If Ratbat can't be bought separately I'm going to put serious thought to getting a knockoff Ratbat even if it's a knockoff G1 Ratbat.

Any figure that comes with swords demands wrist articulation.
Getting a KO Ratbat isn't going to affect TakaraTOMY one iota. All it's going to do is potentially further harm other fans by sustaining the illegal counterfeit industry which aims to deceive collectors. KOs only affect companies when they're knocking off a current toy (e.g. KO MP Lambor). Knocking off a toy that HasTak hasn't produced in 27 years isn't really going to make a difference to them. And do you really want to have a fake in your collection? Eewww...
Getting a legit G1 Ratbat isn't going to reward TakTOM either, because you're going to be getting a second hand toy (even if it's MOSC, it would've already been purchased from retail long ago). That way you can still have your G1 Ratbat toy, but without contributing to an illegal industry that seeks to harm your fellow collectors. TakaraTOMY won't care either way -- the best way you can voice your complaint to Hasbro or TakTOM is to simply not purchase their product; we all vote with our wallets.![]()
