a lot, particularly in Europe at the time - is there anything about the forest green one that seems less Hasbroish?

Stamps are the same. Though the word "China" is illegible, but it could've been the light I was trying to see it in that caused it. Aside from that and the colour, they are identical in every way. I may have to scrutinise them further.

Same, I've never seen the dark green variety before
