Packaging Guide - Giftset 

 

  • Figure Name labels - Motormasters should have a full grid square between his figure art and the 5 of the name block. Breakdown should also have two rows of grids between his name label and figure window.
  • Similar color gradient issues to other counterfeits.
  • See Deceptigtar's guide on TFW
  • Counterfeit styro can be determined by the separator between the waist armor and the fist/gun/feet sprue. Its too think on the counterfeits and not angled. (Its also poor quality and missing the lined circle imprints). 
  • Instructions -The counterfeit has placement issues with the line art
  • The sword blade covers the third vertical gridline, it should be between the 2nd 3rd gridline.
  • Too much whitespace between his left foot and grid border.

 

Packaging Guide - Individual

  • Motormaster
  • There is a colon after AGES on the KO Box. Factory sticker is also applied.
  • The sunburst on the Motormaster box is closer to the original than most KO's, however there is still some misalignment and sizing issues, a vertical gridline can (just) be seen between Motormasters legs.
  • Breakdown / Dead End / Drag Strip / Wildrider
  • Individual carded stunticons are carded on the "Prizes in disguise" card. There is no reflective iron-on packaged with the figure*.
  • The hole punch on original prizes in disguise cards is above the 'AN' in transformers, it is above the 'NS' on the KO card. (Same as original non "prizes in disguise" cards).
  • Rub signs are either either not applied (A rubsign is included), or applied.
  • The yellow and black Stunticon - name box (bottom left corner) should be sized 4x2 grid spaces. On the counterfeits its sized 5x2.

* NB - Be aware of Kmart stickers being placed on counterfeit stunticon cards, due to both the card and bubble being available separately, reseals have appeared with what appears to be a iron on patch!
