G1 Mirage - Original vs Reproduction

Hello to all,

I previously made a series of images depicting the differences between a real and repro'ed G1 Prime. Here we go again with Mirage.


Before I start ...
This "guide" (if you can even call it that) is a work in progress based off of 1 repro'ed image (the only one we have to date).

Credit to Spirit-Of-Cybertron for the repro'ed Mirage image. Thanks to Toyarchive for the Mirage picture.

All participation is welcomed.

Keep all ethical "knockoff" discussion out of this thread. This is for educational purposes only. NO DEBATES PLEASE.

Again, the purpose to this is to educate eBayers. There are AWFUL sellers out there who claim these pieces as being real. Spirit-Of-Cybertron has never done so and is very trustworthy. (those in the eBay forum will remember the rotten POS who claimed repro'ed Primes as being real)




1. yellow splatter radius


2. grey border width


3. Wheel is chopped off


4. The small things ...


5. A typo ...


6. *NEW* Font issues ...

(in progress ... more to come)

Wow, this one seems really easy to spot. Is there a chance they will fix these errors?

With all of the known box issues with the KO'ed Prime, they never adjusted because the foam would be off.

It's possible with this one because nothing shifts but images. The bubble should remain the same. Again though, to get everything just right ... I'm sure even with a revision, we'll catch something.

This is going to be a valuable reference guide. I hope it gets stickied.

+1 for the work, e3.
