KO Gallery on front page?

Do you love your new Hercules set? Can't get enough of FansProject's items? Upset that you bought a knock off when you thought you were getting an original? Use this forum to tell everyone your thoughts about unlicensed and knock off TF products.

KO Gallery on front page?

Eh? I thought the days of non-TFs were done, but I see 4 new galleries of a KO version of Reflector, right on the front page.

As I said before, eh?

It's an old gallery. As to why it's showing up on the front page, I don't know. I can understand your curiosity, though. Seems we're a bit inconsistent sometimes.

That's what I thought, but then I checked the date in the image info and found out it was last edited today. On top of that it uses the same background as the SD Optimus Prime gallery and the watermarks are the current logo font.

I looked at the images and there are a few comparison shots, with the original figures. So I guess this is a 'buyer beware' situation. I still found it odd though, it was like going back in time a couple of years :)

The images are also labeled with the "New" icon at the bottom on the front page.

I think this is actually a great idea! If Ryan has some of these KOs and can take some high quality comparison pics so we all can see the differences, I would applaud. :APPLAUSE:

Hasbro's Reflector will be posted in the next few days. I'm trying to shed some light on Reflector since he is long overdue for a reissue. I'm hoping this might light a fire under someone at Takara to help make this happen for all of us.

I had this KO from 2010 that I got with KO Metrotitan. I thought both were unique enough that they deserved comparison shots with the vintage products. I had to take pics of the KO Reflector for its eBay listing so it seemed silly not to take advantage of that for some additional content for Seibertron.com.

KO Metrotitan will get the same treatment at some point.

Fair enough, that makes sense. It's a pretty good KO, so I guess this gallery might inform some folks and stop them being ripped off. Viewfinder's visor seems to be the only obvious giveaway.

Thanks for the comparison shots! Your efforts in these matters are always appreciated. :D
