Packaging Guide:

• There are two versions of the counterfeit card, v1 the background grid is visible throughout the sunburst while v2 the sunburst is too bright and it cannot be see.

• There is no assortment number, etc. in the lower right of the card on the counterfeits.

• Frenzys artwork positioning is incorrect, on the v2 card the easy tell is that the tip of the thruster gun should be under the 'R' not alongside. See image above.

• The tech specs preforation line should be a T junction between each figures tech specs (under the proof of authenticity), on the counterfeits it appears disjointed.

• The copyright of the counterfeits ends in Takara Co Ltd, Tokyo - this is the same as the 1986 card? (if it ends in Tokyo, Japan its original).

 

Figure Guide:

• The screws/rivets in Rumble's arms are flat and shiny on the counterfeit, instead of dark and with a hole in the center. See the Rumble/Ravage or Frenzy/Laserbeak ID guides for more information on this.

• Real Frenzys in real Frenzy/Ratbat sets *only* comes with dark hips, so the trick with dark hips from the Frenzy/Laserbeak guide does not work with Frenzy/Ratbat.

• On the counterfeit, Ratbat is the painted details version with silver weapons. The painted version is supposed to come with gold weapons. On Asst card #5733/5734. (Tokyo, Japan card)
