I was shopping today for some ROTF figs when i noticed that they had 2 different versions of Ironhide, i didn't pick him up but for those that like their boxes here are a couple of pics:. As you can see the missile in one version is in the gun and in the other it's being held by one fo those twistys from hell. No biggie just thought i point this out to the guys that collect MISB or like their unique version of different packaging. Take care guys.
Thanks, i thought more people would be interested in this but I guess there aren't that many MISB collectors here. I wonder how many there actually are here in the boards.
Kinda surprises me how few TF collectors care about variants & stuff compared to other hobbies. I'm not into variants myself but I know when I was collecting Joes for a while variants & packaging errors commanded top dollar even on the new stuff, with TFs it's almost the opposite. *shrug* weird
People did at one time until the Dreaded Armada series. I can't remember if it was rhinox or bendy prime that had like 8 packaging / deco variants in like a few months. I think that caused every variant chaser to throw in the towel and none have tried since
Movie 1 Blackout had a running change in his mold and never even heard anyone pipe up about it. I only noticed it when I got the Evac repaint. FYI (for those that care): it's in the blade spacing, originally they were all evenly spaced, later there was a deliberate gap so that you knew where to "fold" the blades down at.
After I noticed it on my Evac, I went back and checked out the other Blackouts at the store & they ALL had this change. My Blackout was from the initial wave that he was released in, it kinda adds value to me but I know that if I were to sell it nobody would give a crap.
apparently not, it does make the blades look better when you "fold" them back but throws the balance off in alt mode
