Cool custom. Are you the seller or something? Or are you asking if you should bid?

It looks to me like it's a KO more or less. It could be a custom like the seller in the auction says, but I'd venture a guess it's something from the KO makers.

Either way, it's nicely done, but not worth the money asked.

Seeing as the ONLY reissue of him to come out so far was a knock off in the g1 colours, it's so unlikly that this is anything other than a knock off too I'm utterly surprised people have even brought the question up.

No doubt about, this be a knock off. Not a bad looking one, but a knock off none the less.

I hate that "safety" duckbill that's on his beak.

Didn't the Diaclone (better) mold have it more sharp?
Why make a clone figure, but leave safety junk on?

Like, if you were to clone a Kickback figure, you likely wouldn't want the safety rounded wings of the US version, right?

Is that fake or something doesn't look so real to me... as in the quality of the product.

by **Bonger** » Tue Jun 19, 2007 3:37 am

The question of is it fake, obviously it is.

That aside, I might have to get this. After getting the Black KO Prime, I am in love with the black redeco KOs.

Tis the lack of shininess what invade yon eyeballs.

Heh, f the black one. The seller has Diaclone and anime colored Swoops as well. Damn, I am going to have to get the anime one. It looks awesome.

As cool as that anime one is... that **** duckbill is killing it for me.

Nothing a little surgery can't fix.

That..."duckbill" is part of the original mold. Seeing as this is a direct 1:1 copy, the new figure would remain true to the original.

Surgery.
Hahahaha, oh, yeah right.
Surgery.

THIS surgery was supposed to just be the simple application of a Decepticon symbol:

Does that look "little" to you? Hmm HMM HMM?

Untrue.

It matches the godawful US nose, not the original mold before USA child safety junk.

Lolz notice how everything you see in a toy/card series that is shiny most of the time is fake!

by **Bonger** » Tue Jun 19, 2007 5:25 am

Point to note. I have read the KO Swoop does cip easily especially on the chrome. I'd imagine these are the same. So, this would be display only.

REMOVED PICTURE

Um...that's what I said. It matches the original. As in the US original. I owned him, I know the "duckbill" is there. I've never owned, nor actually looked at a Japanese version, in depth so I wouldn't know if it would have it or not. Going based on what I owned, I was correct in saying it is a 1:1 copy of the original. Not to mention, he obviously used the American and not the Japanese mold for his basis, so again...I was correct.

Thank you, come again!*
