Interesting question, embarrassing repsonse is that I'm having trouble seeing ANY trademark. You'd thing it'd be obvious on a toy this small. Do you know where I should be looking?

 

Here on zaur

 

Here on the other

 

Yup, nothing!

 

Are those decals or are they painted on?

 

Decals

 

Lack of trademarking is good as this can be the difference between this release and the original and KO releases and someone can't pass off these as original

 

Agreed, I do like when there is a subtle, but obvious if you know where to look, difference like these. I'm happy with my reissues but if I owned the originals and these were 1:1 copies, I gotta say, I'd be a little pissed right now!

 

Thanks again to @shelbee350 for pointing out my transformation error (what am I? A stock photographer? Getting things wrong and.all!) A shot of the other side.of these guys.

All in all a lovely set. And they come with a Bumblebee.

 

LOL

 

Bee's abdomen plate goes lower to tab into the core of the torso thus putting the front end of the car mode at more of an angle like so:

 

That's interesting how the shape of the eye is different on each side. I wonder if your copy is an error or if they are all like that. Thanks for sharing pics!

 

The head mold looks different compared to the original (left) and the KO (right)

 

So I was told the Collector Store in the next town will have these in stock. I just don't know when,

 

How are the joints? Anything really loose?

 

Joints are good, have found one issue in that the head has a bit of a gap, only noticed it in combined mode and combined mode is... Yeah. Looks a lot worse in this picture because I'm zoomed right in on the issue but the underside of that head is not pretty!

 

Remind me again, what's the difference between the cassettes of vol. 1 and vol. 2?

 

Thanks!

 

Scroll back a few posts and there are several picture examples of the difference.

 

Like Volume 2 better, then.
