Is this a Knock Off? (post here for help)

[MEEEGGGAAATTTRRROOONNN!!!]

I saw quite a few Comic Book versions of MP Grimlock on ebay today, for around $100 with free shipping from China.
They've got to be KOs at that price... which is a shame, as the real thing is a lot more expensive, and these KOs will start showing up at that price (if not already), fooling people into thinking it is the real thing.

Most likely fake listings i'd say.

Or that.

Either way, it's not good for fans.

I think the second run is selling below $200 before which seems being cleared out by toystory_world

Were all the MP Lambor KOs marked as “Takasa Tony” on the box? A mate has an option for a seemingly cheap one, apparently sealed, Takara Tomy on the box. Price seems a little too good to be true.

Edit: never mind, I think I found an answer on highendtfs.

But just to answer for the players at home, yes KO versions in regular TT packaging are common, I think the Takasa ones were a very poor attempt at avoiding copyright
