I'm a little late, but I got my KO AOE Nemesis Prime today. To be honest, I've never been a fan of the Bayformers, but I managed to get this one off of aliexpress for $13. I am very happy I got it. It pegs together as well or better than an official. The only complaint that I have is that the right arm is a little loose, but I figure that I can tighten that up.

 

so, just to be clear, it's either not a ko, or it's good enough quality, that it might as well be the real thing?

 

That was the normal price for preorders I think from Asia retailers... going price ATM?

 

BBTS is still asking 170, they're my usual go-to shop, unless i'm re-ordering from HLJ or amiami.

 

I found some KO OS nuRID figures on eBay. "DEFORMATION MADE BY METAL." It looks like weijiang. They say there is diecast, but it looks to be in some weird places, like the chests and shoulders.

And just in case anyone is wondering about that seller, I've bought from them twice and both times everything went perfect.

 

These have been available on Sirtoys for a while now. I own the Bumblebee and it's amazing, I highly recommend!

 

Anyone have the Robo Revolution guys from SirToys? They look like fun.

 

I have a few and they aren't bad at all! They are missing some articulation, but decent as a whole.

 

haven't checked this thread in ages--have there been any new G1-ish style Prowl KO's lately?

Hey you guyyyyyyys! I got some really cool KO's in the mail and a few more on their way here, stay tuned for pics and reviews in the coming days. It's sure to be a treat for anyone who loves the obscure g1 era/style stuff. In the meantime people should post some pics of their faves and share with the hungry masses. Break bread yo!

 

I'm ordering a Weijang M01 in three days. Can't wait.  

 

Mine just came in and Wei Jiang has given life to MP movie Prime! SO worth it!

 

I've had to put off a custom I wanted to make for it, but I hope you're right.

 

What do people know about the KO Minerva and Goshooter? These have had reprolabels applied.

 

I know that I want them, but for ko prices of course

 

They were sort of pricey. Enough to feel guilty. Lol. But I'm in love so screw it. From the only review I could find, They're also rare.

 

Here is my review of this Super Guardion KO set.

*G1 Hot Rod guest appearance for scale*

First off, I love the box. Look at that box art! It's huge and highly displayable just in the box itself. Most KO's I purchase are usually loose or in poor packaging. This is easily the best KO box I've ever had.



The quality of the figure is a bit above what I usually expect for a KO. The plastic is pretty durable. Joints were pretty tight at first and took some loosening up. A few pins are loose and can tend to fall out.

Everything is scale to the original and all of the vehicles come with the correct stickers and accessories (well, almost). The stickers on the sticker sheet were all rolled up and had to be straightened out before applying. Some of them needed extra TLC to stick right.

Guardion:



Two big differences with this KO.

1) No factory red/white/blue shoulder stickers (I've temporarily made my own).

2) SG's faceplate was painted RED instead of Black (sonokong's) or Blue (takara's). You can see the faceplate in question in a picture I posted several pages back.

The Red faceplate just didn't do anything for the figure, so I sent it to Tom_Servo for a facelift. Not only did he do a superb job, he made the figure look even better than I expected. Thanks again Dave!

Super Guardion:







Overall an awesome figure that I was able to get for less than half of what the Sonokong version is going for. Probably not a figure I'll be transforming often, but will look great on the shelf.

 

Has Generations Armada Starscream been KO'd?

Not the only auction on ebay. Stock photos, super cheap, more than 20 in stock, ships from China. All of this screams KO to me. However, what gives me pause is I haven't heard of that mold being KO'd. So I'm just wondering what other people thought?

 

maybe check in the ko thread.

edit. and this seller has boxless terminus hexatrons (not labeled as KO) for $12? give me a break.
