Wait, you've actually seen that prototype RL?

 

The second last from the Transformers Collection Series.
I especially like the illustration of Wheelie on this.

 

Wait. Seriously? That’s yours?

 

Slightly concerning how readily people still fall for a computer-generated 3D construct really ;P

Maybe I can convince people that I own this one?...

 

Haha I have to admit it’s from my realism toy illustration project I’m doing at the moment, however no 3D here! It’s all flat illustration.

It seems many people have been caught out by it though  

 

It looks almost like the real thing.

 

Lol. I’m not even sure if Hasbro ever had one. I know Takara did. Cool picture though. If you made that, you did a great job.

 

Good find today

 

What’s the date stamp on Jetfire? Is it 1986?

 

This counts as G1, right?



 

All the best

I see a Bandai and a toyoko Japan stamp but I don’t see a date

 

Thanks! It should be on the underside of the back panel.

Anyway I have a 1984 version and its all yellow. I have a 1985 too and its white. Just curious if the year of manufacture affects the whiteness. Thanks!

 

Mine's a Bandai 85, with yellowing all on the sides, but barely any on the front. There is some yellowing on the back, and the wings though. But, it is also in fairly rough condition. Bought it for fairly cheap in the late 90's.

 

Instant ban!  

 

Sweet! Does it have any yellowing at all?

 

None! I was so surprised to find it in this condition

 

I didn't realize there were any unyellowed Jetfires left. 

 

Mine only has a little bit of yellowing after a peroxide cream treatment. I'm going to try to do another when it gets warmer out to see if I can get rid of the rest. My buddy that sold him to me told me it toy patina.. Lol
