    I'm fairly certain somebody here could cast them, and even make them not so bendy.

    How much they'd have to sell them at for it to be worth their time, i don't know.

    miscreant: did you get a news credit for this? I just want to make sure it works, in which case you'd be my first!

    I'm fine with this as the original was way too expensive. Hope the ko is less than half the price of the original as there is no need to be that expensive.

    Because folks might be duped into paying $55-$75+ USD for these thinking they're the real deal when they're not.

    I agree. I got my set from BBTS (when they were still $50, not $60), and while I'm happy to have them, they certainly weren't worth the price.

    Especially after realizing that they're simply the blades that were removed from the toy itself, just with newly molded handle pieces so that they can be held in hand.

    KOs are not bad if they lower prices and increase availability of hard to find items.

    ^well you know that they say about KO's: ''you get what you pay for''... :p 
    but seriously, more power to those who want the Blades, but who didn't want to shell out ridiculous amount of dough for them.

    Prototype... Much like how the KO Battle Tanker had an orange-y color.

    Also, neenav pointed out that Big Hache already has this via shapeways. The difference would be that when this KO set comes out, it'll be pre-painted/colored.

    RK has these up for pre-order robotkingdom.com and at $10 I think it's a great deal.
