Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

A question I have regarding the premium status we share is, what counts as exclusive? I know my PP01c was discounted and I'm pretty sure igear is selling the entire PP line exclusively i'n' there store, so what does it all mean?

Dropping this kind of cash, especially for a KO

So iGear is considered a Ko company now? Not a 3rd party? or is it 1 in the same?

That's true. They did do a good job. I grant you that the term KO has a negative association with inferior product. Rightly so, for the most part.

The joints are tight. The parts were scaled down perfectly. Everything is there. Compared to my 20th anniversary MP OP from toys'r'us (from eBay), the colors were miles ahead. What about poseability? It's fantastic! Not weighed down by a heap of metal, PP01 can hold any pose you are able to put him in!! Scale? He fits perfectly with my classics / universe 2.0 / generations collection!
I own 1 each of mp01 prime (Has and Tak) and 2 each of all the other Takara MPs, including ...King Grimlock. I have the Hasbro Seekers to date and will get TC when available as well as Grimlock. I will be getting the PP03 series. If Has/Tak chooses to release the 2nd string Seekers, I will get 2 of each as usual. To say Has/tak has lost money from me is incorrect. With no plans of making a mini MP Prime, igear stepped up and filled a niche for a very small group of people.
I love my Mini MP Primes.
Igear has excellent quality control, they postponed the release of their figures because of flaws and provided detailed reasons why. Their post sales customer service is incredible, in my experience, on par with BBTS. this company should not be labeled a KO company and just leave it at that, they produce high quality products for the fans who want them. In my opinion the price of the PP01 figure compared to MP01is fine, I feel PP01 is better product. MP01 has a great design, PP01 allows you to play with it.

It seems like most people on the forum have been using the term "KO" simply to mean a copy of something and not necessarily refer to the quality of the product. If people refer to poor quality, they often type "cheap KO" or something to that effect.

Agreed. I'm simply saying that referring to Faith Leader as a KO isn't necessarily harsh as people here often use "KO" broadly to mean a copy.
