Not sure. All the carded figures look, to my admittedly inexpert eye, to be unopened. They're described in the listing as new so there would most likely be grounds for a claim if they turned out not to be.
haha i thought i'd throw some bids in there to see if i could beat the autobid, i gave up at 155the combaticons are so tempting though am am a sucker for the g2 colros
That person doesn't sell custom figures. They are usually a source of factory figures... so does that mean this is an upcoming item... similar to the Linkin Park Soundwave? (a new direction for Hasbro - celebrity partnership exclusives?)
I just had a look, and it is indeed a news item, as a potential exclusive or promo figure, that may not have eventuated.

I was thinking the same about a similar item that was released in a similar fashion a couple of years ago - a Classicsverse/Henkei Blue Bumblebee (Glyph). It was sold by an Asia-based eBay seller that had access to figures not yet released, and did not look like KO (although at one stage there was a few being sold on a known KO/group website). These guys sold between $250-500.

Found a completed listing of something I thought was pretty damn awesome to look at.
