Hasbro sold off one of their factories in China with many moulds still inside. Whoever bought the factory also bought the moulds. If this company then remakes the toys and sells them they are legal. However, they are not licensed to uses the Trademarked name and box style. So the Fig, is a G1 mould redone, however, the boxes and names are illegal KO's.
Weird huh, if only Has/Tak had the forsight to hold onto the moulds.

The only really big difference is the beak, the KO has a clear plastic beak which looks a little naff close up but on display with the other dinobots he fits in nicely.saintsfan1983 wrote:whats the quality of the KO Swoop? I always wanted one as a kid but damn parents always said no.
