    What's the quality like on the Delta Magnus KO?
    Are there any video reviews at all?

    My Delta Magnus is actually an official. The quality is great. I also got a set of articulated KFC Delta Magnus hands to go with it.

    Currently Chinese sellers on Ebay and Taobao are selling new copies of official MP Delta Magnus for around $90 shipped (on Ebay, likely a bit less on Taobao). These are bulk copies that have no box but include all accessories and they are brand new.
    @batfan007 I don't think there are any MP-31 Delta Magnus KO's have been announced or released.

    Today I got my hands on a Delta Magnus face (the blue square eyed normal face) for my MP22. It wasnt cheap, but way cheaper than buying a complete Delta Magnus when all I wanted was the face.

    If anyone is interested in selling the shocked ("o") version of the same face (blue, square eyes), then I may be interested.

    So.........................

    I notice there's not a single review or comparison video of the KO MP-22 literally ANYWHERE.

    Has this figure just never come out yet, or what.

    Also I keep seeing the KO being sold for upwards of 130 bucks. ouch!

    I think your second statement answers your question. Nobody is interested in paying $130 for a KO of a figure you can get for $150-180, not even reviewers.

    Now the upgraded figure with the fixed butt flap, that's another story, but I haven't seen any indication of what his price is gonna be.

    THF version? How does that differ from what is being discussed in this thread?

    The THF has the cab/butt flap redesigned so that it folds alot cleaner. So it mostly isnt just hanging down in the back like a guy wearing a tshirt around his waist. It will be able to fold away cleaner. I have the THF soundwave, and the only issue I have is the waist of the cassettes could have been a bit better. But otherwise I love my soundwave from them.

    Okay, good. For a second there I was concerned I'd bought the wrong one.

    I like it. Joints are tight and paint is good. Had to add the blaster/Shoulder joint/KFC hands/Stickers to get it how I wanted it but pleased with the results.

    Have you bought from that seller, s30105 before?
    I'm curious as to how reliable he is.
    I noticed he's selling that straight up copy for $86.60 shipped while other sellers have it for $112-118 shipped.

    What seller did you buy from and what was the total cost?
    So overall you're happy with it?
    No qc issues?
    How are the hip forward/side ratchets?
    Do the inner shoulder hinges lock in place firmly?

    I'd like to see @Bots and Bits do a video review.

    Nah, I just grabbed the first link I saw. Apply caution as always.
