    Default Custom Chrome G1 Figures

    Anyone noticed these appearing on EBay ?

    Custom G1 Optimus Prime

    Custom Chrome G1 Reflector

    Custom Chrome G1 Cyclonus

    What's everyone's thoughts on these ? Would anyone here buy one...?

    Are they a novelty, or do they hold the same stigma as a "normal" KO?

    The Reflector ones are interesting, prime... been overdone, Cyclonus.. interesting choice to chrome.. but personally NO i would not purchase one, its fiddly to keep and play with coz your always thinking of chipping the chrome. It would be most likely for display only but the novelty usually wears off after quickly.

    Looks like someone has been trying to recreate the feel of The Golden Lagoon.

    Meh... I don't see the point of them. They don't appeal to me at all. I don't even really see the point of the official chromed toys either... their only novelty is their rarity as lucky draw prize exclusives. I have one because I actually won it as a draw prize. AllSpark forbid I ever BUY one!!! lololoolololllol``!!`!1~

    They are KOs.

    The quality of the chrome will look cheap when real thing is in your hand.
