| The clones (ironically) - they stick out like a sore thumb since they dont have rubsigns on their chests, and other stickers instead.
Also Punch/Counterpunch. I know that's a less common one, but i had one with that sticker on it about 6 years back.
There're others i'm fairly sure i've seen - Hound, Ratbat and Frenzy, Headmasters, Powermasters and the remaining Triggerbots and Triggercons.
Various TF's have turned up in the normal U.S. packaing but with Korean stickers on them... i suspect these have the same origins.
The chinese sticker is always a dead giveaway... and it's pretty much impossible to remove it without damaging the cardboard... if you can't see the sticker, look to see if that spot has been covered up. | |

#14 | | Mini-Con Join Date: Jun 2005 Posts: 6 | Update: The seller is saying she is totally unaware of these MISB Ironhides being counterfeit. She says they were made in the USA for the chinese market, and she acquired them from a distributor in the UK.
I don't know what to believe anymore, but as it looks, I was promised a near C10 MISB G1 Ironhide and that's not what I received (see pics on page 1)
I hate to come off as such a cry-baby. I'm usually not this picky with G1 MISB TFs, and some wear and tear is expected. But the seller clearly states near C10 in the item description, which is why I paid the $199.
Off topic. I got the first 4 SWTF today. Just want to rip them out of the bubble and transform them. Must resist...

Toys are meant to be played with, except for near mint G1 stuff and even then...if you want to do it, do it. To look is at is grand, to transform divine. 
Many thanks to kjeevahh for the sweet sig.!!

#19 | | I like turtles. Join Date: Aug 2004 Posts: 3,932 Location: Lake County , IL Collection Count: 1,500 or so News Credits: 7 | I'm very curious to what that Ironhide's AFA serial number is. We'll be able to see how this is entered into the AFA database. I'll ask.
that still makes me laugh though ... "chinese edition" ... more like "oops, we let a few slip though and won't admit our mistake" | |
