    I just got mine in today from TF-Direct and it's a V2. I ordered it a month ago.

    Got my v2 today and haven’t messed with it much except to see that the inner calf flap on the left leg doesn’t want to peg in at the knee. Is this a thing on anyone else’s or is there a chance I’ve got some sort of 1.5? I’m a little apprehensive about transforming him or whatever to get access to that peg.

    Darn it! The waist gap was the only thing that bugged me about my ko and it’s been fixed on v2 but I only find out about after it’s sold out. Does anyone know if they’ll be a reissue or if anyone still has some in stock?

    I have the exact same issue, on my v2. It just refuses to securely peg in. I haven’t transformed him yet, so am unsure if anything is misaligned.

    If you're talking about the flap that folds down, i had the same issue with my v1. Solved it by applying some coats of Tamiya clear coat and now it stays in place.

    Do you think you could look at both and see what’s different about them that makes the torso tab in on the v2 and not v1?

    Anyone know where I can get a V2? All I see now are preorders for a silver thigh version. Thanks

    Is this on the V1? Sounds like I'm going to be transforming him again to find out!

    It looks like bababobo still has the V2 on e-Bay. He may have a better price on his own shop. 4th Party Masterpiece MP-44 Optimus Prime Version 3.0 KO Action Figure | eBay
    I'd say if a shop still has one in stock, then it's V1 or V2 (bigger shops like Show.z or Terry or baba would have sold through V1 and likely only have V2 now). If its a pre-order, then the Silver painted.

    I got mine from Mascotzone around Thanksgiving and it was V2. IN STOCK 4th Party MP-44 Optimus Prime Version 3.0 Action Figure | eBay

    If the KOs really want to dissociate themselves from the otiginal, they should reengineer the backpack to make it flat. Some funky paintjob wont cut it

    The mold is hideous without the backpack, plus it makes up like half the cab
