KO Abominous alert

I'm just going to link to the image, rather than providing a direct link to the site. If you're curious enough and savvy, you'd be able to find it anyway, but per the board's policy on not actively promoting toys that infringe on Has/Tak IP I won't provide the hyperlink



The combiner Abominous is being listed for preorder on various stores. I'm not sure whether these are just stock photos of someone's loose collection, or the final product. But if you start to see many loose but complete pieces of this combiner team on ebay, consider yourself forewarned

Thanks for the heads up.

Are there any identification guides?

[Hursticon]

Oh man, I am so friggin' glad that I managed to complete my own (Sans a couple of the 'limbs' guns) before this bull-crap hit.

Are there any identification guides?

Won't know until it is released, for people to do up a guide to spot the fakes.

Well it's good to see that the production of KO's has slowed since the supposed shut-down of KOToys

Yeah, I dont know why they keep making combiners - I mean they don't sell for that much (160-200) and the prices for g1 transformers has dropped considerably in the last 12 months.

Thank goodness Ive completed these guys way before. 2nd combiner I ever got actually. The previous KOs released had obvious differences like brighter whites and cheap looking plastic easily spotted even in pics. plus they had incomplete members which was swapped with 2 members from Computron - this one looks all solid to from Abominus , hmmmm tis getting harder to spot.

Makes me think though could there be an Encore Abominus on the pipeline and somehow these molds are somehow "leaked" that the KO makers rush to make their own? I don't wanna be a conspiracy advocate or something but the factory IP security in China isn't exactly exemplary.

he produced zero KO's
he just sold them

Good point, but I think he was referring to KOToys as their primary method of distribution. It drove sales of KO, and there are now relatively few places to obtain them now. It might just change their business model and viability of future releases.

They are loose? Not in packaging?
