2008 Botcon Rodimus ...is it a fake?
came across this auction but something about it doesn't look right to me. The insignia looks really messy and almost painted in with a stencil. What do you guys think...it wouldn't be hard for the person to repro the paper work either.

It was either repainted or that has got to be one of the worst paint applications I've ever seen.

The pictures on tfw2005 are considerably cleaner

Something is not right there.

Maybe the front of the figure was damaged somehow and it's someone's attempt to fix it. It's def. hand painted.

I'd stay away.

Cheers!

Re: 2008 Botcon Rodimus ...is it a fake?
yeah it's fake. xD

it looks like someone printed it out on a bas-quality printer and stuck it on.

If ya haven't decided to yet, avoid at all costs man.
