Might be best to refrain from naming particular sites here that sell knock-offs or replicas guys. The enthusiasm is great, but Griffin did bring this matter up earlier. If you really really really want to know, then best to do a private message to follow up....
We all freaked last month when tfw2005 went down that Hasbro was doing a crackdown on third party and KOs
On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

Was that the actual reason it went down?

No. Mass hysteria from alot of people though. They were doing server maintenance or something.

Got my Ratbat today!
Paint job on the cassette face is flawless and build quality seems on par with the other MP cassettes; maybe not quite as tight as the Laserbeak (but that's a good thing as kup will tell you!).
A couple faults that all seem to match with what people on TFW have said:
- one of the boosters on his back doesn't sit perfectly flush (90º) in bat mode. Doesn't bother me cause you can tilt the other one to match
- he has a tiny scuff on the black chest piece. No big deal, a black marker will cover it up
- a few tiny sprue marks that are probably no worse than the real one
All in all, very happy for the price, hope you guys get yours soon too!

I'm noticing those mold seams on pics people are posting.
Any figure that comes with swords demands wrist articulation.

Yeah mine are all in the same spots... i don't know what the real Ratbat is like in that regard, but i think if it bothered you, it's nothing a nail file couldn't clean up.
And here's a pic!

I received, opened and transformed back and forth my KO MP Ratbat.
Based on my previous experience with the official 'winged' tapes, this KO Ratbat has better quality control than the Hasbro/Tak-Tom releases. The plastic is of comparable quality and the odd paint flaws are no different than the ones you see in contemporary official toys.
Flaws: Some gold paint smear in the booster on the purple part - Easily fixed with some rubbing alcohol.
One booster does not sit at a perfect 90 degree angle but very close - Annoying but no where near as bad when compared with my Legit laserbeak/Buzzsaw experience.
This KO was a good investment and ended up with a superior satisfied experience than forking out the money for the official stuff that is broken and badly assembled.
Sad, sad times when the KO item is of superior quality and value than the legit article.
