Knock off or real Sunstreaker?

Postby longbowdude » Wed Jul 22, 2020 11:02 am

Hi. My first post. Sorry if this is the wrong place for this.

I found this at a local auction and was wondering if its a knock off or real. Can anyone tell just by this box pic? It almost seems like its too good.

Hmm. I forget the specific tells with the packaging..
Is he sealed? I know an easy way to test using the figure itself. If the launchers in the arms actually fire, he's bogus - the real Hasbro Sunstreakers left out the launch springs.
WANT:
* Cybertron Galvatron key, missiles
* Omega Lock
* Primus Cyber Key, coattail panel
* Powerlinx Comettor
* Cyb Jetfire R gun and missile
* RiD Galvy dragon head, beast arms
* DotM Ironhide windshield, R hood assy.
* ROTF Jetfire R JTFR panel

Well, the box looks accurate, all the way down to the little punch marks for the window. The figure looks correct as well, a lot of the KOs don't do a great job with yellow painted parts. Plus the KOs tend to have clear windows without the slight tint. Oh, and the KOs seem to have left the black paint off the doors.

Are there high end KOs out there, the ones I find on eBay, in some online stores and in comparisons seem pretty low quality and obviously fake.

That's a sticker, not paint :P

I know that when the counterfeit G1s started showing up they all basically tested as high-end from what I read. But of course now there's probably copies of copies.
