I've been tracking DX GoLion variants for a while now and can generally differentiate between the various Japan, Taiwan, and US versions. But I have come across a Blue Lion that has some unique characteristics I have not seen before: Whisker Lines on the Snout - On all other releases I've seen, only the Yellow lion has whisker lines on the snout beside the nose. The Blue lion usually only has them on the cheeks. This one has them in both places. Note that it also has the sharp teeth like the Japanese or Taiwan versions. Flush Mounted Red Missile Launcher - On most Taiwan versions, the Red missile launcher on the back does not sit flush. It sticks up a bit and has 2 screws visible on the front. This one sits flush with no screws just like the Japanese or US versions. Ridged White Areas on Back - This lion has ridges molded into the white squares on the back. I've never seen that on any other version. Ribbed Lower Legs - Each of the 4 lower legs has a ribbed design that is different from all other versions I've seen. There are no manufacturer marks or stickers. Anyone else out there have or seen this version? I think it is probably a Taiwan copy of some sort, not LionBot, but maybe Jaguarbot or 5-in-1 bot versions?
