I found these on ebay

One of the sellers info says its not a takara product but that seems to be in his template? Is there anyway we can verify these?

There's no entry for a Crystal ramjet, one has never officially been produced, ergo, it's a Knockoff.

They are indeed. The only official "crystal" crystal seeker is Starscream, and I think that the one you've linked is legit.

It isn't to say they're of crummy quality; they're decent but not of Hasbro's quality level.

I was suspecting it was CHMS, but doesn't it usually say CHMS somewhere on the package? For references, TC, CHMS is a well known KO-ing company, who make decent quality KOs. They're famous for the MILLIONS of seekers they've done and other Classics molds.

I believe it's a different company, but the KOld Konvoy line is pretty interesting. A KO company did a bunch of different versions of the Classics Optimus Prime mold; one in particular, KOld Blue Konvoy, I might like to get my hands on at some point.

They did that for some figures, but it only seems many of their early direct KO jobs had their name up there. I know their Rainmakers had the Takara Tomy logo and I think their Crystal Seekers did too.

The clear Ramjet looks pretty nice. I'd go in for a full set of clear Seekers.I'm not a KO hater so even if this is/ a full set were only available as KOs, I could deal.

I think at one point you could get them all crystal as KO.
I think Rated X has them. He may show pics if you ask. I might be wrong though.

The price alone indicates it has to be a knockoff. There's no way they'd be selling Takara seekers at that price, let alone some kind of special edition clear seekers.
