it all looks real to me. the only thing that does not look realy is the blue print. all blue prints where made of think paper. that blue print looks to be make of some high gloss type paper as it give a shine look. as we all know not even new blueprints give a shinny look to them. so id say all is real but the blue print. and who cars if its bootleg the real ones where made in china anyway. if i could get bootleg night force id not be living in a cardboard box while my collection is in a nice house lol . but id buy it real or not.

Anyone have any Chinese-release vehicle blue prints to test the theory out? |

Another possible red flag on the blueprints:
YOJOE.COM | Cobra Stinger Blueprints (Japan) Seems the ones yojoe has were all in Japanese, while the ones in the auction are Japanese and English. Much like how Canadian paperwork is made. Perhaps this changed mid year (Since both blueprints are from 1986) or maybe this is a later release, or maybe just a really well done bootleg. Either way, $30 for a toy as big as the night raven isn't too bad (Unfortunately, the $40 shipping price kills it for me) |

I think we pretty much all realize the toy actually existed.
I think the question, given who the seller is, is more along the lines of 'is this a legit Sky Raven, or a bootleg?'...which is harder to answer. These seem more believable than the SS's were, but the seller is still claiming the same old 'found old Hasbro stock in a warehouse' story.

also the blue prints do not show the super ugly grid lines as most every blue print ive seen regardless of country the items is from all have had the grid lines. but still a nice items for the price. and yea the shipping is a little high.

Those are actually Chinese Joe Boxes and I saw some of these at the JoeCon in Atlanta a couple of years ago. First time I had ever seen Chinese boxed vehicles. Some of the vehicles had regular style blue prints and some were weird and blank looking just like in this auction. I would wager that these are legit.

Same guy selling a bunch of mint Storm Shadows. I am not sure if the H-1 is a overseas stamp or not. It is possible. Then again look at the Gold and Silver Storm Shadows that sold on Ebay. They where customs and molded. So it's hard to say. I guess you get what you pay for.
