    Dunno. All I know is I called him out once on a KO G1 Devastator. I make a point not to buy from him.

    I can't see how anything less would be expected.

    That said, for this thread discussion, this is an official toy thread. Third party and knock offs are fine as long as they're accompanied by an official figure. Photos of only a third party or a ko don't belong here.

    With all of that said, let's steer back to our thread topic at hand here.

    So this rule is applied to any threads on the official side?

    If so that is good news for many.

    Thanks in advance.

    For the record, and not saying this is the case for your situation, I bought an MP-Red Alert from BBTS that I would've sworn was a KO too. The rifle felt off and was covered in flashing... the paint was questionable. But it was also the Bot-Mode packaging version. I don't know if that plays into the overall quality.

    I never display my guys lined up in static standing poses, it's stiff and boring to me, but wanted to give it a try anyways while I wait for Bumblebee.

    Love these guys.

    Can be a case by case basis sometimes, but a rule of thumb - yeah. We have a whole forum for 3rd party discussion. The thought behind that was to keep 3rd party sectioned off into its own thing.

    Sounds fair to each to side.

    Let's keep this place clean now.

    I'll sig this. Thanks.

    It would be nice to start the new year with a cleaner thread. Even better spring clean the entire place. I would totally help. You know I would.

    Personally, I would eliminate any traces of them here. That's me. Pretty sure a lot of folks would agree.

    What a sight of perfection, non-mistransformed, show characters only! What a beautiful sight, Dean ML.

    I've got to be honest, though, I was there from the start I'm not really a season 1&2 enthusiast, I see a lot of them as filler, the diminutive size of the new car scale has somewhat been responsible for this.

    However, in my opinion, there will be nothing more epic than seeing the entire season 1 squad lined up like the way yours are, DeanML, and at the very competitive prices Japanese-etailers are having these...there's no way in hell I ain't completing that line-up.

    Awesome display, DeanML.

    Thanks, man! I know you're not excited about Bumblebee, but hopefully you'll grow to love the figure when he joins his buddies. So much of this line is about context for me - the whole G1 experience!

    I did mistransform Smokescreen a bit, though, by having his door wings more forward and down and his backpack unhinged so it's lower for more toon accuracy and to differentiate him from Prowl and Bluestreak a little more. I like trying to have Starscream and Thundercracker's wings down instead of out for toon accuracy, too.

    May not be the most dynamic poses, but it does have an ominous feel to it, like toy story 3, lining up and waiting for the end.
