Difference between these "Rumbles"

[freakx2001]

Question for the experts out there. I have they two "Rumbles" (Frenzy's). I know the one the right is the original release, but where is the other one from?

[razin]

Encore 19, would be my guess.

Possible Pre TF cassett man, steel spring in the head,metal rivets? if not its more than likley a KO

[razin]

Come to think of it, definitely not encore. Encore has theirs tampographed, these are actual stickers on yours.

I have the same rumble. It's a vintage knockoff; I believe it's from taiwan.

[Protoman]

It's a knock off from 1984 from the Taiwan "Cassette Man" line of bootlegs.

Here is from my personal collection to compare


They also came in Microman-like cases with the paperwork and all but didn't have the Takara stamp on the back of the robot mode "butt" or in the paper work. ALso no TAKARA on the chest sticker of "Rumble" No MC (Micro Cassette) proper number either (60?!) on the paper work.

Hope that helps!

Thanks case solved! great job!

Follow up question... I'm going to keep the original for my collection and get rid of the knock off. Which set of weapons should I keep for my original one?

Oh and is the KO worth anything to anyone?

[justprime]

I would keep the original acc, Check to see if the Ko fits snug most of the time they will not fit as originals either to loose or will not peg at all.

Sorry for bringing this thread back from the dead, but I actually threw this up on eBay after to see if I could get some extra money for TFcon. Anyways, last day left its still at $0.99 LOL... Can deliver to TFcon if anyone
wants it.
