Scourge vs. Targetmaster Scourge

johnnetee · Post by **johnnetee** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 9:06 am

Aside from the larger hole in the fist, is there a way to tell the difference between a Targetmaster Scourge and an original?

It's only recently come to my attention that there's a variant Scourge out there which I had always thought was the Targetmaster Scourge. I bought a Scourge a few years back, being sold as the Targetmaster Scourge w/o Fracas. So, assuming I was getting an original Scourge, I recently bought the variant. Now I have what I think are two original Scourge looking at the fists. I never tried putting another Targetmaster into the hands of the one I thought was a Targetmaster.

I guess I could simplify my question here. Are there infact FOUR Scourges' out there? Original and it's variant and Targetmaster and it's variant? And if the seller is only showing pics of the vehicle mode, is there any other way aside from the fists to tell the difference between original and Targetmaster?

Of course, I know the answer is to only buy complete figures, but well, yeah... ;-S

Thanks gang! Jose, this is probably a question for you.

Perhaps this can be of some help:

This is question beyond what I know, actually. But the first Scourge has painted trim on wings; while the later ones have a sticker.

Thanks gang. The link Minerva provided really helped out a lot with not only Scourge but some of the other variants as well. I didn't realize there were so many. So sad Geocities is going away soon. I hope this guy moves his site to another location. Thanks again all.

By the way... To anyone wondering what the answer to my question: The answer is there are infact 3 variants of Scourge. As Jose pointed out, the original was painted dark blue. Then, the original was released with the sticker instead of the paint. Then, the Targetmaster, with it's increased holes in the fists and on the head was the third iteration of Scourge to be released. He too had the sticker detail instead of the paint. Also, the little booster thing on his head can be found in either a glued or unglued state depending on the version you're getting. Check out the link the Minerva Provided up above for more variant information.

Thanks to Minerva and to Fred of the Futurist Group for providing this information.

I'm glad I was able to help you out, johnnetee

Are Geocities really going away soon? If so, I do hope Fred's will continue elsewhere.
