False : the reissue has silver where the original had white. And some gold chrome where there was yellow.
But the mold was sit exact, made of good quality, and official.
These KOs are no different from me learning how to cast mold and dropping them in a box with "TRANSFORMERS" writen on it with a sharpie.
Yep, that would be worthless, and so are these!
As for a reasonable price being around $30-$40. That is fair to me, hell the recent motorized Dai Atlas reissue went for only $25, so why not this.
Give in to a gauge and they'll push the blade deeper, fight it and you may have a chance!
It's not worth it dude. KO supporters just simply don't get that these are "illegal unlicensed products".
Trust me, i've had this "discussion" with them in two other threads this week.
Well to them all I can say is enjoy expesive shelf clutter.
As I've said, if this was to go for a realistic KO price, that would be one thing. But recent Kos are being passed for vintage, and to me thats a rip off to the buyer, and a short change to a respecatble collection.
I myself have G1 Metroplex boxed, and am longing to play with him, but not willing to detriment him. A quality KO at a fair KO price would be a nice interactive piece.
But again, for the price these are starting at, I'd rather have a loose G1 to enjoy in all his unaltered, uncheapened glory than a subpar QC questionable knock off(realy yoou can get one for about $60 on average).
To those who suport these as a viable resort, you are not TRANSFORMER collectors, as you have no TRANSFORMERS in your collection.
I don't collect as an investment, and I just wanna state that as I say, enjoy smiling at your valueless clutter, while I take pride in my noteworthy collection!
