Actually most of those MISB Swoops are knockoffs they've been circulating lately.

There have been no re-issue Dinobots thus far.

Seems the moulds are either lost or broken. So if its MISB its most likely a knockoff

There was some talk about a KO in Diaclone colours a while back. So far I've only seen them in G1 colours or the black and gold variant. Anyone seen a KO version in blue?

I bought this one a few months back, to stick in with the rest if the collection it sits quite nicely but has all the hallmarks of a KO.

Big red rubber/plastic beak (you can see this on the auction pic through the box window)

Bit loose and unbalanced when it stands

Missiles dont fit in brilliantly


However despite all of this if you pick it up for the right price it can make a nice addition to a collection, I'm waiting till i find an original swoop to trade places with the KO, but if your a puritan then this might not be a good buy for you

it was determined that the blue ver. that we saw was a custom job. To my knowledge, it's been the only one "out there".
