Have you ever seen an unpunched Commandos em acao card?
I always thought they came factory punched. Take a look at this listing. Gi Joe Cobra de aco Commandos Em Acao Estrela Unpunched Super RARE Mint AFA | eBay Take a closer look at the 6th picture. The rear margin of the guy's head do not line up. This and the fact that I have never seen an unpunched Commandos em acao item before raises some red flags for me. What do you guys think? |

The individual selling the figure is a personal friend and has had rare figures like this come and go for quite some time.
If you'd like to reach out to him yourself, his name is SirT. |

seen this kinda thing before. Not sure whats going on with this individual auction, but a lot of times these are reproduction. My opinion, if it looks like a turd, and smells like a turd, it usually is. When you are dealing with this type of figure, which I have personally wanted loose or carded for a LONG time, you must be diligent with your research before purchase. The thing is, these foreign figures were made cheap and with cheap printing, so it could be real. but before I would pay half that rdiculas asing price he had best be able to prove it's authentication. On the same note,right after I posted this I just seen where CIAD knows him and can vouch for the auctioneer, so in that case I would trust it. I still thin it's a little bit expensive though
WVA, in any other instance I would advise Jump to follow your advice to the letter. I couldn't agree more, De Aco, Satan and others are heavily "bootlegged" (heck, I have a fake De Aco sitting on my desk as we speak)...but in this case, thanks for understanding that I wouldn't just throw my trust out there for anyone. The seller in question is SirT, the gentleman who kindly opened his doors to a bunch of us here in Florida for meets at his home. Needless to say, the lucky bum always comes across neat pieces like this, especially since he lives overseas now and has a wide network. He's also very open about how he acquires and item or where it came from, so as I suggested to Jump via PM, contacting SirT directly for more info would be the best bet... Or maybe if he would see this darn thread and respond himself, I can stop blabbering on. |

If anyone needs any information on this, please contact me.
It´s an authentic item which I purchased from a serious, reliable and very long time collector from Brazil, who happens to be a friend of mine. It is the real deal and the pictures confirm it, I can assure you! Please compare to fakes, most of the fakes do not use the same plastic on the bubbles or the same cardboard as it's not readily available. A lot of people know me and you can search my id on here and other forums, I don't deal with fake or copied items. Thanks for vouching for me Erick.

Tony does not sell fakes I know him personally and he is as reliable as they come. He is a foreign gi joe figure guru and has a sick collection. Have 110% confidence if you decide to purchase from him that you are getting authentic stuff.

I will also vouch for the seller. He's a long-time member of the community and he's been both a good friend and a regular source of rare Joe items for me personally through the years. If he says it's legit, I believe him 100%.

Thanks Albert and Dan, I appreciate it guys. I also had another MOC De Aco that I sold that was not unpunched, pictures below for comparison. Both are the real deal.

Just to clarify, every figure released in Brazil came unpunched, the stores that sold these figures removes the punch to hang them.
