Buyer beware: KO MP Shockwave

In what may be a record time we have our first sightings of a KO MP Shockwave on eBay. News posted by TFW member DeathsheadII.

Unfortunately not a Takasa Tony so no clear markings on the box or figure but the thread above has some comparison pics of what to look for if in hand.

Perhaps due to the trade off of not painting the toy made it very easy.

They should of made it a darker shade of purple. They would make a killing.

I have no idea what these Ko companies are thinking.

I thought soundwave was going to be Ko but i don't think they done it.

Available for purchase on TF-Direct. Given the timelines I'd almost HAVE to suspect these are factory rejects being sold out the back door.

That's what I think as well -- the pic with the misalignment could easily be a QC reject:

With hobby search at half price, you got to be crazy to buy a Ko for this.
