The title says two shields but I only see one.

It looks like one is metalic, and one is just grey. Good marketing gimmick I guess.

So what are these KOs off?
So far Unknown Factory Originals has done nothing but Kos, so I wouldn't exactly consider them a 3rd party company.

It's a re-design of what Big Hache has done.

Looks like UFO has been "stealing" from shapeways designers.

Question: Have we seen any pricing on these?

It does seem a lot of what gets through testing via 3D printers Shapeways is becoming the poaching ground for 3rd Party/KO factories?

No more low quality... no wait? Oh my! :HEADHURTS:

I find it ironic that the company that calls itself Unknown Factory Originals produces nothing but KOs.
Can we please stop calling them a 3rd Party company now and just call them as what they are? A KO manufacturer.

I agree, BUT, I'd say they aren't even KO worthy... all they do is steal designs off Shape Ways.
I'd call them Unoriginal, and thief's.

If you guy's like these products, support the guys who took the effort to design them, and buy off Shape Ways.
