That's true. That's the problem with KOs - down the track, someone will think it is real and try to sell it as such. Fans might think it is okay when they are released and think collectors will know how to recognise it as a fake, but don't think about the victims months or years later who fall for them.

The thing is that I can see someone buying it and keeping it for years thinking is real and then selling it as such with the buyer never realizing it either. Eventually, they may become indistinguishable from the real thing with many collectors unknowingly assuming it's real.

Unlike most KOs, these look legit unless you have a guide to tell you what to look for which many collectors do not know about. As I have found out over the last few years of meeting some local collectors through random opportunity, a few don't have any online presence whatsoever and some are oblivious to Transformers online communities so their knowledge about these sort of thing is limited at best.
