    The toys don't have the rub signs despite the panel on the back of the box explaining that Authentic TFs have the rub signs.

    Now maybe there were some odd packages that this happened for so I can't say 100% but I am wary.

    Even with the guide it looks too close to really tell 100%. Plus the seller is a noob (to Ebay), too I guess.

    I'd steer clear anyway. KOs have screwed those figures up too much for me that I don't trust any at all and thus will never buy any. I treat all boxed tapes like that as KOs these days.

    If it is a KO, the Seller has gone to great lengths to make it appear genuine... (Card's a little banged up, bubbles are depressed etc.)

    Hard to tell from the pics. The things that may mark it as KO maybe the "tape" sticker. There should be a bit of the tape roll printed on the right. The spring for the head is also quite strong on KO Frenzys forcing the arms out.

    And he didn't keep it for 20++ odd years....

    Check out his feedback and you'd find that he bought it from Italy for ard AUD55 in September....

    So something must be wrong to be rid off pretty quickly.

    The CSI: Ebay team are on the case.

    Very good thinking to check the feedback! The toys in that Italian Auction are clearly KOs (as it's 'Rumble' on a Frenzy card) but it doesn't match the photo of what the local seller is selling.

    Still it doesn't help the seller's case.

    He's just gone to such trouble to state that it isn't a KO.

    Should one of us (or all of us) send him a message that this auction is being discussed on an unnamed forum by 'experts' and we've unanimously concluded that it is a KO?
