Does anyone have any info on this? I was unaware that Abominus was available as a reissue/KO...I saw it on ioffer.com

Anybody know anything about the quality?

Thanks!

Don't know which one you're talking about, but I had a KO Abominus a number of years back, and the only real difference visually was that some of the colors had been swapped around. I remember Rippersnapper having a blue body with white limbs, while the real one has the whiteish body and blue limbs.
That's it as far as the look of it went. Quality wise, it was sturdy and the plastic was pretty ok, but once you plugged the limbs in, it was terrible trying to seperate them. The Cutthroat got stress marks right away at his robot head/limb connection block and I couldn't pull two of the others out after I'd connected them to Hun-Grrr. I was ok with that, since I only wanted the guys combined, but if you want to switch limbs or transform individual guys, this one wasn't too great.

yeah, I saw it on IOFFER.com, and I know they are mostly KOs on that site.

Hmmmmm, 85 bucks for a minty fresh Abominus, sounds good to me.
