So I just got some good/bad news this evening, depending on how much of a supporter you are.
As many know, competition in China is fierce for KO companies and to compete against eachother is commonplace. I have receintly been contacted by a different company than the first who is also doing KOs of G1 figures. Their first release - METROPLEX! I am told this is done is high quality and will come in a G1 style of box with styrofoam insert, instructions, catalogue and sticker sheets. I don't know what they will have for copyrites, this will be found out when they come in stock. The retail on this figure will be $124.99 US which I find is much more reasonable than $80 for a Dinobot considering the size and complexity of the figure. (a good portion of the cost is in the shipping as well)
We are going to be bringing in a limmited number of these to try out and can be preordered from our site at $109.99, saving $15 on this trial run. These will be shipping to us early to mid December so we hope to have these all out for the Holidays.

These KO's are no different than Hasbro reissuing the originals. Metroplex is a hard to find MISB figure.
Who cares???
I am glad these companies are reissue these figures. And that's really what they are, reissues, not KO's.

Plus, since Hasbro and Takara are unwilling to give us Mirage, Wheeljack, Sunstreaker, Metroplex, and the Dinobots I say let those who are willing to reissue them reissue them.
I'm not talking about those cheap combiner KO's of Devastator or Superion that obviously are low quality crap. These are figures that once removed from their package, much like official reissues, are nearly impossible to tell they are KO's.

These are not reissues. They are often lesser quality and there are mold changes. Mirage is not identical to Hasbro's original Mirage.

Repair Bay wrote:Now don't get me wrong, I also believe this could be a problem when it comes to identifying originals, but I am completely okay with "KO Reissues," so long as they tell you it is not an original. I see them as an easier way to get original molds, even if they are changed a bit.

Do not insult our staff. We have no pictures of this figure, all we have is one store saying that a new company in China will make Metroplex. When we get more of a confirmation, we will post it.
