Hello. First off thank you for any and all help you can give me with this, my knowledge is very limited with these particular toys. Ok I will give you a run down on what I know and have learned so far.

> I bought this from a second hand store in Canada in a toy bin.
> Looks almost identical to the original Star Saber G1 in every way but!!!
> As you can see he has blue feet.
> His head guns and jet exhaust pipes are not flat grey, but metallic silver.
> The logo on the wing (although similar) is not the transformers logo.
> He has Star Saber stickers on legs.
> Small stickers on his arms read: SSH17-IN 243OBU
> Stickers and some color pieces differ somewhat from original.
> This toy is a very well made / solid plastic and of good construction.
> Missing gun and sword.
> No stamps or identifying company marks.
> No paint touch ups or modifications, all factory made.
> When standing flat foot and arms to his side he is about 12 ½ inches from ground to upper arm tip and 8 inch across from cuff blade to cuff blade.

So the big question is?
WHAT IS HE??? I have never seen another like him and would like to know if this is some sort of variant, knock off, proto type, custom. Any help or input you have would be great, and once again thank you in advance.

PS: Would sure like to get my hands on a sword and gun for this guy?

Looks good, but to be honest, it is a knock off, comparable to this one on Transformers-Universe.com. Feet are a different color but color variations are common on Star Saber KO's (here's another slightly more colorful variation).

Also of interest: this thread on TFW mentions the OP most probably having the same KO as you do, with specific mention of the blue feet (although the link to his enclosed picture is broken).

Not a bad KO, the stickers look abit fake though. The big giveaway is the lack of an Autobot logo. Get some reprolables and paint his feet red and it'll be a nice collection piece.

And you'll save yourself a hell of a lot of dosh too
