I'm hardly in denial. The proof is in the pudding. Well over 20 years on the original before the peace broke. 3 days on the KO before it broke.
I don't deny original is better. I know that. I bought KO because original won't ever be/or hasn't been re-issued and I wanted MIB without giving my right arm for it. I just didn't expect KO to brake so quickly. At least it's not a major part of him like an arm or a foot. Just a snap-on accessory.
