    Yeah thanks this is great stuff.

    And shouldn't you have warned 'no knockoff bashing OR praising'? as there are two sides to what gets that debate started.

    Thanks a lot man, that's real great of you!

    I think you should have the mods sticky a thread with all the KO vs Original info and lock it so it doesn't get cluttered with comments.

    Great job!

    There is a stickied KO vs. Original thread at the top of the toyark here but one with a sublink to each different character so it can be clearly navigated would be cool.

    See? I do my part. Only problem with this guy is hislack of accessories.

    And Botch Crabs.

    This is another way to discern the KO boxart from the real ones. Only the boxart though.

    I'm grateful for this as well. And, wow, there are a lot more differences than you'd expect on this one.

    Just going to merge this with our already ongoing KO sticky thread so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle.

    Thanks for posting this as well, this is definitely good stuff to know and keep and eye out for.
