    Hey, I found a really neat Sky Lynx knockoff on Chimungmung.com. However, as it is a KO, I'm not sure if the plastic quality is good on it or if it'll break upon touching it. Does anyone have this figure?

    Alternatively, do you know where I can get a G1 or custom Sky Lynx for cheap?

    I'm selling a MIB Encore Sky Lynx for $60 in my sale thread. PM me to discuss details.

    you need to post a pic otherwise people can't be sure of the figure your talking about. That said this is the first i have heard of a Skylynx KO at all. I have to wonder if if its not the Encore reissue.

    I'm guessing this is it. (Google is my friend, how about yours?)

    My suggestion is to get the Encore version instead. Price ain't really high. In fact, in my country, it was clearing at below USD20.00 sometime last year.

    IIRC, the original G1 isn't too expensive either (loose/complete).

    Yup, that's the one. They sell it for $14 on Chimungmung, but I think I saw one for $9 odd or something.

    Yes. Or Pinata edition.

    Haha that made my day.

    The Beauty that is Skylynx should never have been disgraced with such colors. How dare someone deface the magnificent, marvelous, perfection that is Skylynx. Blasphemy!

    I snagged the little guy, scale-wise he's all wrong, but he fits nicely on the shelf with the rest of the S3 crew.

    Quality is quite nice, I just wish he hadn't gone all day-glow, and I don't like the retooling of "Lynx" into a tank.

    For the price it ain't bad, but as others have suggested, the genuine article is the definitive item.

    Thanks! I agree with the colors being all wack, but I actually quite like that the lynx turns into a tank. Scale-wise, he really is more of a Cyberverse scale than anything else.

    I hhave found some G1 Sky Lynx figures for good prices so I may end up sticking with that. Thanks!
