On one of my many SLUDGE and SNARL searches thru ebay, I came across this gem.

Thoughts? Seen this before? KO?

Never seen this before, but highly probable KO for the following reasons:

- made in Taiwan (KO kingdom of the '80s)
- Sludge's head looks wrong
- chrome plates forming front of dino body has extra humps
- dino tail has extra fins

the only thing about this may be mistaken for a diaclone/microman Sludge is the chrome sword.

This is a no go my friend.

Not sure dude, It looks old, but in a strange way, to clean to look old enough to be a Diaclone figure... It also says made in Tiwan on the box.. And all Dclone stuff was from Japan from my knowlage.

So, I can't tell..

Definite KO. The lack of Takara/Hasbro/GiGi/Joustra logo on the box says it all. Don't buy it. Case (and thread, since we don't want to give any more publicity to this auction) closed :)
