KO Abominous alert

So glad I already have Abominus. If I didn't already have these toys, I would try to get them ASAP -- before the KOs start proliferating the aftermarket.

I just saw a listing for loose Abominus in an auction site, being sold among other 'remakes'. Not eBay, but I expect they will pop up

The combiner Abominous is being listed for preorder on various stores. I'm not sure whether these are just stock photos of someone's loose collection, or the final product. But if you start to see many loose but complete pieces of this combiner team on ebay, consider yourself forewarned :)

They are loose? Not in packaging?

If they are, that's even worse as they will intermix with loose legit samples. You won't know if the accessory you bought is legit or not.

Thank goodness Ive completed these guys way before. 2nd combiner I ever got actually. The previous KOs released had obvious differences like brighter whites and cheap looking plastic easily spotted even in pics. plus they had incomplete members which was swapped with 2 members from Computron - this one looks all solid to from Abominus , hmmmm tis getting harder to spot.

Makes me think though could there be an Encore Abominus on the pipeline and somehow these molds are somehow "leaked" that the KO makers rush to make their own? I don't wanna be a conspiracy advocate or something but the factory IP security in China isn't exactly exemplary.

Not every episode. Nearly there. Seen him though. Not exactly my fave.

Yeah I have always failed to see the appeal. Both in the toy and in fiction.
