    Got it to play. Looks worth the $34.

    I read online that Pocket Toys is allegedly a sister company of sorts to DX9/Unique Toys. Anyone here have any clue if that's the case. Seems like a real bizarre move to knock off your own figure, but stranger things have happened.

    I am confused, seems like there are 2 KO from DX9 Richtofen:

    Art of Duplicates AoD-01 Hit Plane Powerglide

    Pocket Toys PT-01 Glider of Sky Powerglide

    Prices are diferent too, for AoD: 44,99$ and for Pocket Toys: 34,99$ these are the prices at Showzstore.

    Anyone got more info regarding diferences between this two?

    I am keen to get an affordable MP Powerglide, but at this point I think I will wait to see which version is better.

    TF-Direct has Pocket Toys for 34.95 incl shipping and AoD for 29.95 incl shipping if you take in account their 5 dollar off coupon.

    No one really has concrete information as we're only starting to see production samples I think. Best to wait it out until they're both released. It's a bit like the MP36 KO saga, just gotta wait it out

    Huh. The prices have changed. AoD is now $35 and pocket toys is now $39.

    Also, I should point out that, in the Chinese review for pocket toys that we saw a few days ago along with the images on Tf-Direct, the paintjob on the girl was atrocious. I'm not terrible worried about that cuz my wife and I are both proficient at painting minis (if I even decide to display her at all) but I worry what that might say about the overall quality of Powerglide.

    [Edit] oh, nevermind. AoD is cheaper now but doesn't include free shipping anymore. With $8 shipping, he comes out to $43.

    Well thats all good, no hurries as there is still plenty of stock of the original (seems like). Will wait pantienly for some reviewers to take a look.

    Right away seem they will have diferences in the paint.

    DX9 is lucky these KOs didn't drop before their 2nd run dropped.

    Looks pretty good, and no gap on the tail section. However, it looks to be either unpainted plastic or the finish isn't as slick as the DX9.

    Neither. Nobody has enough information or the figures in hand to compare. I would hang tight, as based on the photos so far, paint apps are a bit crappy.

    Wish they up scaled him vs a straight KO.
