    Interesting to note that the shape of the card and the plastic bubble are exactly the same as the Hasbro packaging. The printing, on the other hand...

    I cant tell what the difference is besides the con symbol? Wow, I've always looked at her TFA face as being a spin on her TM2 looks but man, she looks just like her first toy

    Some say the purple and gold are different tones, though that just may be the lighting or the camera (they don't look different to me)

    Other than the proper-color symbol, the black 'sidecars' on her thighs have a gold stripe detail the Hasbro version doesn't have (As I recall, early pics of the Hasbro version had that stripe, but the paint app was left off on the final version.)

    Id forgotten how 'Universe' Beast Wars Blackarachnia this figure is, makes me wounder why I didn't pick up the Hasbro version when I had the chance.

    Wow Takara. Wow. Somehow you managed to top Starscream and make Hasbro have the better product. That takes skill.

    Agreed on both accounts.

    And "Decepticon Trickster"? Ugh. I REALLY hope that doesn't reflect the Japanese cartoon's depiction of her.

    Also, technically, she has some new gold paint on her thighs, FWIW. Her helmet is also painted on the back.
