Just though I would share a bit of info on this guy since not all differences are noted on other websites. Hopefully it makes sense!

Questions / Comments welcomed!!! No info on accessories unfortunatly.

Almost impossible to distinguish from the original MISB.
Does not come with factory stickers applied. They are on a seperate sticker sheet.
The missiles of the original come attached on a 4-sided rectangular plastic tree. On the counterfeit, the tree is missing its left side.
The factory tape is old. Regardless of storage, especially being on a white box, its impossible for the tape to stay perfectly clear over all these years.
KO Reflector box cardboard is slightly thinner than original.

Inside the box:
KO comes with an extra decal sheet for unapplied factory decals.
The polystyrene tray is made of less-dense foam/poly cells, in otherwords its a cheaper grade.
On official g1 poly/foam tray inserts, they all have many many circles stamped on them on the top side. These circles have 6 lines running through them. Counterfeits including reflector do not have this pattern. This is an instant give-away on foam trays, but is often hard to see in photos with alot of lighting and are better viewed up close.
Spyglass has a darker blue paintjob on his metal chest.
Viewfinder has a big giveaway. Viewfinders arms are of course grey/silver plastic. on an original, viewfinders forearms have perfect plastic mix and colouration consistancy. On a ko, the plastic isnt mixed as well and you can see a wash in the plastic.
