I haven't taken any of these out of the package, and probably won't. I do have two of the three originals, though I have the red Bumblebee, and my version is early enough that it doesn't have the rubsign.
All cards are bilingual, in English and French.
G1 Reissue Bumblebee
Yellow Bumblebee with a cartoon-accurate face, which I think they changed for the Japanese reissue six pack, maybe? The package art shows the original faceplate. No rubsign, just a tiny Autobot sticker on the robot chest. The instructions are drawings rather than photos, unlike the original packaging.
G1 Reissue Gears
As far as I can tell, identical to my original. Autobot sticker rather than rubsign, just like my original.
G1 Reissue Swerve
This is the first Swerve I have owned. I think the face may be a remold, like Bumblebee, or at least a repaint since it matches the art in appearance if not color. Like the others, no rubsign, unless it's on the side inside the bubble against the card.
Metals Optimus Prime
Vehicle only, G1 style packaging and art. The cab is slightly smaller than the original G1 Prime's cab, has some paint aps instead of stickers and a bit more chrome, and a few other differences. But it's a nice G1 Prime truck, and worth $7 to me.
