    Thanks Kup. I'm a little worried about my shutter gun for Spectro.

    I wanted to pose him in my cabinet holding his gun, but changed my mind later and removed it. The 'handle' snapped off into the peg hole

    I bought a replacement on Ebay but the plastic quality seems different to the one I had (it seems lighter).

    Any chance that you know how to tell if it is a fake?

    If it seems lower quality, I'm only speculating, but it maybe a KO.

    I am afraid that without consulting to the now gone Geocities verifications page, all that I can do is speculate.

    A broken gun peg can happen to any version of Reflector, both legit and KO since the pegs are very thing while the weapons are very large. However I have dropped my Reflector I don't know how many times from the shelf and the guns have never broken.

    After I broke one of my Darkwing gun pegs, I made a rule never to push a G1 gun too far into the peg hole - Only enough for him to hold it firmly. Thankfully I managed to secure a new gun at the Parra Fair.

    No worries. Thanks Kup

    I'm not all that fussed about it cause it's only his weapon. The seller told me that it was a legit shutter gun so maybe it's just a little faded after being displayed too close to a window.

    The quality seems spot-on as far as plastic used.

    The worst thing about KO's is not the toy itself, but when the accessories are sold loose because there is almost no way of telling.

    I know the Microx flash cube does not sit nice and snug on the peg(whats his names head) and the quality is alot worse than hasbro/takara one. The chrome on the legs is also a bit differnet. Cant compare now as I sold it for $5. lol

    Not sure about the KO - touch wood I will never find out in person!

    There is a reflector on AU Ebay at the moment http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....=STRK:MEWAX:IT

    At the bottom seller said they found him in a garage sale.
