May I ask what the difference is on this 'Inside with ribs' torsos compared
to the same torsos that are 10 years old?
|
The original torsos first appeared in 1994, so those are ~23 years old. The torsos
back then had short ribs inside the torso (like a jumper with bottom stud holder)
instead of the long ribs that appeared around 1998 and continue into today. Therefore,
there would be no difference between a modern torso and one 10 years ago, but
there would be a difference between a modern torso and the original version of
this torso. I believe this helps to set up a nice precedent to get more modern
torsos with classic prints into the catalog, so that vintage minifigs and modern
minifigs both have the proper torso mold for the time period they were released.
Cheers,
Randy

And here is a nice place to read up about those changes in the torso and more.

I was surprised to see these torso variations make in into the catalog. Before
these are added to inventories, a close look needs to be taken at the complexities
of the early torso, meaning that there are both no ribs and short ribs, and 3
different kinds of hands, all in the space of the earliest few years (1978-1983).
This is a far cry from the minifig head situation, which has three distinct eras,
each of which is large enough to make a complete transition from one type to
the other. And the head is of singular importance in Lego, and IMO is worthy
of special treatment.
