    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.

    To be fair, KO Toys was never deceptive in the stock they sold as all KOs were clearly labeled as such. The buyer always knew what he was purchasing.

    I don't think KOToys was never any significant distribution point of KOs. Ebay has always been the main distributor and on top of that, the KO sellers there are far less scrupulous in their item description often referring to them as 'reissues' or as 'G1' with an actual intent of deceiving the buyer.

    That's exactly what I was referring to It was also a bit of a 'tongue-in-cheek' statement

    So glad I already have Abominus. If I didn't already have these toys, I would try to get them ASAP -- before the KOs start proliferating the aftermarket.

    I just saw a listing for loose Abominus in an auction site, being sold among other 'remakes'. Not eBay, but I expect they will pop up
