SillyMcGilly wrote:You have to understand that these KOs are not designed by the KO manufacturer. It is a stolen and slightly modified design. Meaning while HasTak has to make more money to support their design teams, these KO companies need to worry little about that. That means they can be much cheaper in price with the same or more quality.

it still doesnt excuse takaras quality being off. theres no excuse for that.
SillyMcGilly wrote:I am wondering though, I know KOs don't normally license the vehicles of the Transformers they are stealing designs from, but does HasTak pay to use real world vehicles in their toys, or do the car companies pay them?
Also, is that G2 Bruticus something worth getting? I love me some silly gaudy G2 colors!

*cough* I might be interested in a voyager sized Alpha bravo, *cough*
Ah, but they do!Sigma Magnus wrote:The KO doesn't have a matching Offroad.![]()
Unfortunately your choices aren't so hot. One's too big one's to small.Kurona wrote:Unfortunately turned off that Megs now. He's just a bit too big for LegendsAnyone know a decent Legends-sized Megatron aside from the T30 one?

The KO DOESN'T HAVE THE RIGHT HEAD

Of course there is this feller.
Might still be a bit too big for ya.
The search for baby bear continues....

I must say I do kind of like the scale with Prime on KOatron. Reminds me of Animated.
Not that I'm aware of. There does seem to an interest in legend sized figures in the KO market. Iron Factory's UM just had a KO pop up.Kurona wrote:SureShot18 wrote:Oh! That's DX9's Mightron. Not to be confused with the Masterpiece-alike, that's part of their War in Pocket series.

Gaaaah, that price... there any KOs out there?
Cobotron stated the worries with the grey territory very well. Me? I have very little honor when it comes to plastic. I've got a room full of Has/Tak figures and I'm sure I won't stop throwing money at them anytime soon. I do however feel no guilt in buying KOs of 3p figures. I'll see how it goes when I pick up a KO of a 1st party figure. In my opinion there is no difference in buying 3p or KO and to double down (for certain markets), buying Takara is the same as not buying HasbroKurona wrote:Ah yes, my favourite Trsfarmer chracter... Ultrl Magenus.![]()
I am unbelievably tempted to go for KOs of 3P toys right now. Like... you know that feeling where you know something is a bit iffy but no-one's really done anything about it and it's not that terrible anyway so no point fighting it; but you do this one little seedy loophole that makes you feel like such an ass but you love that it makes you feel that way? That's me right now. Over considering getting KOs of 3Ps. Fight the establishment with an arguably worse establishment!![]()

If you are on the fence though, I'll give you this piece of advice. Much like potato chips, you can't just have one. Or to keep on theme and rip off a trademark: "once you pop you just can't stop"
That's where I started with 3p add-ons then KOs of those add-ons, then a few clearance 3p figures, then a few KOs of 3p figures. At some point you get a little numb and money talks. I see no harm in picking up figires/accessories that would never be made or even figures you wouldn't have bought in the first olacw. Anyway do what feels right.Kurona wrote:My little morality check comes into play with the rather vague little guideline of "add-ons or things HasTak probably will not do". I don't exactly expect Hasbro to release better hands and feets for Combiner Wars, nor do I expect to see an IDW Cosmos, Tarn or even Rodimus in my lifetime. That's where it's easier for me - it's not taking money away from HasTak because HasTak weren't making a similar product to get money from me! Win-Win! Same goes for 'Ultrl Magenus' here. Is Generations truly going to come out with a specifically Legends-scaled Ultra Magnus, especially when the focus has shifted from smaller versions of big dudes like Optimus and Starscream to just making figures of small guys like Rewind and Brawn? Is a Legends-Scale Magnus really going to happen from HasTak? Is it really? So yeah, no remorse here~
... of course, then I find a 3P Legends Soundwave with Ratbat and Buzzsaw for £15 - and a Legends Soundwave doesn't seem too unlikely from official channels sometime in the future - and I start to waver. Especially when an official one is not likely to be of the quality shown nor is it likely to have two tiny Cassetticons...
