Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

Usually the back screw point on Bumblebee or Cliffjumper will show wear if they've been opened. This thing looks untouched. Much less, the head joint is tight and doesn't show any wear whatsoever. I'd be apt to believe the heads had been swapped if I could find wear on it somewhere, but I can't. Much less, I know the person I bought this lot from. This was their entire collection and they were very studious about keeping things pristine. I've got no reason to believe any heads were swapped.

Then you've got me stumped. I imagine factory errors could have occured just as easily then as they can now. That's my only other guess. I would think Maz would be the person to ask about these things.

If one is carful, the heads on this mold casn be swapped out with little to no tool usage.

I'm very much the variant nerd, do a lot of repairs and restorations so I always look for more information about the G1 toys.
