    The KO dianauts I have (including the ones that came with the mechs) are alright, but some of them came with plastic flash or poorly cut sprues. I have seen some guys saying they got theirs broken and it's very possible, the workmanship varies a lot.

    Do you have a direct link so that I can order one? You ordered from Taobao before, is it safe/trusted?

    Taobao is like ebay or aliexpress, a trading platform with both legit and scummy sellers. What makes it cheap is that it is meant for sales within China and the prices there are lower. You'll need to use official or 3rd party forwarders to buy from there. It is a deep rabbit hole for non-chinese users, needs some research, trial and error. I don't recommend something this expensive for your first time using it.

    Had him since Friday. One word. Get him! One of the best figures in my collection. Thers is not a single surface that is not painted or does not have some sort of tampo printing. Beware of all the silver surfaces though. Looks like the paint is thinly applied and i have has a couple of scratches. Scratch on the head crest is especially bothersome to me, but, easily fixed.

    Same, scratches quite prominently all over but he is military I guess? :lol 

    Does anyone find the lower legs (or back half of the vehicle mode) a significant different shade of camo with yellow? Torso (or front half of vehicle) is a very dark camo with no signs of yellow. Pretty glaring on my copy. Is it the same for anyone's?

    Would you guys recommend this guy as a toy to mess around with, or is it more of a pose it and leave it type figure? I'm thinking of picking up the camo version to mess around with.
