Just a little public service on KO listings (HA Barricade)

This is the KO 2.0 version where they have corrected the split by moving the POLICE word slightly to the left so the split looks identical to the official Hasbro one. But by doing this, the entire POLICE word is off center compared to the spoiler section (more black space on the right).

Hmm bummer. I may have bought a KO as well. The "Police" and "643" writing on my bot is in silver paint, but the box has hasbro australia on the bottom. Also, the grill doesn't have the bit that sticks out. Did they make KO hasbro australia boxes?

not too sure on this, but it should be easier to fake the boxes than the actual figures. You can pretty much tell if the bot has loose joints, rough paint apps, sections that don't tab too well etc then its most likely a KO

There were a couple of takara releases (most recently the APS-03 release) which may have different molding and fixed the grille section, but not 100% sure on this

Thank you den10 for sharing your detailed police work

I passed on moderately well priced (roughly 75% of eBay) HA Barricades in HK 5 years ago. At the time he was highly sought after and it was known that incredibly hard to identify KOs were floating around. Good to know I made the right choice!
