For all the Taobao users, here's a pretty good deal on Yes Model YM12 Stubborn/Stubbomm Buffett (KO Maketoys Ironwill) and YM11 Data Clerk (KO MakeToys Cupola).
About $33 USD before shipping for one.
About $65 USD before shipping for a set of both.

As always please confirm your desired stock quantity availability with the seller via Aliwang chat prior to purchasing.

**Please Note**
The word "Transformers" is in the listing title so it may prevent you from ordering it if you are a USA customer. If this happens let the seller know including a screenshot of the error message at checkout. The seller may be able to arrange your purchase under a different item name.

 

Damn great prices but wonder how much shipping will be for the pair. Could use them for alt modes

 

I'd say it's worth owning both - even if only because their Transformation isn't especially enjoyable so if you wanted to keep on in vehicle mode they are ideal for that.

 

I'd imagine that the actual shipping weight for the pair combined is about 4kg. That is assuming you are shipping via the EMS option to the USA. So if you also factor in the 3% Alipay fee, you're looking at a grand total of about $100 USD shipped for the pair. That's basically $50 shipped each. That's even cheaper than Ebay, ShowZ, tf-direct etc.
Again that is if the EMS warehouse weighs the package containing the pair at about 4kg.

No need to wait for an Ebay flash sale.

 

Stumbled upon your post that Cupola doesn't have a decal set. Being intrigued and having a KO Cupola myself, I began digging around Taobao and found an actual Eness set from the Eness store. Strange that it hasn't made it to the English internet. Link and instructions below. Pretty excited about this so bought a set myself!

Great find!
Yeah, it's weird that this Eness set for Cupola is not on Ebay.

There's also the Reprolabels/Toyhax set.

He still has stock, but he has increased his price now. It is 510 yuan (US$75) for the pair now.

 

Do you happen to have an updated link? The one you gave isn't working now.

So it roughly went up $10 in price. Still not bad for the set.

 

This is what I found now.

Which option is for the Eness label set for Cupula?

 

Should be the 35 yuan option? Cos the sticker sheets for other bots are at this price. (He should really show a pic.)

10 yuan seems to be for the insignia alone? (One for car, one for bot. Very ex.)

 

Yup it's the ¥35 option. I also agree the insignia options are expensive. Better to use your own or get other options.

Thanks.

 

This dude arrived today. Love him.

 

Got mine today but unfortunately the headmaster was basically in pieces.

I'm looking for suggestions from anyone who may have had the same problem.

Here's what happened: the front part of the body and the shoulders suddenly detached, revealing a screw that apparently was not screwed well.



To me, the screw should have been inserted from the back of the hole below the head so that it can secure the two places. The piece with the head is apparently made of two parts glued together so I won't try separating them in order to avid damaging them.

The screw, instead, was like this, on the front, not locking anything




The obvious solution would be to glue it, but only putting the screw in the right place would secure it and make the shoulder balljoints tight.

If you had the same proble,, and solved it, great, let me know; otherwise, I'll go for the glue

 

Maybe try reaching out to the seller for a replacement of the HM figure.

 

What seller has this in stock now and for the best deal?

 

Do you happen to have an updated link? The one you gave isn't working now.

 

That was 2 years ago haha
