Gig Trasformers Swoop confirmed

TransformerToys.co.uk has been updated with a new news story called Gig Trasformers Swoop confirmed.

Many of you will know that we like the odd and rare in the Transformers toy collectors world.  Well now the Diaclone / Microman and Gig fans (or Pre-Transformers to most people) have something to celebrate.

Puffmarko has managed to get his hands on the first documented Italian release of Swoop!  Well actually it\'s the Pre-Transformers release from GIG in their Trasformer range.

Puff says

Breaking news.. In Italy was just found a things supposed not exist. A pteranodon GiG, a sample. All the italian community was sceptical; the dianaut circle on the box wasn\'t on the original japanese layout.. But the instruction booklet seems to be a unquestionable proof of authenticity.

No words to describe the importance of this find. Enjoy.

I repeat: among our community, we had a great number of perplexities about the authenticity of the piece. Nothing against toy, that seems totally original. Our doubts were about the box. A very well done custom, maybe? Well, we asked to see some extra pictures, in particoular some shoots of the instruction booklet: and we had them! And all now seems to be authentic. Font size and font type.. colour of paper.. graphic style.. a moderate aging on paper, everything appears true. As we know, this piece comes from the flat of the son of a GiG salesman (we were skeptical also about it).
As far as today, this GiG Pteranodon is the only one specimen seen in 27 years.
