With the release of the KO Vintage looking Generation 1 Mirage, one had to wonder if this might happen, especially with the recent E-Hobby BT Electro Disruptor Clear Rijie (Mirage), and the recent 2007 Botcon Transparent Blue Mirage Give Away Figure.

Here we have an auction for the GHOST version of G1 Mirage, although it is a KO version, so the quality is unknown, and likely to be poorer than the quite fragile vintage G1 version.

Here ARE some images for you too!





It looks so cool, I have bought one for my collection to complete the 'invisible' Mirage set!!

[megatroptimus]

$95 for a knockoff? No thanks.

[soundwave13c]

so i guess its not made out of meatal

[lanzajr26]

Hmm, slightly cool, but still suffers from paint apps over nice clean clear plastic.

[City Commander]

cool though

[Overcracker]

Very Cool, not 79.95 cool. but cool non the less.

I wonder what kind of plastic quality it has?

It would look so cool in a dark display case, with a black light.

[Tigertrack]

I'll let you know about it when I get it.

Seeing as how the regular addition KO's of G1 Mirage are going for about that much, I figured I'd give it a shot.

Buzz kills...

[Overcracker]

oohh nifty. Congrats. We are expecting lots of pictures showcasing its transparent self.

[Zeds]

Nice. This will go great alongside my BT-18 Rijie.

[opjet]

ive got to say that's 1 fine sexy g1
figure damn

[Ravage XK]

I actually like it.

Looks like its made from ice!

This seller already sold his first wave. They were priced at $74.95. He bumped up to $79.95. Way too pricey for a KO. I'm in agreement on that. Cut the price in half, then I may buy.

[HighPrime]

oh, and this is how the price gets jacked up further by posting on the TF boards... then you have a landrush all at the same time ;-p

[HighPrime]

Sorry... one more comment...

I'm opposed to sharing news.. I'm just noting, all ;-p

[HighPrime]

crap.... I meant to say I'm NOT opposed to sharing news... not a good day today ^o^

[Supreme Convoy]

For a knock off, at least it looks cool.

[CyberTooth]

Seeing these pictures gives me an idea for my BT-Mirage.

Of all the KO's to purchase this is a very cool one. I'm sure that Tigertracks won't be disappointed with it, so long as its in one piece.

[Flux Convoy]

Looks pretty cool.

[i_amtrunks]

Much prefer the coloured version than the ghost.

Certainly not worth the price.

[Liege Evilmus]

That's better than porn!!!!!!!!!!!

[PrimulArchangel]

everyone is complaining about the price , i think if takara released it everyone would want it lol .. I think it looks badass myself and if i didnt just buy MP Megs i would have bought one of these for sure.

[Tigertrack]

Meh, everyone has their own feelings about KO's.


All the G1 accurate vintage KO's have been expensive as of late, Swoop, Prime, now Mirage, the soon to come Wheeljack, they cost more than Takara would price them at. Takara would have the advantage of higher quality, but also higher production run numbers.

I see this as a variant. I have other KO variants of TFs, and I have been quite happy with them, but they are usually different colored versions than their vintage shelves.

This was too hard to pass up, as it was a sweet transparent figure, and a KO of the hard to find Mirage mold. I hope it is relatively tight and doesn't have that cheap feel.

If it does, oh well, I'm treating him as an exclusive version of the fig, even if it is just a KO to me it's a cool variant that I couldn't pass up.

[1337W422102]

That looks pretty darn cool.

Oh, and you mean 'Here ARE some images for you.' Careful, tigertracks!

[HighPrime]

Well, this seller's on his 3rd wave now...

1st wave @ 74.95 (sold out)
2nd wave @ 79.95 (sold out)
3rd wave @ 84.95 (2 available)

[Auto Bot]

I don't buy this transparent Mirage idea.
