More KOs, cyclonus & scourge and Wheeljack

[MV75]

Yes, they have way too far now:

At least there is a guide on cyclonus, even if it's by the scummy baggy (looks like he's lifted his game and doesn't do that crap anymore), that sells the damn things:

Every KO is yet another figure that I'm turned off buying 2nd hand because of doubts.

Shame, I still need a Scourge. What's more worrying to me is the pic of Wheeljack next to it.

Good thing I already got these figures but it is a shame for people looking for them on ebay as it has now become a minefield.

Although the boxes seem to have subtle but identifyable differences (thanks for pointing out the guide, MV75) you have to know exactly what to look for. Now since ebay has been cracking on KOs recently, its possible that there will be a flood of 'loose' Cyclonuses and Scourges on Ebay. These are the real danger as its almost impossible to tell the differences from an auction pic.

I recommend buying more trustworthy sellers of loose figures such as Transformerland.

My thoughts exactly. What about all those KO boxes in the background? *shakes head*

Well if you really want one and wish to pay 300% the ebay market value of a legit G1 figure, you can always go to the KO dealers at the Parra Fair

At least the missing rub sticker on cyclonus and the wrong coloured sticker on scourge will identify them, but it's not hard to get around that for the really determined ebay scum.

Yeah, they just spend a couple o dollars on rub stickers from reprolables(?) and their Cyclonus toys would look legit on ebay photos. And what of the legit ones that lost their rub stickers (like many of my old toys that I got second hand)? I think it will be a lot harder for fans to sell their toys, without false accusations, or just less bids from people not wanting to take the risk.

I don't understand how can people make the figure looks so genuine though? How can you tell that they are KO if you don't put 2 and 2 side by side?

I hate KOs.
