    What bugs me is Starscream grey plastic, it's very poor even for the original.

    Yeah, that's an area where they could've surpassed the original! Why bother to include more diecast but skimp on the paint?

    It doesn't need to be painted but the grey has to be well mould not with swirls marks. And just making it white would have gotten them buyers.

    Good point -- I wasn't looking too closely at the plastic, just not a fan of that grey in general.

    I hope that people are reporting these counterfeits to eBay staff.

    I don't see any point, TT themselves are not hitting these Ko hard enough and allow these to float.

    If you are silly to spend so much on a Ko then you deserve to learn it the hard way.

    The listing clearly states it's not an official figure and is a copy, so I don't think eBay has the power to do anything.

    If it were masquerading as the real thing, then I think eBay would act.
