Seems like Nero is BMB's next "victim", if this is real

 

No honor amongst thieves like they said.

Please KO DOTM Megs next please please please.

 

Whut? Is the bmb the bigger or smaller version?

 

Bigger. Look at the individually articulated fingers

 

The bigger one's chest looks less like a gateway to internal darkness, must be the KO

 

Off the top off my head I’ve circled some of the differences I could notice from the blurry image. And so far I’ve seen 3 differences between the KO and the Original.

1. Seems to be a different design on the footplate. Seems to be more angled instead of square like on the original.

2. articulated fingers. Don’t think it needs explaining.

3. Seems to have included a bit from the upgrade kits for the Chest hole to fill it out.

 

Also it seems like the head on the OS is better proportioned too with the size of his body

 

does anyone know what size this would approximately be?

 

Well...that's what they get for trying to "KO" themselves. Lol

 

damn this guy looks huge! I’m hoping they fixed the feet on this would definitely be interesting if so

 

Def. In for one, i agree that the head looks better proportioned and I hope it has light up features.

 

FFS... the original is large enough, this thing must be massive!

 

..I'm gonna buy a third version of this mold, aren't I..

Goddangit. Just when I was also working on a V2 repaint of Nero...

 

Thank god

 

wonder if this means if we should see a release very soon since that’s how bmb usually goes about things

 

Maybe this is the reason why they released the 'youth' version in the first place. UT announced the new version and a few days later the KO is leaked, this can't be a coincidence.
UT already lost to the KO counterpart once in the past, so they might want to squeeze the most out of this mold before its' too late for them to make any money from the mold.
Their behavior this time around is quite similar to what they did when BS03 was announced, they released a version of challenger with better paint, while keeping the price the same, trying to compete with the KO counterpart. Sadly, they lost, and that run only lasted for a short while, challenger's latest nowadays run looks like it's barely even painted. However, this time around, they are willing to sacrifice the selling price for quantity, the 'youth' version is cheaper, but they still try to make the most out of it by reducing materials used (less diecast). Hope this KO doesn't push them to the edge bc UT is such a gem among 3rd 4th party companies. Or it might be the case where UT themselves sold the design to BMB idk, BMB can't be that greedy tho

 

Yeah as much as I like the scale bmb has it would be a shame if it was at the cost of it's sucess, as they're an absolute powerhouse in good figures

 

UT is amazing and yes I agree, I hope this does not deter their future efforts. They are still in a unique position with challenger and Nero as they are MPM scale.
If they really want, they can ko the design improvements of bs03 and put it on Challenger lol.

 

I think it could be the other way around where UT probably sells the mold or probably get some percentage of share in revenue from BMB. BMB literally released a KO of Dragoon, Prime and now Nero. How would UT just allow bmb to ko all these three design? If bmb releases desperado next year then it would be sure something happening

 

That might very much as well be the case tbh. The guy behind Vt-01 (KO of ut r01) and TH01 (KO of DX9 la hire, which is UT in disguise) is said to be BMB. Maybe this whole conspiracy of ours is just BMB and UT doing their business in normal course. I will give you one better, maybe UT themselves is just BMB to begin with lol
