Buyer beware: KO Henkei Ramjet and Coneheads

Postby Dead Metal » Tue May 17, 2011 7:10 am

Motto: "Don't do drugs, beer's cheaper anyway!"
KOToys has posted that CHMS has KOed the Classics Ramjet mold.
For those not in the know, CHMS is a KO company that is responsible for the recent pricey Henkei Seeker and Animated Arcee KOs that have been swamping the internet.
The following toys will be KOed from this mold:
KOToys is also having a poll which versions should be done next, one of the options is BotCon Dirge.
It also sounds like there will be KOs of the other Conehead molds.

Wow this is going to suck for anybody who wants a real Henkei Ramjet, Henkei Starscream has already sky-rocketed in price and has become really, really hard to find ever since the KO came out.

However, I'd be interested in a Hybrid of the standard and the conehead mold, just for how awesome that would be.

I'm not going to lie, if the quality is good then I wouldn't mind picking up a KO G2 Ramjet at a fraction of the cost...specially for those who did not get a chance to pick him up...regardless if there is an outlet where we (the collectors) can find figures that are either expensive, hard to find, or even from 3rd party companies that either provide KO, unofficial or their own original bach of figures than I will be the first in line...either way, lets hope that they are of decent quality, because in the end, whether it is a HasTak sanctioned figure or a KO...if the quality is not there then, at least to me, is not worth the plastic it's molded...can't wait to see what they come out with! :KREMZEEK:

I own an original Henkei Ramjet and have a G2 Ramjet on pre-order. I paid top dollar. And guess what ??? I STILL SUPPORT KO's !!!

Just like Obama is opening up drilling to bring down the gas prices, we need KO's. Classics figures have gone through the roof should have never gotten that high. Everybody has a right to enjoy the updated mold of the characters we loved from are youth. Theyre just plastic toys.

If you are looking for value and investment, go buy stocks, bonds, gold or silver, or land. Make real profit. No chump change.

I'm really pleased when KO companies fill-in missing characters and decos from TF history... but it's definitely a bummer when this happens.

Did they skyrocket in price? That's an interesting consequence of KOs. I'd have imagines the price being floored.

These get a big "meh" from me. With the Coneheads being released domestically there's no point in settling for a KO. I also wonder how much the G2 Ramjet KO will resemble the real deal. It hasn't even been released yet, so they don't have one in-hand to compare it to.

Hey Gauntlet101010... what kinda hybrid of the standard and conehead molds are you thinking??? Wouldn't that be like a Starscream head with Ramjet wings? Trying to picture a version that would look cool....
