crazysteve's Transformer Stampings Page
This is a collection of pictures of all of the different copyright stampings from lots of Transformers! Many are from my collection, but thanks to the contributions of others, this page is growing and growing!
Most of these are US release unless otherwise noted. I've noticed many US and Japanese TFs have identical stampings, so the only ones I've bothered to differentiate are the Mexican stampings which have been generously donated by Maz. These are truly unique and different from traditional US/Japanese releases because they have no country of manufacture on them. By the way, US listings with a single asterisk (*) next to them have been donated to me by Maz, two asterisks (**) denote contributions from Evilgrin, and three asterisks (***) denote contributions by Argus of Domus Mundi.
Whenever a figure has more than one different stamping, I have numbered them sequentially for purposes of clarity, but not necessarily in chronological order of release. For a more in depth discussion of Transformer stampings, go to Fred's Workshop's Variations: The Stampings, and the Rubbies page. Most of the pictures are 13-15k each, so they should load quickly enough. Enjoy!
