Which Animated Arcee to open?

I have both US versions of Arcee. The "matte" finish and the "metallic" finish. I want to open one but want to keep the one that is more rarer (wow that just doesnt sound right) in the package. Not sure even if one is but any help is appreciated.

Well think I may have found my answer on tfwiki.
It says this:
Arcee was subject to a running change. Original shipments had Arcee in a glossy deep magenta color plastic, whereas later shipments switched her plastic to a matte medium dark pink. The softer matte plastic means that one can now force her lower right leg into position over the tab. At least some later shipped figures had a remolded tab that further corrected the design flaw.
So is it safe to say open the matte and leave glossy sealed?

Thanks kirbenvost!
Yeah, I've definitely got the matte version, then. I haven't opened mine yet, and didn't know about the change, so when I read that the gloss version may have a design flaw, I was getting a little nervous, lol.
