    I bet the KO was probably made in the same factory as the real figures too. What's stopping the contractor company from making 'extra' figures using the same molds at their own cost?
    Yep, that's the gist of my 2nd sentence.

    Also notice what looks like a classics style of flip thing on the package? Actually, the packaging looks like the classics one.

    Ok, I just reported him to ebay, and have contacted hasbro.

    It's a KO of the Voyager sized Prime. Very disappointing. The delay of six months releasing the toys probably made this possible, as it usually takes that long for a KO to be generated from an actual toy. It would mean that this would have been from a stolen toy though, as the Voyager Prime still hasn't even been released officially yet.

    But the factory is probably the same one that makes real TFs!

    Yeah, they don't just replicate the toys. They KO the packaging sometimes as well. The Legends KOs I found last year at the Warehouse were packed in the small Titaniums style packaging (plastic shape and card graphics).
