How to tell the new KO Reissues apart from authentic toys.

doubleclouderr · 12-20-2008, 02:25 AM

one of the first few things when I am not sure if its a KO or authentic is to ask around, esp in a forum like these where there are alot of inputs. And yea, they get answered pretty fast when people come together and interact

I just bought two MISB Omega Supremes from TF Source..... Both boxes have the same E2708 serial marking imprinted into the back of the box. Is this a common thing? I remember reading about the whole Metroplex markings that indicated that it was a knock off.

I don't think there're any KOs for Omega Supreme yet.
The massive KO Encore Metroplex release was probably caused by overproduced KO/KT, which was made before the encore release(Encore basically killed their sale, so they need to find a way to still get some profit from it)

Also, so far KO/KT companies haven't made any attempt on electronic figures, so Skylynx/Omega should be safe for a while.

Hi, I am new to these here forums. I have a sealed carded KO of the constructicon combiners. The specific brand is Quick Changers and they are gen 2 yellow/black. I was interested if any here have a set by this KO brand. How are they in terms of KOs of Devastator? I know some break real quick and some KOs actually are of better quality then others. So and opinions? Thanks. Also, are these the same size as the G1/G2 constructicons by hasbro and takara?

first off welcome to the boards we do have a seperate KO thread in the toy discussion but to answer your questions

yes the quality is very good on them even if there are some minor flaws in them they TF just like the originals and are the same size as the real things

Thanks. Maybe I will open them then. I am trying to get my hands on a G1 devastator complete set.

I just bought a MP Starscream takara. It was stated as mint condition and never been open. I was wondering if it's normal for it to have something sliding inside and is it suppose to be light weight compared to the mp-04?. Are there any KO for MPs?

Mp-04?...is there any way to find out whether a box was open or not? Currently my mp-03 is wrap with plastic..it's somewhat loose...the taping on the top and bottom of the box are pretty loose also. Does anyone have a picture of an unopen mp-03 that I can compare with?

Uh, I don't think there are any counterfeits of Masterpiece toys at all, except for obvious fakes with extra chrome, different packaging, etc...
