    Default Amusing KO Movie Barricade

    Saw this today at an unnamed location:



    I haven't seen anything like this before. I didn't look at it in too much detail but it almost seems to be 10% larger than a deluxe with the legend's transformation. Made of a hideous looking plastic. But yeah, it's the packaging that slays me. Terrible resolution too. It almost like it could have been made on an inkjet. And I'm pretty sure it's a scene out of the video game.

    Was this spotted in one of those Toystores that sell nothing but KOs? Or was it a $2 shop...

    This was a Toy Kingdom. Well the ones I saw it at anyway. Was this Epping, Jay? Was there very much there (centre-wise) if that's where it's from.

    There's a whole cringe factor about the KO for me. Just shows how easily it is for Hasbro to really drop the ball if they wanted to. I hope of course that we never find ourselves in such a situation.

    Good place to practise repainting I suppose (only if it was cheap)

    The packaging is so bad, it's almost good!

    I think that is enough to trick a less knowledgeable parent into buying it, particularly if its in a proper toy store and not a $2 or bargain shop.
