Yesterday we showed everyone a light blue Classics Bumblebee repaint that screamed Classics Glyph. This does not seem to be the case as reliable Ebay seller TFCToy has put the figure up for auction as a 'Lucky Draw' Testshoot. It seems the common collector will continue without a Glyph among their Classics toys. If you're as rich as Generation One Mirage, feel free to bid for the one of a kind toy here.

What are the chances of 2 auctions in the same week? :-?

So is this the Dairycon figure "Testshot"?

Posted: **Wed Apr 14, 2010 10:55 am**

Reliable? I think not.

Everything is "Lucky Draw" to them.

LOL, I doubt that Dairycon gets their stuff made over in japan. I think they do a lot of their toys themselves. *edit* and it's not the dairycon symbol either.

But I like the fact that these are turning up on ebay however. So that means it's less of a chance of being a lucky draw and a better chance that it's some kinda of Henkei or some kind of club/special release.

Again, just guessing.

If you actually read the desctrption they say it might be a Lucky Draw Test Shot but they don't know what it is.

In other words it's a random educated guess? :???:

I can 100% confirm that this toy is not, has never been nor will it be a "lucky draw" figure. The classic / henkei molds were used for prize draws back in 2008 and TakaraTomy wont be using them again. This years figure will most likely be a chromed up Animated Prime but it will not be in the magazines until December 2010 / Jan 2011.

TFCToys always lists the items he is not sure of as testshoots. The toy that turned up the other day was a sample it said so on ACToys in the guys 2nd post, he also said that it apparently will be released without that faction symbol which puts more credibility that it will be a Botcon figure.

Someone's going to be spending a lot of money on a knock off.

Though TFC Toys typically doesn't sell knockoffs...

I've spoken to a couple of the KO makers and they all have no knowledge of it. Granted I don't know them all but they do like to keep tabs on one another.

I guess time will tell won't it?

The Testshoot items I've seen on Ebay don't generally get sold in large batches, though. Unless things have changed significantly in the time I've spent whilst away from the hobby. :???:

So, if I'm being a plonker, please tell me.

What's odder is that the seller has aquired a significant quantity yet still claims no knowledge of what they are. Seems shifty to me.

I could probably spend about 3 days entertained just listening to British slang.

Seems like we still havemore questions than answers about this figure. If it does turn out to be a Glyph my wife will make me buy it for her.

If we're getting Glyph for Botcon, I want Tap-Out too. No really, glittery green plastic and all. GIMMIE!
