Is there no differences by sight? I wonder how log before there is a sinking version. |

| Agreed, the new Amanaman staff is very accurate & the float test is the only reliabe way to identify them. I have seen some dealers at toy fairs with boxes of them, so there are a lot about!
I havn't seen the new Yoda snake in person though. |

| This is so sad with all those repro weapons, wish they would stop produce them. But as long there is people to buy them then they will also produce them  |

| The gun in the main post, does it fail the drop test? This is my repro haul during the years of collecting. Doesn't look like it but it's probably 130 repros in there.  |

I've also got quite a few here that I keep meaning to get pictures of, when I do get round to it I'll start a new thread as there's a load of new ones out there that are not on the gunnary yet and would be great if they where added. |

| If either of you have repros not identified on TIG, Im sure one of the mods will be happy to add any additional info /pictures you have.
So far I have only had 8 or 9 repro weapons in my hands, but compared to those mass produced in the '90's, these new ones can definately be harder to spot!

Yeah sure.
Got a bit much to do right now though so don't have time to go through and photo them at moment.
I think most in my bag are the 90s crap.
I'm not very happy about the new ones that get hard to id. |

I agree with you there!
The trouble is as we find new ways to identify the repros, the scammers will use the information to improve their production (provided there is a profit in it).
I'm certainly glad I'm not just starting out in this hobby! |

Yeah that would suck. Not knowing of repros and all. |
