    I was thinking of getting one. Isn't the second batch supposed to be ok?

    Not quite sure if this is the same KO UT of the leaked image posted. The biceps is still using the old UT sculpt vs the KO with proper molding and the waist seems to me is the waist accessories. Based on the earlier leaked image, the bicep is having the similar hinge like TMT

    Given BMB track record, if there's any leaked, I don't think it will be leaked any where other than China

    Unless the ko megs is so much smaller than the original it is not challenger. Mine is much smaller than that. 88F50D8E-3201-482D-88AD-09D6CBF0F618.jpeg

    I agree with most above, looks like a nice custom, the chest and shoulder pads look different from the BMB ko

    I hate how this makes Optimus look super buff and makes Megatron looks super slim.

    Yeah, i ordered BS-02 but i hate that about Dragoon from the beginning. Hopefully ko's shorter stature will help with that (even if it is just a placebo effect)

    Last I saw, the second batch was having issues as well, but it's been a while since I looked into the figure

    It's a custom of the original Challenger, just the hips are fully extended on it to give the maximum height. Look at the gap between the top of the thighs and the abdomen.

    They listed estimated release as October 2021.

    So this listing is not OS, but is using the same pictures as the OP. A little bummed because I wanted one to scale with my BMB LS-03.

    Reaching out to ShowZ to see if he knows if there will be another preorder for an OS version.

    Ngl, after their Dragoon's KO mixed reception I'm not sure if I need this o_O  and I don't necessarily mean the inferior quality but those growing issues like limited possibility or the lacking paint on his mask (which personally bugs me a lot)...
    So I'm waiting for more reviews before pre-ordering this.

    This is supposed to be in scale with BS-02.

    Love how their cover image is a terribly silhouetted copy of the random shitty shelf image we have.

    Eh, pretty sure it's an OS copy, however we may have a better idea if someone made a comparison between their BS-02 and the original challenher.
