Wheeljack Reissue or KO?

I'm zipping along the auctions on ebay and came across this.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Tranformers-G1-Reissue-Wheeljack-MIB-/180502951456?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a06d07620

Besides the fact that it is obviously not MIB, i thought the WJ mold got damaged and therefore was unable to be reissued?

I guess the question is, do we warn people about this or did i just show everyone a lost relic?

K.O. Condition of the recent K.O.s of WJ is that it has atrocious wheel rivets and that the blister card always falls of the inner card mounting.

The Wheeljack mold is confirmed lost, along with Mirage and Sunstreaker. However toys of them are still made by other companies using copied or even reverse-engineered molds. He was never reissued, so anything that says otherwise is a bootleg, a fake, something to avoid like the plague.
