Hey Guys. So I just bought a 1984 Storm Shadow on ebay to custom card when I have time.
G I Joe * 1984 Storm Shadow * C9 NM 100% Complete W/FC - eBay (item 370181484900 end time Mar-31-09 18:48:52 PDT) (expensive I know) So yesterday, I was all stoked about finally owning this figure again when I noticed something odd about it. Looking at the arms, I noticed that the rivets are different in both the right shoulder vs the left shoulder and also at the elbow. The rivets on the right in the auction picture are bigger on one shoulder and elbow then the other. Is this normal? Was it swapped at one point? Could it be from another year storm shadow or was there just a variation in rivets? I know it seems anal but I paid a lot of money and I want to make sure the Storm Shadow I have is legit. Thanks in advance! |

To me is just the angle of the pic.

I think you're okay, Wyo. I think it just the back side of the rivet on the left elbow vs. the front side of the rivet on the right.

holy guacamole that's a hefty price tag, dude!
the money is definitely in loose ARAH. check my b/s/t, btw. ;) but seriously, it does look like the angle of the pic is culprit for your worries. the lighting seems to be playing a part. BUT, if not, you can always get your money back if you paid with PayPal. i would hope that it was one of those Chinese knock-offs so you can get your money back... because in all honesty... you paid WAY TOO MUCH!!! ouch. i could have sold you one in just as great shape for half that price. |

if the rivets are different, you got hijacked.
get your money back ASAP! Chinese knock-offs strike again. |

Darth Cantu....mine is exactly like the one on the left. Gold elbow rivets, not silver. Is that a knock off?

Wyo, looks like we both have a Frankenstein. I think your correct about different parts from different year Storm Shadows, that's the only thing I can think of.
