From bbts Third Party Transforming Toys & Accessories Toys, Action Figures, and Collectibles Edit:- Sorry( Is New BW KO
They made BW KOs at Big Lots. Didn't they made that show accurate BM Optimus Primal? That counts as a third party Beast Machines figure to me, and we don't have many of those! http://mastercollector.com/articles/cheesy/cheese1209.html
The quality on these is garbage (at least on the few basic sized figures I have) BUT the Beast Machines Op is by far superior to the original
To me, this is where 3rd party products an cheap KO's start to merge an make a blurry line. The last thing I want to do is buy an expensive 3rd party item only to realize its a cheap POS. I don't know, Im just starting to see a fuzzy line begining to develop.
agreed ko =/= 3rd party, igear made that fuzzy line, i always wondered why people called them a 3rd party to begin with (they've gotten there now, but not at first)
