Can't find anything about these, so was hoping someone could enlighten me.
Basically are these Knock Offs, or another company that was involved in the whole Gigi European mess at the time when they did the Italian side of things.
The Girlfriend has been trying to surprise me with a Leozack, but found this:

It's indeed a KO I'm afraid. The literally translated Engrish should be a dead give-away, as the fact it doesn't have "Transformers" anywhere.
I can't tell you anything about quality, but I may know the country of origin: South Korea, according to an online store that has a similar item. It has nothing to do with Globo Italy, but it's possible that company was nothing more but a simple importer.
The price that EBay auction is asking is way too much, it's worth only half to a quarter of that, max.

K.O. I can confirm that.
Also- the price is just stupid.

Yeah I'd never pay that for a KO, glad my GF didn't fall for it

I'd pay twice that no bother for an authentic one.

Really? Double? Just be patient and keep looking, you'll pick up on a deal sooner of later. My entire MIB collection consist of lucky shots.
