Hey gang!
You think all my 150+ G1 Transformers sales were all done - not yet :-) I actually didn't yet sell all my G1 French Ceji variations - been meaning to post them up for sale for quite a while, but been so super busy working on my game that it's taken all my time - but now they're up for sale.
I had in my collection 14 Ceji variation figures, and in the end only sold two of the most mint & pristine ones (Decepticon Seeker Dirge and Bombshell Insecticon). The collector who was to originally purchase all 14 noticed some faults on some that I myself had actually overlooked/honestly not even realized - and in the end he decided to buy only two of the most mint ones.
So the French Ceji variations that I'm now finally offering for sale - along with all the defects they have - are the following:
1. Decepticon Seekers, French Ceji variantsCeji variants identified by: Hard plastic nosecone (instead of rubber), plastic black wheels (instead of die cast), and Japan-blocked copyright imprints in legs, etc.
-
Starscream, 100% Complete. Somewhere between C8.0 - C9.0 condition (Minor wear). The defect I had not realized: 3 of his missiles (there's 4 all-in-all) have partially broken end tabs, meaning they won't "lock-on" into the missile launchers really properly.

2. Constructicons, Devastator, French Ceji variantsCeji variants identified by: Yellow launch tabs on forearms, Japan-blocked copyright imprints, the precise Ceji shade of yellow (that's slightly different from the later common G2 variant's shade of yellow), etc.

Defect I had not realized - most of these got red eyes (except Scrapper) - meaning I have probably painted them red as a kid? (paint could be removed?) Since these had been carefully packed away in storage for the past 25+ years, I had actually forgotten exactly how they should look.
The Ceji Constructicons:- Bonecrusher
- Hook
- Long Haul
- Mixmaster
- Scavenger
- Scrapper (eyes seem normal/default)
...With all Devastator parts (but no other accessories), Head and Missile Mount got some paint defects:
- Head (red eyes)
- Chest Plate/"Super Wing"
- Left Forearm
- Right Forearm
- Left Fist
- Right Fist
- Waist Plate/"Wing"
- Leg Connector/"Missile Mount" (some traces of black marker pen used on the small yellow "missile" pieces)
- Big Gun/"Magna Laser"
- Small Gun/"Laser"
3. Ceji Insecticons, French Ceji VariantsInsecticon Ceji variants identified by: Orange (not yellow) Chest Plates, and Japan-blocked copyright imprints behind them.
-
Bombshell, 100% Complete. C8.5 Condition (Minor wear).

-
Bombshell, 90% complete (gun missing). Otherwise C8.0 condition, but the defect I had not realized is that eyes painted with a red marker pen (could be removed?). But then again, I personally firmly believe a real Decepticon should have red eyes.

...That's all of them. Thanks once again to everyone for their help and advice here - I got a really friendly response and welcome here when I first began my quest - to essentially trade my childhood for my future by selling my TF collection to fund my dream (my own game company).
My game's been progressing quite nicely btw, I can share a teaser/trailer video with you all in the future if you're interested, as the weeks/months roll past by, it's getting closer and closer to a state where I'm beginning to feel confident to show it to the world for the first time.
And the "thanks to" credits section is going to be real long, seeing as I've soon sold over 150+ Transformers and promised every TF buyer their name in credits if they want :-)
Thanks guys,
Petsku
