CONSTRUCTICON QUESITON

Post by Primus2000 »

I purchased the Constructicon set off Ebay. However Mixmaster, Hook and Scavenger are entirely plastic whereas the other 3 have chrome and metal parts. All pictures of these 3 I see have Chrome/metal parts on them.

Were they reissued entirley plastic or are these a cheap knockoff version or some other thing I'm missing here???

They all fit to form devastator without trouble.

My G1 hook and scavenger definitely have metal parts. Mixmaster seems all plastic though.

I'm thinking you might have some KO in the group. Although not all KOs are without metal. I have a yellow scavenger KO thats better than the real thing.

But to be sure look for the manufacturing stamp.

On the G1:
scavenger- on the inside of the legs
mixmaster - on the purple plastic when you flip the cab up
hook - on top the truck under the crane arm

But I don't know if there still stamped there on all the reissues.

Hi

Post by Primus2000 »

Thanks, yeah maybe it is KO reissue. I find they dont stay together too well as Devastator, maybe cos I am using orginals and KO's and the all plastic ones dont have the stamp on them.

Thankyou for that.
