    Default Buyer beware: KO MP Seekers incoming

    There's a thread on TFW discussing soon to be released KO MP Seekers starting with Thundercracker and Skywarp around late March to April. They don't seem to oversized figures and no prod or box shots so could be something similar to a Takasa Tony type KO( direct copy). Just be careful if you order from sellers you are not familiar with around that time or that are offering some kind of "preorder" now. Also in the pipeline are Acidstorm and Sunstorm.

    Looking at that thread, apparently there are two companies doing KOs -- Wukong and KuBianBao:



    TF Upgrader also has a gallery of a prototype KO which claims to be the same size as MP-11, sporting an additional head, better waist rotation, more diecast parts and more durable plastic, although not sure which of the two companies it belongs to.

    Hopefully the price is competitive, because that regular-sized KO Prime had shocking QC and a steep tag!

    Wow. These looks nice! WILL DEFINITELY buy.

    If QC issues do exists then I'll have to pass it to my kids.

    Hopefully no major QC issue.
    I like to think "its pointless thinking about how much it costs if you really want it"....

    Gotta say I really love the colours on Acidstorm and Sunstorm, moreso than the official versions.

    I actually like the digital camo on Acid Storm, he looks rather plain with just the stripes.

    I have both the TT and hasbro version but still prefer this colour scheme. It seems similar to the ehobby version and that's why it get my pick.
