So I'm looking at BBTS and found some nicely priced Beastwars Neo figures, but they say Korean Box. Does anyone know if there is a difference in the actual toys at all, or is it just packaging difference? :???:

Thanks

I believe just packaging, they're perfect for opening.

Like Nekoman said, same quality, different (usually shoddier) packaging.

The only difference I know on the actual figures themselves is that the Korean Big Convoy head isn't nearly as solid blue as the Takara release. It's a bit lighter. Otherwise from everything I've heard, they're essentially the same.

I believe it is the same. The toys are licensed by TAkara to Sonokong. Korea does a similar thing with Brave Toys, and some RID. Much of Beast Wars II toys were produced as well. That's how I got BB and Starscream.

May I add that Armada has also been released by Sonokong?

One thing about those releases: all use the Hasbro versions of the molds, if applicable. For instance, Sonokong Black Convoy has the rounded sword tip and blank discs of RiD Scourge.

Thanks, Good to know for future reference, and the Big Convoy blue head.

Thank you all for such quick reply's :KREMZEEK:
