This may help sort out bootleg vs legit. A yojoe member recently provided some immensely detailed shots of an '84 Storm Shadow compared with bootlegs from 2008 & 2009: YoJoe.com Forums - View Single Post - Just a heads up to a seller, selling fakes (post 24)
This shot of the Cobra symbol is particularly revealing: http://i62.servimg.com/u/f62/11/22/52/69/sm_ss_23.jpg Hope that helps

this makes you find comfort in all that genuine yellowish-ness of your own authentic Stormy.

so i write this seller a short love note telling him that he should be ashamed for trying to rip someone off by selling this:
VINTAGE 1984 GI JOE STORM SHADOW FIGURE C9 COMPLETE - eBay (item 270375697930 end time May-16-09 18:12:06 PDT) he writes me back, and i quote/copy/paste: please...tell me how you think it's fake? are you for real? hey dummy, i bought this figure in 84...it has never left my showcase...lol, idiot - end genius quote. caveat emptor. I hate to say this, but the link to the eBay auction that you just pointed out to us is actually of an authentic vintage 1984 STORM SHADOW... After reading this thread and then seeing your post, I went to go have a look for myself. I've always been a very big stickler for details and can usually see differences in figures whether they're real or fake, from a mile away. A part of my personal collection, boasts variants and variations of figures as well as file cards... With that being said, I can usually tell differences or problems right away within a lot of figures. But that eBay seller is indeed telling you the truth, it is an actual vintage 1984 STORM SHADOW. As far his response to your inquiry, that was definitely unnecessary but I can understand his frustration or where he's coming from since he probably feeling alienated in what he's selling to people, after having someone try calling him out on his eBay listings... and is being told that his figure(s) are fake. That would naturally upset anyone, so I only hope that you can try to sincerely understand his reaction and response to this... Just my two cents brO!

you may be right... after carefully examining the cobra logo, it looks legit... Qbert and myself might definitely be in the wrong on this one.
the dude's attitude is sub par, admittedly. |

no, look at the rivets on the back of the elbows. they don't match and the symbol is not right as well. I would not buy this.
