Is that Wheeljack real or is he a KO?!!!!

Is that Wheeljack real or is he a KO?!!!!

I'm pretty certain it's a KO. There is an extreme proliferation of the high-quality fake G1 figs in Southeast Asia, especially Wheeljack, Cyclonus, Scourge, Devastator giftset and Mirage. Practically every dealer is honest and up-front about it, usually volunteering the info that the item is a knockoff without being asked. They're still pretty pricey for fakes tho.

Cool,make me wish i was there.

[allspark99]

cool, not only are transformers there, but there's also Super Sentai and KAAAAAAAAAAAAMEEEEEEEEEEENNN RRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDEEEEEERRRRR!!

[dabattousai]

Cool, KO Wheeljack and Grimlock :p

[Stormrider]

I would be scared of buying figures at an event like this. I would have difficulty distinguishing the KO's from the real Macoys.

OMG i see a G1 MIB Wheeljack!
