KO MP Prowl

[tinyJazz]

Just a heads up dudes. It's been out for a week or so now.

Actionfigurechecklist.
8bitboy on tfw2005 did an amusing comparison comic. At least it points out the major differences.

wow, the box is non glossy as well this makes it real hard. But saying that you can get the original at maybe $10 more than the original RRP.

And no doubt we'll be seeing a KO Bluestreak & Smokecreen shortly

Streak yes, Smokescreen maybe harder due to the skirting. And of course I be not too laughing if they decide to release the Diaclone version before Takara does.

But, but... an ex-member here single-handedly shut down KOToys and assured us all that the proliferation of KO toys would never happen again

I dunno where that info came from, I be really surprised if their paint job come as close as the original.

A KO Prowl? Whah? Seems like a lot of effort for little return

Too many KOs of current releases... This is seriously getting out of hand
These are current toys still readily available on the market so this will dupe many newbies.
I'm happy that I chose to stay away from the current Masterpieces due to scale.
With these KOs, I'm more unlikely to change my mind as I can't keep up with what's real and what's not.

If you get them from Japanese online stores, they are all original. I will not say the same for Hong kong online stores, as that is the source of where KOs are appearing from apart from China.

The scale is unlikely to ever change anymore, they are too far in. I hate that they done it, but there is nothing you can do. Annoying as it is, I have moved on and collected what is available of what I like. So far the scaling did not affected my interest as I split MP1 and Megatron to the Binaltech shelf.

Try and not let the scale bug you too much. Is a pain but I let it go.

I understand the change in scale was probably more due to costs, profit margins and to keep the figures affordable but it just throws the original MP collection off a bit... That plus the binaltech stuff.
I do appreciate the newer figures tho...
I just don't buy em
Must resist...................
