R.O.B. Variants

Just curious as I have one with an eye cover, and one without.

Does the eye shade provide some functionality the other one doesn't have?  Or is it just that they were bundled with different things?  Any rarity differences?

New info is appreciated!

    The eye shades were packaged with the R.O.B.'s, I believe. It's for bright TVs.

    That's an overlay you can put over the eyes.  This is more like a plastic molded piece that is non removable.

    Ah, I didn't know that. Other than this, I've never seen another variant, but I'm sure others know more.

    Did they make one with the shade built in?

    I could be wrong but i believe all ROBs came with the shades. Just not everyone put them on. And as stated above i also think it was for bright tvs.

    The shades came in a plastic baggie along with some other paperwork. It's not uncommon to find those baggies with Deluxe Sets unopened with the glasses still in them. What's more impressive is finding a loose R.O.B. with the glasses still intact.

    Yes, I have the R.O.B. with the plastic piece over the eyes...it also includes the overlay for bright TVs.  I'll try and get better pictures tonight.
