anyways, it makes no sense if this was japanese in origin and this guy was trying to fabricate all this. itd have make more sense for him to package with japanese packaging/insert/catalogue to make it look more legit. its just too random to be a con job.
If memory serves, there was an error version of Hot Rod's tech spec. I'm not sure how, but would the box having that version or not help in any way?
Well I am aware of all this as you could say I know a little in terms of "prototypes" and the process from start to finish including the packaging.What I am getting at is why do you think that they would make the Hasbro package before the Takara and both not at the same time?They were both set to be sold in both markets?I am looking at this from a view of facts and not who owns it.is ts great you guys all like MG as im sure he is a great guy but just because he owns it does not mean its real.I am not saying its fake but the feeling I get is you guys are leaning more towards real cause of MG not the toy.And KA I tend to not agree with if it came with Jap box,paperwork ect....it would make it more less beleavable.This is my view so please no haters
The movie toys came out a year or two late in Japan, because the movie came out later. The Japanese had to play catch-up in regards to their 2010 series (3rd season here in the US) so they most likely WEREN'T done at the same time.
They only came out a few months later, actually. But it's still enough of a time gap to account for Japanese packaging not yet being ready.
Well MG beat me to the correction in terms of movie release.But just as a note I usally do not say much but when I do it is in areas that I do have some knowledge.So in the future please confirm your facts as the internet is full of great tools
Probably the only way to get 100% confirmation is to find a Takara employee from the 1980's and ask him whether he remembers this toy being given out to Takara staff.
I kinda figured. I was actually hoping that you or one of the other history types had done just that.
