GI JOE COBRA Hasbro 1984 STORM SHADOW 10 piece - eBay (item 120389403217 end time Mar-16-09 04:04:13 PDT) i know there are white ss out there but i think they are being made in china. come on they make everything else we buy in the us why not 80's mint figures. just my 2 cents Honestly... if those are knockoffs, they look like pretty good ones. As long as you're happy with them, who cares if they are legit? My wife bought a couple of fake purses while in New York City, she knows they are fake, but they are really well made fakes, so who cares? lol Check this pic out... Hahaha. He chased me down the block after I took that pic. |

Buy them, take one apart and see what the inside molds look like. If you are going to sell bootlegs, f-ing list them as bootlegs. I hate that more than repackers!!

What collector would take that out of the original package. I don't care how damaged the packaging is, let it dry out and sell it as is. This guy is a piece of work!!!

Yeah , selling fakes for top dollar, I mean come on even if your happy with how it looks that still sucks. Seems like most of the sdcc destros on ebay right now are fakes cause most of them don't respond to questions or say the date codes start with an 8!

Update- there are now AFA graded figures out there with the code starting with an 8 on the back. I would imagine that they would not grade figures if they realized they were indeed fake. Plenty of mixed opinions on this out there, but AFA also says its possible the 8's were a second run
thought this might be of interest |

Vintage figures I don't know but the PDD's have the 8 code on them and are supposed knock offs. I am surprised to see that AFA is grading them but if just goes to show how reliable they are. I am not much on grading personally but sometimes it does increase the value. I have noticed that gold PDD's have dropped in price quite a bit. I scored one with the 7 code with one minor flaw that you barely notice in the case (bent corner on the bottom) for $147 shipped. The ones that are bid on have not been going for more than about $150 plus shipping and most of those are individuals that will not answer questions about the date code. Having knock offs have hurt this figure by about $100 so far. You almost have to advertise the 7 code to get a good mint on them. I have not heard about other figures though. I think since PDD was getting so much it only made sense to make more if that is what happened. I saw one seller from Hong Kong was slinging them. I would be very hesitant about them.
