ASTRO MAGNUM TRANSFORMERS SHOCKWAVE G1 MIB GUN ROBO - eBay (item 290517399741 end time Jan-29-11 07:12:04 PST) Is the item on auction a KO of Astro Magnum? Or is it the real deal?
Ah, this one. Originally created by Toyco and used by Hasbro. This is a legitimate product, but doesn't feature any labels or markings that will tell you it's made by Hasbro. This is made by Toyco and created before the purple Shockwave we all know and love was created.
The real thing says "TOYCO" on the box. This looks like a fake. Real one comes in these boxes: http://www.flickr.com/photos/28716664@N03/2884683447/ http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_W2kDUOORb...xLs/s1600/4-changeable-toyco-astro-magnum.jpg Note the "TOYCO" logo on both.
For one thing, wouldn't he be charging more for it? Also, what reason would he have for having two of the exact same quality?
