Has Henkei ever made Skywarp??

[griffin]

I was lucky to pick up each one as it was released ; but I can say that for the longest time I, like many others, thought that we'd never get a full set of Seekers - but just to spur you on in your need for Classicsverse Jets :

Just keep your eyes out mate, the sales on the boards here are usually an excellent resource but if you have to go to eBay, just be mindful of the prices and I'm sure you'll find a good deal in no time.

Why stop there...

HOLY MOTHER!!!!

Knowing Griffin, he never buys KOs so this is not only a gold mill here, but...(refer to the link below)

If you have not already checked out this thread, take a look.

...imagine the time and effort he's put into this air force!


To be honest this post got me utterly scared. It is impossible to tell the difference and especially when they deliberately trick you into believing they are the authentic ones.

I wonder how Griffin Prime tackles with this problem. It is easy to say you never buy KO but when it's everywhere and looks more real than the real ones...???

From my understanding, The Gentei Skywarp and Thundercracker had terrible quality control and the CHMS figures were put together a little better. Really makes you think.

Me avoiding KOs... it usually takes a little while before a KO comes out, so I just buy stuff as soon as possible after its official release, preferably from reputable sources.
If I do look for something older that has been KO-ed, I'd look to see if there are any guides on how to tell the difference, to be sure I'm getting the real thing.

Love that picture griffin, it reminds me of my Seekers/Coneheads collection

Only ones I am missing are the Botcon exclusives, but knowing me I will own them all eventually .

I am actually working on making a stands for the Classics/Henkei Seekers so I can display them in a similar fashion to my Masterpiece Seekers

I actually found an old antenna from a USB TV tuner I own and realized that with some modification it would work perfectly as a base foundation. I took some pictures and will be looking into acquiring the parts I need to create something similar (Sorry for the crappy phone pics)

In case anyone was wanting to know which is which in my group shot above...

The front row are the Hasbro versions.
The second row are the JP versions.
While the rest are mostly exclusives.

So from left, front to back, we have:
Thrust - Hasbro, JP, BotCon.
Dirge - Hasbro, JP, BotCon.
Skywarp - Hasbro, JP. + Hasbro's Acid Storm at the back.
Starscream - Hasbro 1st version, JP, Hasbro 2nd version, JP clear version.
Thundercracker - Hasbro, JP, BotCon, BotCon Actionmaster deco.
Ramjet - Hasbro, JP, Collector Club Gen2 deco.
