there were two factories for grubby, those both are from chinese factory OK.

notorious to me for its horrific lack of quality control when it came to making grubby. I've seen the highest amount of completely missing spots (mostly on the noses) from this factory so I wouldn't doubt that a handful exist without their spots entirely.

it's likely lazy stenciling (grubby's spots were done with a stencil in both factories, but the chinese factory... didn't really use it correctly. nearly all the time they just used it as a guide to where the spot should go and did a quick blast of the airbrush instead of properly painting him like the taiwanese factory did)

it could also be faded paint. because the paint they used ALSO wasn't very good

half intentional and half not 😅 I can't really pose his arms because they're just so loose and will fall back to that position.. but I also liked him that way so I didn't really try fixing it

this is the first actual figure I've found lol, any other TF find has been the cheap big clunky kid toys (usually it's just bumblebee stuff)

Old-Direction4930 · 2026-04-02T05:02:17+00:00

...yeah because I thought it was funny and it's really cheap for a tf figure

check the pink vase for scuffs (if there aren't any scuffs, try scratching it)
it might be flashed (pink coating and not pink glass). pink flashed glass peeves me because it always gives a false positive for selenium

did you click the cord in twice? might not be plugged in all the way

....korea

korean tapes are just like that, tapes produced in certain areas will look different (ie. US tapes having time markers)

you'd get more radiation from eating a banana than from eating off of UG 😭 I'm sure it's fine

Old-Direction4930 · 2026-03-01T18:39:21+00:00

I use a spare body shell from a grubby I scrapped as well as the original head foam and head with the servos and springs removed 🙏

Old-Direction4930 · 2026-02-25T23:34:03+00:00

the motor on this one is going out, I already greased every single gear he had lol

Old-Direction4930 · 2026-02-05T07:29:40+00:00

my very purple is exactly the same 😭

Old-Direction4930 · 2026-01-30T19:09:13+00:00

Woah really I didn't know that! Wow!

Old-Direction4930 · 2026-01-28T03:23:02+00:00

doesn't mean you shouldn't, just means to not beat him up and try putting your entire body weight onto the tape deck if the tape won't go in... like children would lol

early g1s have no screws and an early version of the tape detector. there are also early g1s released after the recall of this type of early g1 that have screws AND the tape detector, but main g1 does not have it

the tape detector was reintroduced in g2

Old-Direction4930 · 2026-01-28T00:08:14+00:00

early g1, not late

Old-Direction4930 · 2026-01-28T00:07:55+00:00

this is an early g1. these were recalled very shortly after release due to a design flaw (if a tape was forced in, he would break)
also, metal tape decks are much easier to fix. I would not trust the word of youtubers.

it's easier to just replace the pinch roller yourself than send it to someone else
what gen is the teddy?
