The Chms classic seekers have poor eye mold, small pelvic balls that require clear coat to reach normality, and weak/light paint aps.

USA all the way! KO/Henkei, doesn't have the durability.

I agree, look how long it took for classics Thundercracker. If anything maybe a Botcon or club release.

Except they`ll end up looking like garbage and nothing like how the original should be. Plus they`re fake. Plus they`re knockoffs.


While some KO's may be garbage, anything by CHMS is the real deal. On par with the originals. Besides I dont pledge allegiance to any one company, I collect G1 characters and gladly support anyone who gives me a realistic shot at owning them.

I also got another idea :

With a little blue dye and a Hasbro Animated Starscream, it shuld be easy to create a quality version of Thundercracker. Blue dye will turn the lavender plastic to dark blue, the red paint apps should turn purple, and I suppose the black wrists and feet wont be affected or can be removed while dying. Should be easy as long as you can remove the cockpit to keep it yellow.

Rated X: I still don't think it justifies a KO simply so you can have a chance at affording it.

However, gying Plastic is quite easy. I'm going to be making a WFC Soundblaster soon by dying the plastic.

I may do that with a Starscream for a Thundercracker if I get bored.

Thundercracker giving collectors grief once again! I'm starting to think he enjoys it.

Also... Damn, I realize it's rare but that auction price is just too absurd for me.

Well my KO arguement will go on till the end of time.

I could actually afford this figure right now. But its not a matter of money, its a matter of principle for me. This figure is only collectible because somebody made it that way. It is not an antique that earned its value by surviving the battle with father time. Collecting should be about fun, not value. Theres plenty of stocks and bonds out there for people who are looking to invest $1000 for profit. Thundercracker is for the people. ;)

But if you do dye a Starscream, please post some pics. Id love to see how he comes out. :D

This isn't a collectible because someone "made it that way", it's because Animated was dead and cancelled an stores wouldn't carry any more to have more space for movie TFs.

OFF-TOPIC:
A KO is fine, if you know hat it is before hand, and you don't have 3, 4 or 5 digits to pay for a toy. If the KO will suit your needs than go for it. I don't like KO's either. I'm particular about that, but I won't knock a collector for getting one, as long as he is aware that it is a KO, and/or not trying to pass it off as the real deal to scam a buyer, then sure why not.

I like getting stuff for cheap. Really there is no justification for a KO ever, but copying has happened since the dawn of time.

I say in the end to each his own, and good luck.

TOPIC:
Again, it feels like 2007....
Since I really don't collect animated due to the first batch having QC issues, I wouldn't even care. Has/Tak could release the toys if they want, they just don't want to. Until the movie franchise comes to a close, movie verse will be it. HTC, TFCC could easily have sold this. We know it, it's just the way we expect HasTak to work with the releases SS, TC, SW. Then they could have done the others, but HasTask is so odd with scale, we get voyager here, activator there, deluxe here. I just don't care anymore.

$1000 could get me a lot of figures I'm missing.
