NERV Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Is this realy a prototype? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 they dont usually make prototypes clear, looks more like a limited edition or something, either way its rare so to TF fans, worth the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfx Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Could be a bootleg. Why would hasbro have prototypes of existing toys anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyryder Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Could be a prototype for something that E-hobby is looking to release. It would be similar to hteir "Ghost of Starscream" clear Starscream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if this figure was recast in tinted clear blue resin...but not from the injection molding machines... Changeing the material (plastic) from one type to another is a fairly involved process...purgeing the old material completely out, loading the new stuff in, letting it get up to temperature, run through a couple of test shots and readjust the machine accordingly, make a few parts, purge the material back out, reload the correct material, get it up to tmperature, test shots and machine adjustments...that is a minimum of twenty minutes, minus the time spend produceing parts...ain't no way that you could do that on a factory floor without the boss knowing (then of course the "special" parts would need to go through the toy assembly lines to get built, as the folks on the molding machines don't perform that operation) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skull 0ne Posted May 8, 2004 Author Share Posted May 8, 2004 well gotta admit, while it looks cool, that chick got ripped off BIG time... lol I know, Ethier she has way to much money or she's a crazier TF collector than I am. I would have paid at most $100 but thats only if I was realy intent on winning a bidding war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
