That's a good question! I just got thru looking ALL OVER my figure and I can't find the stamp either! And I KNOW its a original Hasbro, and not a KO! Huh????

On the inner side of the right leg, more exactly the "thigh".

Excellent, thank you.

Now, how do I tell if its g1 or g2 in g1 colors?

Or was there even a reissues after that?

Jose, shouldn't G2 have a painted autobot logo?
Also, notice the darker color on the transparent plastic of G2 Snarl compared with G1:

Later "reissues" are almost certain knock offs.

According to Hasbro, the molds were lost/destroyed soon after the G2 releases.

The Dinobots were never as popular in the Asian markets, so it was not cost effective for the molds to be retooled.

Yes it does.

LD2062 (what's your actual name?), Magnus is correct, there are no later reissues than G2 of Snarl, but there's a previous release in 1990, Europe only: "Classic heroes". Looks the same as G1, but is made in Macau. To me, the hardest to find of all Snarls and same applies to the other Dinobots.

I have a beastbox stamped macau. Is it a Europe rerelease?

LD2062 - David

David (much better), that's normal for a Beast Box, so it means it's a worlwide release. Untill 1986 all G1 Transformers were made in Japan, and from 1987 on they began production in Macau. The oddity is having an originally released in 1985-1986 figure with a later stamp.
