Can I just say that I love this community? Somebody shows up with a wall of parts and y'all immediately jump into identifying them to help out. It's dope.

At first pass the only one I don't recognize is the one at the very top next to the arms (to the right of Freefall and above Heavy Duty V1). Otherwise there's a few mismatched parts (like the R&R head + Wildcard chest + I think Gnawgahyde harms?) but all stuff you should be able to find on yojoe.
Thank you, the wildcard hybrid was annoying the hell out of me, I was like it's wildcard but the hands are wrong. |

OMG. I'm speechless. I am so incredibly grateful for your generosity. Thank you so much for doing all of this for us. What a brilliant community of awesome people! You guys made my day. My kid is going to love this. We'll be sure to post our repairs and finished figures as we dig into them. Thanks again!

Just a side note since your Serpentor didn't have his cape. There's a lady who does really nice reproductions on Etsy. It's a little lighter green than the original, but looks great and was a whole lot cheaper than tracking down an original, undamaged cape.

BTW, how will I be able to tell if the weapons are real or reproductions? We would like to buy all original weapons and accessories for these guys when we repair them. Should I sell the repro accessories and weapons on ebay? Or just toss them?
And again, you guys are AWESOME! Thanks so much for all your help with this. Very grateful. |

And again, you guys are AWESOME! Thanks so much for all your help with this. Very grateful. As far as selling them, that's entirely up to you. Personally, I toss them, because I'm a purist and don't want to contribute to someone getting screwed through a third or fourth generation sale. For example: I sell them today, and clearly label them as repros, the guy I sell them to has them for two years, and does the same, and the guy that buys those is unscrupulous, lists them as 100% authentic- and six sales down the line, they are indistinguishable (almost) from the OGs. Somewhere down the line someone that's a bit more savvy will get them, and the last guy to sell them, probably unknowingly, will get the headache of accidentally ripping someone off. I'm not opposed to repros in and of themselves, but I do wish the makers would "mark" them. I often wonder about my own lot. This hobby has been strong for more than 20 years- do I have that ticking time bomb in my own collection?
