is there a definitive way to tell the difference between the boxes or paint scheme?

 

The figure hasn't come out yet so we don't know for sure.

The 2nd release is more expensive, there might be a date stamp or something on the box to tell the difference. But no one knows exactly what if any differences there are (he doesn't come out until late September).

I thought the Hasbro version was the new one aka V2?

 

I've bought the new version. My guess is that it will have the fixes the hasbro one has. There should be ways to tell hem apart. Mainly the shin mechanism. The hasbro one has a different joint all together
