    Got my replacement head and hands from Shapeways today, and proceeded to attach them to the CHMS KO:

    [​IMG]

    Everything fits in nice and easy; a couple layers of paint might be enough for a tighter, more secure fit, which is ideal.

    More importantly, the head retracts perfectly into the chest cavity, simply by turning it sideways; as it turns out, there's absolutely no excuse for that ridiculously small TFCC head (nor any reason why CHMS couldn't have redesigned the head for their release).

    Transformation remains unaffected, of course.

    See how well Calloway75's custom parts fit in there?

    Can't wait to get these parts finished and painted!

    A third party could make a killing off of a bigger head. Still waiting though.....

    No extra gun with the CHMS one then ?

    Pop up lights might be possible with this mould.. especially if the existing ones are half falling out.

    new spoiler. pop up lights, new head and new gun would be nice.

    Is this thing supposed to come with his bio-card? Probably doesn't matter because it's just a KO, but curious if mine was missing or they just didn't do them. Just seems odd that they'd put the effort into doing the box but not the card...

    CHMS doesnt come with the bio-card. The box only comes with the instructions.

    That orange paint on the chest looks kind of thin in some areas. The blue shows through.

    Prefer Punch without the faceplate, so while very cool, doesn't do anything for me.

    I got the hands in black. Being able to move the thumbs is great. I didn't get the head though cuz didn't want to bother with painting. I'll just stick with the original tiny head til someone comes out a head already painted.

    So I picked up a KO Classic Punch/Counterpunch for less than $60. This figure is really cool.
    [​IMG]

    The colors are the same as the original…up to a certain point. The original has bright yellow and bright red on the wheels. The KO version has the same colors…but they are not as vibrant. They are dull and not as bright as the original. But it doesn’t detract from the figure. Everything else is the same as the original. The head is a little small in my opinion…and yet it all fits well with everything. The legs for Punch have them facing a completely different way from other incarnations and really make it difficult to stand him up…let alone pose him. So I had to adjust his legs in such a way that will allow him to stand up without falling over.
    [​IMG]

    Counterpunch is perfect in my opinion. The exception would be his fist…they are upside down. But that is due to the fact that it’s really Punch in disguised as Counter Punch. However, you can switch the fist around so that they would be right-side up. The gun is black and so is the “engine” thing that goes on top of the car.
    [​IMG]

    As far as the quality…I can’t really tell a difference from this KO to an original. They are the same to me. The joints are tight…and I think they are tighter on this figure than some of the originals. I like that a lot. The plastic is on the same level as the originals. It doesn’t feel cheap. The details are all there. This KO can pass as an original if the recipient doesn’t do their homework. Even the box is a great KO! It really looks like the original with the same quality and stuff and with the inside padding. It’s really cool. The only thing you don’t get with this figure is the tech spec card. Other than that…it’s great!

    I am extremely happy with this purchase. If you want this figure…then get the original. But if you live on a budget and can’t afford to spend more than $150++ on it then get this KO!! The more I mess with this figure the more I want to get another. And they both will both cost me less than one original figure for over $150+! :)

    Out of curiosity, I held a KO G2 Breakdown at Botcon Dallas and found the thighs to be very loose and shakey to the point where it affected posing. Does this P/CP have the same issue? I was looking to pick up some of these when Breakdown and Deep Cover comes out so I wonder if that was an issue that got fixed between G2 Breakdown and P/CP.

    I've mostly heard people saying everything is tight on P/CP. But if there are loose joints just slap some floor polish on it and it'll be tight by the next day.
