If you and I combine our forces, we can perhaps buy an original carded version just to dissect it and expose the truth behind this bootleg  :lol:

Of course, whichever of us is still alive will enherit the figure  :wink: Deal?

Deal  [sub:22es6fmk]I search, you pay!  :wink:[/sub:22es6fmk]

Hey! Those characters are written way too small in the fine print of our contract, no wonder I missed them! Ah, first outmatched and now screwed by the Fresh water Macquereau, now that's what I call a man eater  :shifty:

price alone should tell you it is a fake, are you really going to find a carded sample of 84 storm shadow for $15? this same seller has sold about 50 just in summer alone

here is the ebay pic


and a real sample

The dumbass that made the packaging screwed it up by spelling it as "Hrsbro".

Are you serious, I'll have to take a look for that! I never saw that detail..

Confirmed on my side. It says in CAPS letters: HRSBRO. U'r not alone Shark, I never saw this myself until today.

Here's a pic of the figure.. taken from that seller.. you can see that the Cobra logo is definitely not the same!

And the rivets on the shoulders aren't painted. I think I remember someone say that they're painted white on the original.

i dont belive that they are painted on the original, looking at the yojoe archive photos the original doesnt look painted.

I think the flesh tones might be a bit too dark as well.

Either way, it looks fake. Someone should tell Ebay.

Check the Hasbro emblem at the bottom of the package.  The dumbass that made the packaging screwed it up by spelling it as "Hrsbro".

Wow, I can't believe that...  I can see people buying this just to get SS accessories... I saw people asking $20 for the long sword alone.

In the next years, it will be harder and harder to collect vintage figs without getting fake accessories, fake figs, etc. that is too bad

Also - that bow is not from the original mold of the bow. The original mold is a THIN bow, while the "string" on this one is "fat".

Original is much thinner and breaks VERY easily.

For a fake it looks real good!
