    I got my KO SG Prime tanker today.

    The plastic colors are spot on. Oddly enough, the replacement waist piece is done in purple plastic and not the same grey as the leg pieces. But it looks nice enough and you can't tell once you plug the larger waist piece into it.

    The plastic quality is pretty darn good for a KO. Not quite as heavy as my real one but for $70 shipped its not too bad. The fit is really good. A couple of spots where i had to remove a little flash, but some of the fit is actually better than the real one. The fists fit on the back pegs better in tanker mode and the nubs on the back of the shins also fit better into the bottom of the tank in vehicle mode.

    The build quality is fair. There are some stripped screws and some screws that weren't put in quite straight, but nothing crazy. The tanker sides were attached backwards. I was able to pop the sides off at the ball joint and switch them.

    The deco falls a little short of the original photos. Both of the "hoses" at the bottom of the tank are silver on mine. Not one green, one silver like the pics. There in also no dry-brushing on the purple parts. But the black parts do have some silver fading on them. But it does come with the front pieces of the tank and the "missles" are molded in green plastic.

    I'd rather wait for the official 3rd party one with the extra chest pieces.

    Yeah the official one is really bad ass (but 140 really?), this one just seems tired.

    I'd take the $100 off the price in place of a chest remold.

    If anybody who bought the KO SG Tanker wants to sell their blue Drift sword that comes with it, PM me.

    It's a pop on head. That's half the reason why I didn't put it on mine.
