Looking good cobo! Is optimus gonna want the favour returned? ;-)

News Credits: 1646 · Sun May 20, 2018 8:06 pm

Really glad you enjoy Artfire Densh! He is a favorite of mine as well!

And Cobs, You gotta do some more MP's surfing the other MPs, that is fantastic

A new sport has been invented! Robo skating! :lol:

has your prowl arrived yet?

News Credits: 41 · Mon May 21, 2018 9:19 am

Oh, it's nothing new. :lol:

No Prowl yet. It will be a while. He's taking the slow boat. Last I checked tracking, he hadn't even left China.

EDIT: Oh snap! Just checked tracking and Prowl made landfall in the States! :DANCE:

He must be enjoying himself while he's over there ;-)

Lol soon cobo, I'm looking at prowl myself funnily enough, so I'll be eager to see pics

I take back my previous comment, this is the best thing ever

Those are some serious LOLLERSKATES! ;p

He came! KO MP Prowl arrived this past Thursday and I gotta say, he is the KOpeness!

Of course having things shipped from China is always a risk, Unless the sender packs it well.

If this had been an official MP I would have been livid, but it's not.

The box barely survived the journey, but Prowl came out without a scratch.

Man! This is exactly why I do not buy new official MPs from eBay. This thing's likeness to the official product is uncanny. From the box, to the quality of the figure, to the paint. It's mind blowing how good this KO really is.

FREEZE!

The Temptatrons? The Four Dats? The Datsun 54?

Fairlady Z emblems, and headlights for chestes
Rear wheel roller skates, and fin crest head dresses
Hatchback bell bottoms
and car doors for wings
These are a few of my favorite things.

these guys really are my quintessential Transformers!

I always stayed away from those KOs since I had heard they were not good quality, but you are saying this guy feels just as good as all the other Datsuns?

YES! It's down right frightening!

Now that you got him in hand, are there any tell tale signs it's a ko? He looks superb. Was there any giveaways on the box?

I would love it if the seller made a mistake and sent you a real one by accident :lol:

Not on the toy itself. I'm sure if I scrutinized hard enough I could find some slight differences in the molding.

The only thing I can think off is what is missing from the box. The iridescent official licensing sticker, and the stamped batch codes .

Z, if you've never handled an MP, and are willing to cross the line, these KOs are the way to go. For $30 shipped, these are a great way to experience these toys on a tight budget.

Thanks cobo :-)

you don't know how tempted I am. I'm still hoping that one day I'll land a multi book deal and when someone asks what I'm doing with the advance, I'll turn to them with a straight face and answer:
"I'm buying Masterpieces, Takara Tomy Masterpieces"

I hear these are hit and miss. Nice to know yours was a hit! :DANCE:

You know you're painfully close to a complete MP Datsun collection right? Thinkin about getting (anime) Streak? *ignoring MP+ Prowl obviously* :lol:

I think about it all the time. Then I think about spending the money on something I don't already have 4 of. :lol:

and Prowl+.... OBVIOUSLY! :roll:

Love seeing the Datsuns! They should totally have a TV show.

News Credits: 1350 · Sun May 27, 2018 3:58 pm

Transformers meets police procedural...now you want it more like csi or, my favourite, Police Squad! ;-)

News Credits: 3 · Sun May 27, 2018 5:11 pm

Polie Squad all tha way, ZeroWolf! Police Academy or Super Troopers would also work.

I just want you to know that this will now be stuck in my head for a indeterminate amount of time :lol:

Seriously, though, those look amazing! Are they all KOs? Or just the Prowl? (might have missed it).

As I was packing to move, I found an misb MP-Wheeljack that I had completely forgotten about (had thought it was gone a long time ago :lol:

). After looking at the pictures of your Prowl's box, I have to wonder if mine is official or KO! May look for that after the move when I finally take him out of his box (poor Wheeljack!)

News Credits: 1350 · Mon May 28, 2018 1:56 pm

It was just the prowl...right cobo? ;-)

For what it's worth, I'm now daydreaming prowl being voiced by Leslie Neilson (may he rest in peace) and acting like lt Frank Drevin.

News Credits: 41 · Mon May 28, 2018 3:42 pm

Thanks Wings! I was rather proud of my parody. :lol:

Glad you noticed.

And yes, only Prowl is a KO. Having 3 others in that mold officially helped justify the purchase of a KO for me.

Edit: Oh! And some times I think of Prowl sounding like Sgt. Joe Friday from Dragnet.
