I got in a sample of this figure today and thought I would share a little bit. I will just post images here - there are a lot of them so bear with me.

































It seems these are getting better with each release. This figure is good and tight, transforms well, poses well, joints fit and is just overall awesome. The Chinese Police deco is very well done and you can see on the box that there are 4 different versions of this figure available through these guys. The body parts are done in a subtle grey this time instead of ivory making the look of the robot mode very nice indeed. If these keep up in quality, who knows where it will go. I will have to get an Alt Prowl and do a side by side comparison very soon to see if there are a whole lot of differences in plastic quality and overall construction. But that will be for a future review......

Spencer.

 

Thanks for the review Spencer, can't wait till mine comes in along with the blue one  

 

I absolutely NEED one of these.

***EDIT***

Just bought one on eBay from HK. Hopefully it will get here safe and sound. I have a phobia for ordering overseas.

But alas, Beatdown will join my ALT ranks!

 

I got one of these off a fellow board member, not too bad at all for a KO, though for somereason I feel sick touching it, maybe lead paint, it does have an odd smell to it....
other than that its great, now to figure out who to make it.

 

If you bought it from funexport2007, in my personal experiance you shouldnt have any problems. I bought a couple of ko's from them before and they were fine.

Even when the first one got lost in the mail they resent with no fuss.

Btw Beatdown. Cool name. I just call mine Chip 

 

I got mine from toyslandco. It was a BIN of $1.99 and $25 shipping.

I'm slapping 'Con badges on mine as soon as he gets here. One more for the ALT 'Con ranks!

 

Mine is in the works to be a G2 soundwave, the gobot one.

 

I'll be doing the same as well and dying the limbs blue and painting the head blue as well. Need more Alt Decepticons  

 

I had just gotten the money in my PayPal account tonight to buy that auction.  

 

I just bid on the blue version from funexport07, reading your review kind of helped me deciede...

Ether it's going to be Nightbeat with the extra model parts from an Integra tunner kit or an unamed (Atm) con...

 

Blame Cataclizm1 for showing me that auction!  

I need a blue one too.  

 

Got one! W00t!


[*just don't tell Alt Mirage  ]

 

Bought one from the same guy a couple weeks ago. He sent me an email that he had put a wrong address on it and it came back. He reshipped yesterday. Bought the one that look likethe Japanese lettering about a month ago from someone else on eBay. A little loose, but overall not bad for a KO.

 

Really glad to hear the quality's decent on this one. Communist Prowl will be mine.

 

Hopefully yours will get to you safe as a gauge of how mine and SQ7's will get here.  

'Beak! Awesome sig and avatar man!

And yes, Beatdown will be working for The People!

 

I just won the blue one for 9.99+20.00 S&H now my question is should a apply for the 3.00 insurance as well? like just incase?

 

Up to you i s'pose. I didnt and mine got here safe and sound. If you want to make sure it arrives why not its only $3.

When i ordered KO White Hound from Funexport (Formerly Kenscollection i think) it got lost but they resent no hassle.

 

I wanted to get tracking on mine but forgot.  

 

Dammit mine came and it was missing the rear right tail light. The red translucent part. Also the silver on the left front wheel is pretty much non-existent. Also lots of loose joints from pins not being fully pushed in.

Love the Chinese Police detailing though.

 

Hopefully mine will arrive in better condition...
