I have a question. I bought a spare leg for my G1 Doubledealer powermaster who has been missing his since I was a kid. I got it, and it's a totally different shade of red, like, almost pink.
It doesn't look like it's been sunbleached, or painted, or other discoloration, it's just slightly pinker plastic, like they changed the color tone formula between batches. It's a little hard to make out in the photo but it's pretty obvious in person. The seller said it matched his perfectly.
I know Optimus Prime was seen in slightly different shades of red. Has anyone else seen this kind of variance on other G1 figures? Is it possible I got a piece from a bootleg, or a foreign version maybe?
