Why would you do such a thing ?
You often post about not being able to afford certain figures. High quality KO's give people of lesser income an oppurtunity to own nice figures. You should be praising these guys. High quality KO's rock !

I tell you why I'd do such a thing: because KOs, high-quality or not, are the illegitimate spawn of blatant theft, and could very well be the death of actual MPs.
Sure I can't afford most MPs at the moment, but I'm not going to actively harm HasTak by buying a cheap knockoff instead of the real thing- especially when said cheap knockoff was created by stealing Takara's hard work and duplicating it. I'll just wait until I have the money to buy the real deal. This isn't like with old anime that never got a full uncensored English release, or the original producers/licensors have long since gone bust- these are products that are being designed, produced and released as we speak, and that take a lot of work and care to make just right. If people keep buying KOs instead of the real thing, eventually Takara is going to decide that there's no point in making them anymore because they aren't selling, and there will be no more MP Transformers (and by extension no more KO MPs either).

Agreed.
My concern is that TakTom will stop making Masterpieces as well, and watching KO after KO come out is maddening. Also, when folks in Masterpiece threads state they'll wait for the inevitable KO whenever a new MP is announced, that's a real problem.
I could tolerate KOs with non official paint jobs, hell, I'd love to see Exhaust in RID Vehicon colors, but exact copies right down to the packaging is a big no no in my book.

So I'll tell you why I'd do such a thing. Because I have standards and I'm not a dirty thief.

Long before the KO guys get their hands on a MP figure and begin the reverse molding process, the originals have already been sold to fans and retailers worldwide. Hasbro already got their money.
