Is this thread more for the 3rd party stuff that's intended for collectors and the old thread is more for the KOs that were intended for kids (like the ones I usually get here in China) but collectors snap them up anyway?

Nah, this is an all in one thread. Makes it easier to keep track of it all

My super fast delivery arrived this morning from Tony @ Chimungmung, say hello to...

KO Oversized Transformers Prime - Wheeljack & Dead End!

These guys are huge but faithful copies of the TFP Deluxe versions, putting them nearer Ultra/Leader/MP scale?

They look sweet up on the shelf by the other Masterpieces...

Thanks for those.

So mel how much were those a piece mate ?. It's a shame they didn't use Deadends original head but they look good how does the plastic feel.

This guy is fantastic!

The plastic quality is better than many of the tfs Hasbro is releasing these days and it was just $20 shipped :shock:

It's clear they are ripping off Universe Inferno, and I kinda like this version better :lol:

There is less arm kibble and similar articulation, with only the windows on Inferno being better.

This guy is worth the price and more. Thanks Robotmel for bringing this guy to my attention ;)^

If you are referring to my post, then you need to either have another look, or remind yourself what a robot looks like

I picked them up from Chimungmung.com, Wheeljack was $18 and Dead End was $15 with combined shipping, I got these two guys delivered for approx £21 each!

Plastic quality is very good, heavier than the MPs in the photos, which is good.
All joints on mine seem very good too, no lazy arms or legs! :lol:

I would like to pick up Oversized Optimus too, maybe next month? :-?

It's one of the slower sites for me as well, but not so bad here that its painful. Would be nice if they backed off on the js stuff a little.

On eBay from actionfigurechecklist. There are seven in the set and I've got the Scorpion/Tank triple changer on the way. Very good chance I'll get em all

He could be the Queen of Spain for all I care :lol:

He is awesome and either going to be a made up Autobot or Star Seeker, haven't decided yet :-?

Well, here he is, the Queen of Spain

He's not quite as good as the firetruck. Some of the components don't lock into place and there is no head or knee articulation, but he is solid and the plastic feels decent. Overall he is a great figure.

Just got to decide which self he will go on :-?

Planet X Genesis arrived this morning :KREMZEEK:

This guy is massive and awesome

News Credits: 14 · Sun Apr 14, 2013 7:05 am

Arrived the other day, I was finally looking forward to completing my Seekers via a seller on iOffer.com.
Being a KO I didnt want to pay much more than the regular cost of a generic Deluxe, so getting this fella for around £17 delivered felt ok.

Imagine my surprise when expecting the regular version, I actually received the ghost/crystal version?
Unsure whether to contact the seller, I now feel he will remain alongside his flying buddies.

Please welcome KO Transformers Henkei Skywarp!

Hehe, yep, I think so too. I just have to get around to it. I haven't had time to do much customizing lately unfortunately as it's been quite hectic at work. Hopefully things will calm down soon so I can get to him. I have some other customs that I've been wanting to get started on as well, but he's one of the ones I'm most anxious to get to.
