    haha - best explanation for 4th party I have heard - it's the PC way of saying 'knock-off' 'bootleg' :D

    Mine came yesterday. I already own the real one and bought this one because I want to try several mods I'm not confident enough to do on UT's until I'm sure of what I'm doing. To my surprise, some aspects of it are actually better than the real deal. The joints are tighter, things tend to click in place more securely and both modes feel more solid than on my "official" PK.

    Paint apps are a little less precise, the paint on the diecast parts looks less opaque which is a little ugly, I admit it, and some parts have a little more spruemarks/mold flashes but otherwise, it's a damn nice KO.

    Perfect! That's what I was waiting to hear. Time to replace the PK I sold last year !

    Was this the BSL version? I don't even know what the other version is.

    Does it have more ratchet joints?! That is the only thing I didn't like about my Peru Kill.

    Did you get the BSL one or the VT one? Also, did the makers fix the knees? Thanks in advance!

    The original doesn't have a locking point where the transformation joint is located.

    It's the BSL Version. Sadly, they didn't fix the knees. That's one of the mods I'm planning to work on. I didn't notice additional ratchets but I'll have a closer look Friday afternoon.

    Thank you!

    Yeah, locking knees would make me get another figure, at least until I read more reviews or see a video review.

    Read around this thread a bit, looking for an answer which I kind of got the idea but just to make it more clear for me I do not own Peru Kill due to the price being up there a bit, but I have been debating it recently however I just discovered the BSL toys KO PK and wondering if that is good to get instead. I don’t have a ton of knowledge with KO’s so I’m wondering if this one is good. Basically if I don’t own PK will this one impress me? I don’t want to sacrifice quality if the ko has issues but if it’s pretty much the same I would. Any help would be greatly appreciate even a compare/contrast the UT and the KO if you have both and would like to share. Thank you so much!

    Is it basically the same look and feel as the official one? And I’m not sure how you could move that without risking breaking it

    i dont own the original because like u i didnt want to pay the price. But i really wanted this, so the KO made sense. i am super happy with mine, more so when i get this damn thumb to move.. Its like its super glued in from turning but not up and down movements.. its weird.

    Huh you mace have convinced me, the price seems awesome for that figure and if there’s no real differences from the real one then I can’t see why not. Does it come with all the same accessories? Also what site did you purchase it from

    i think it comes with everything.. all i cared about was the alternate head and the gun, which it comes with. it also had the hook thing and 3 dogs. i didnt need those really but they are fine too. But like i said i dont know what the original was like so i cant compare. u might want to wait for some1 that does know, but like i said im very happy.
    I got mine from Taobao. Its the only place i go now.
