KO G1 Skywarp?

Postby DomeLord » Thu Dec 09, 2010 12:06 pm

Hi there, I've got a G1 Skywarp that I got off ebay a year or so ago, and was looking to sell it on now as its been gathering dust. But on closer inspection it doesnt appear to have any copyright on it. I had the other seeker jets and they all had copyrights etc. This one certainly doesn't look new like a ko, all the colours are normal, sticker damage/fade etc. But why no copyright where they usually have them. Could it be someone replaced the leg with a KO one or it is indeed a KO?

I've included some photos of it if anyone can shed a bit of light on the situation, thanks if anyone can help!

Also it looks faded in the pics but thats just the flash from the camera, and the odd colour by the null ray is blutac as its slightly broken and falls out all the time.

I have seen 3 different types of G1 Skywarps all of thme are the real deal, first the black rubber nose cone, the black plastic nose cone and the purple plastic nose cone. all of them have the copyright and manufacturer and country labeled on them where you said the text was on your other seekers.

It is KOs of them made in Brazil, Mexico and Italy back in the 80ies some of the first batch of G1 transformers. They was often sold as "real" but you could see it on Spanish/Portuguese or Italian text on the boxes. All of them was no rub sign on them so they can be mistaken for prerub sign. If they was labeled with copyrights, year and country i dont know, but they was a reason we got rub signs on them.

Appreciate the reply, thanks a lot.
This one in question has a rubber nose cone, but no markings, no copyright or foreign writing anywhere. Its a real mystery to me whether its real or an unknown knock off:-|

It could be one of the K.Os from Hong Kong back in the 80s\early 90s. They are of impressive quality and at the time, had such accurate boxes they used to put a "Made in Hongkong" (in Chinese) on the front. If only modern forgers were so kind to be that obvious.

The hong kong and macau transformers from he 80/90ies isn't really KO for they was licensed and sold on the chinese market just as the Korean made cybertron transformers aren't either KOs for they are after all licensed.


But if it was one of the hong kong made ones would he have hong kong written where the normal Japan markings are written.
