Hey all,
I need your expert advice. I have a G1 Twincast, but I am unable to discern as to whether or not he is vintage or a reissue. His face is gray, not gold (as I believe the most recent reissue has). But wondering if there are any other ways to distinguish?
Thanks for your help!

The latest Encore reissue was the one with all the changes including:
- Gold face instead of silver
- The techno detailing in the cassette door was smoothed over
- Tampographs instead of stickers
The first reissue was an e-Hobby release and identical to the original.

So no way to distinguish between the EHobby and the original then?

There is one notable difference: on the e-Hobby reissue, the left upper arm lacks the Autobot symbol.

Is the symbol that is supposed to be there a sticker/decal?
Not seeing any difference in the photos I am seeing online.
Thanks!
