    That's why it's still up haha

    Cool video. I wonder why it doesn't happen on more lines though? Macross, gundam, ect. Maybe they just aren't as popular as Transformers right now and the demand is too great.

    I sold mine like a year ago, soon as I heard rumor their would be a re-working of the mould.

    Sweet. Let Jenius do the grunt work. I can transform it like a dummy when I finally ship mine

    I really want Mirage yo.

    The test shot is usually loose and beaten up. I'd take it with a grain of salt.

    Yeah. I mean I don't hate Hasbro, so much as I want to protect myself. Finding the patterns and not paying for re-issues when they are basically KO's is important to me, anyway. Their first Grimlock was a great product, back in 09. And their recolor of MP-10 a few years ago is quality too, I just don't like the colors.

    Nice big hauls everybody! Healthy collections

    Scouting force looks cool too. I like how photon looks like a real camera though.

    But if that's true, isn't it silly to assume Hasbro would allow their own factories to not only degrade their reputation, but make money off their mistakes? Letting 3rd parties sell original designs is one thing, but turning a blind eye to "official" knockoffs seems lazy and sloppy. But maybe China is just that wild west when it comes to Intellectual property and there isn't a thing they can do. I'm going off the assumption that the mp-03 release only happened because somebody KO'd it. It was a response to get dollars from collectors who might buy a cheaper alternative to ebay prices. They doubled down by making one just as cheap, but charging the same. My assumption could very well be wrong, but the history lines up with the theory. Pictures and rumors of the KO came out months before MP-03 was announced. In the end it's just fascinating to think about.

    It's not the original toy, unfortunately. Not the same materials and fit. And is it a KO, or is it the original if they are the same and one is a KO? haha. Idk. So obsession = pointing out the obvious. It's not like I'm pulling things out of my ass here. I thought part of the reason people collect toys is to catalog the differences, re-issues, and history of a line. We could ignore it... and buy inferior products and pretend they aren't I guess.

    I don't see how this is a conspiracy theory. It seems to make too much sense haha. I mean.. it's a little beyond coincidence that the official release and the KO are using the exact shade of plastic on a release that comes out at the same time. But I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice, but it's odd more people aren't pissed about it, especially if you bought the Hasbro re-issue. You basically bought a KO. I'd feel duped. Selling off extras is also pretty shady. I mean if Nike had some defective and inferior shoes and still charged 120 bucks for them, wouldn't you want to know? And then they replaced the soles on the "official" shoe and sold it for more? Btw, there is also a KO of MP08x up for sale on some sites... so what does that tell you?
  14. Gakken85
    Wow. Have you guys seen how awesome this is?
  15. Gakken85
    Anybody else notice this? I'm not sure why people aren't making this connection. Is Hasbro basically selling off unboxed or broken stock and then letting a proxy sell it as a KO? THEN also selling it in a shitty box stateside for even more cash? Why is Hasbro and "Wukong" using the same changes of materials and plastic? Are Hasbro cutting costs to make it as cheap as the KO? and if so what's the difference? Why buy the original? I've never held the Wukong, so I'm not sure... but it would be hilarious if the legs were tighter there.
  16. Gakken85
    Probably, that is essentially the same quality as the KO haha
  17. Gakken85
    Rodimus Prime KO
  18. Gakken85
    I love the head and legs on this guy.
  19. Gakken85
    It should come with a MISB Super ostriccchuuuuu
  20. Gakken85
    Where are we seeing droops again? The GERWALK seems straight.
  21. Gakken85
    I doubt it. They will probably do repaints and the VF-0A ect to milk the mould. Maybe they will tackle it eventually though.
  22. Gakken85
    New mould and development. More plastic in the actual valk (Larger wings ect) + the missile rack = more costs. New head sculpt too.
  23. Gakken85
    bring it on.
  24. Gakken85
    Needs some splosions in the background.
  25. Gakken85
    Yeah... about the paint.. haha. I'm going to do a review this weekend and compare the two side by side. It's not going to be pretty. I got bored. Crappy photo haha
