    I had that thing a few years back. It's nice, definitely a great reproduction, but since it's a bootleg, nowhere near the worth of the originals.

    Not to mention, these actually STINK. No, seriously, there's a strong rubber odor, or something. I don't know if it's mold release oil or what, but it literally stunk.

    Semi-interested in this item but not willing to pay over $400 for it. I would pay like $100-$150. But then again, I got better things to get instead of a KO.

    Yea, personally I think there is some shill bidding going on because that is worth no where near $400. I've seen alot of TF stuff coming from Italy recently on ebay going for really high prices. Plus like hotspot said, the price just seems to keep going up daily in similar increments. The box is in great condition at least. Who thinks up these KO names? biological chemistry?WTF?

    These are them vintage KOs, that were made in taiwan. They started off with taiwanese packagings & names. Then got literally translated into english when repacked for export to overseas market.
