The Adventurers minifigs has different names around the World.
See http://www.geocities.com/EnchantedForest/Cottage/5900/WhoIsWho/index.html

For the two minifigs in question the following names apply:

"Scarface"         | 1998                        | 2000
========================================
International*     | Mr.Hates                 | Sam Sanister@
North America# | Baron von Barron¤ | Sam Sinister
* International = Europe+Australiasia+Japan
# North America = USA+Canada+Mexico
@Alex Gluipstra in The Netherlands
¤Sometimes misspelled Baron von Baron

"Tophat"            | 1998
======================
International*     | Slyboots
North America# | Sam Sinister

I think the explanation for the "Sam Sanister" on the
box is that the sets are produced in Europe and then
shipped to USA.

...not to mention Joe Freeman alias Johnny Thunder, Linda Lovely alias Gail Storm, and so on. Kind of odd, isn't it? Arnold (26 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.adventurers)
