I know Amazing Heroes. If he says it's C8, it's C8. Look at his grading scale. I doubt this is in "great condition". It's probably just that the pictures aren't showing the wear. But C8 is still pretty good usually with him.

Looks genuine to me with the rubbed off shoulder stickers and all.

Not only are there issues with the shoulders, but there are also issues with the beak.

A GREAT find for an original piece, and almost hands down proof not a knock off, but most assuredly not mint which is what the person posting the auction wanted to make clear as well.

If its an original G1 Swoop..it should have the "Hasbro/Takara" 1980-1984 stamp under the front side of the right wing. Mine does. It looks to be in near mint condition..at least what I can dsee from the pics.
