What do you know about KO's.

Post by Deszaras »

This will be helpful. list whatever you know about Ko versions of TF's. Box differences, figure differences etc. Just so we can help reduce the DOH! factor from some new purchases.

Example:

KO devastator:

Different shade of green to standard version. Mostly shipped from taiwan, hong kong or china.

Any more hints/tips for avoiding the horrors of a KO. Place them here.

I remember i've found a list with all the official reissues some time ago but i can't find it now,i'll search a bit more later.
Far over the Misty Mountains cold, To dungeons deep and caverns old. The pines were roaring on the height, The winds were moaning in the night, The fire was red, it flaming spread, The trees like torches blazed with light.

The main problem with KOs is that they surface again and again, besides their provenance is rather obscure.

In my opinion is better to throw in certain figure and after that, track all official and unofficial versions of it around.

I dont have many KOs but the two i do have (Devestator and Superion) are kinda cheap. Devestators plastic feels about the same as some real TFs but the stickers are different. as for Superion some of his joints arnt fitted right and the stickers are all wrong. it seems to be the same mold so im just going to get some replica stickers and put them on. other than that they are the same colors. I have seen some KOs that were better quality than the originals.
