I am nearly certain those are the blades showing through.

Damn good eye, Joey. I'd not noticed that. But I am pretty sure I have seen yellow boxes on eBay. So that makes sense - the original box likely was yellow.

Yeah - the 4's I got on eBay were in a cardboard box. The 5's were in the orange plastic, single-hinged box...

Re: Rambo's Explosive Arrow Tips?
Mine has a double hinge.
Except there is one other difference with mine- the inside top of the box has that recessed rectangle, where the screenused box does not.
Unless they filled it in with the screenused box- but you probably would not be able to make out the RAZORBAK lettering that can be seen if they did do that.

Dammit man - I'm jealous!
I guess we're holding to true RPF form, sweating such details!

Thats wierd mate.
I have the two hinges same as you, but my box has the large recess on top, as the movie one does, and I have the lettering coming through the lid, but I dont have the small rectangle as your one has, this is so wierd that there are many variations. lol

Again - in true RPF form - we are obsessing in the obscurity of the details!
And it seems a decent amount of learning has come from this thread.

I don't have this prop nor do i have any intention of making one.
I just wanted to get in on the discussion

Re: Rambo's Explosive Arrow Tips?
So, these are far from perfect as they are Razorbak 5's with the 4 rings instead of 5 and the box also has slight differences, but I think they are still pretty good. I just need to get some card stock for the "Explosives" cover and these babies are going up in the Junkyard.
I tried to leave the bottoms a bit rough and unfinished like the originals but I think the originals are still more rough than mine.
BTW, paint constantly wears at the points where the lid of the box closes.

Re: Rambo's Explosive Arrow Tips?
There was certainly some arguement about it. I read earlier that the ones from Rambo II were gold, so I painted mine gold. I honestly don't know because I can't see colors well.

Re: Rambo's Explosive Arrow Tips?
I painted mine with a spray can, but in looking at the originals, even the paint is pretty rough, giving them more depth and texture, while mine appear very "new" and shiny. I almost want to put a black wash on them, but there is no indication of that on the movie heads.

Re: Rambo's Explosive Arrow Tips?
Those look great! I like the refreshing new look!
I agree with your color choice, Art. In the pics below, though I don't know if these are screen-used or fan-built, you can see what a copper one looks like compared to the gold.
I may try a Sharpie permanent marker on the hinges and latch of the box. Wonder if the plastic might absorb the ink at all?
By the way, I may have a JY offering soon after yours, Art, but of a slightly different nature!
