This isn't a surprise to me, everytime I'm on eBay, thinking about buying Masterpieces I usually avoid the cheaper ones as they are most of the time KO's (thankfully they say they are KO's)

this is the most disappointing product, I hope they get shut down.

TAKASA TONY??? At least packaging shows it is obviously KO and not much of spot the tiny difference...

If we can't prevent accurate KOs, the least they can do is have something obvious to identify them, on the toy and packaging... so at least the packaging of this one has something on it to identify it from online listings.
And if there is something obvious on the toy out of packaging, even better.

Nice pick up. I miss the days when there are obvious mistakes in KOs.

There's also a "C" on the bottom left of the box where the autobot symbol goes.

Yeah, but these obscure errors aren't always quickly picked up at first glance and may only be noticed after purchase. Not all buyers are actively wary of counterfeits. And the "TAKASA" thing is most likely a typo rather than a deliberate choice by the counterfeiters to 'help' collectors distinguish their filthy fakes from the legit figures.

Hopefully Hasbro's release of MP Wheeljack here will work to diminish the potential number of Aussies who might get stung by this thing. But I fear that there may be some collectors who missed out on getting both the TakTOM and Hasbro version who might be deceived by this fake. There are a lot of more casual collectors of Transformers who collect MPs; many of them don't have the savvy or knowledge to look out for counterfeits. Heck, let's face it, many of us more enthusiastic collectors have been unwittingly stung before. Gah... this is why I despise counterfeits so much!
