The new fake rebel blasters:
Fakes on the left, original V2s on the right
Fakes have a gap below the front button and the originals have a gap above the back button ( highlighted in red)
The fakes 'dimple' is more square

For the blasters, what do the mold seams look like on the back of the sight and handle?

Telescoping saber shaft & tip length is wrong. And they 'rattle' /fail drop test.

Thanks. I noticed the angle on the back of a real one I have and though it might be another way to ID fakes.
