Ebay KO more of them?

[ecl27]

Man never thought they had so many KO. Didnt know they had springer, cassettes, Sunstreaker and even Reflector. Damn too scared to buy off ebay these days.

The cassettes and Reflector have been around for a while now, however Springer and Sunstreaker are relatively new.

The best advice I can give is to avoid buying loose figures if you can because many of these are hard to spot when out-of-the-box if you aren't aware of the slight differences. If it's something you really want, request additional photos / information from the seller.

good advice. very often you can't even tell they are KO by looking at photos of loose specimens. You'd have to physically hold them to tell, but by then, it would be too late.

Unless the loose figure has some form of minor aging or play wear. But I've heard that some KO sellers artificially age their toys on purpose.

I have heard that also, and would not even be suprised if they did that. They just want to sell their cheap cr@p KO's and don't care about who buys it. They would have caught on that people would look for signs of aging, normally that's what I would look for. Even in this day and age we have to be careful of that as well.

so now buyers can't even get a mint toy without feeling secured that its not a KO. They have to settled for an 'aged' toy, which still might be a KO in the end.

Man, this KO BS is f**k up.

When I first got my Reflector, I freaked - I thought that I had a KO as it has some differences to other Reflectors I had seen. Luckily I checked mine in the variations page (which went down when Geocities did) and it was just a variation rather than a KO.

I don't even know if mine is legit either. I think it is but I can't be sure. It's too late for me to take any photos, but what are the telltale signs?

Is yours the Camera Robo Microx?

I'd be interested to hear what differences you found as an out of the box KO Reflector is difficult to tell apart from a real one.

The only differences that I know of are - factory stickers are not applied, and the missle tree is different.

Kup's is just a variant of the original, not a KO. Though you are right that they are hard to tell apart.
