Buyer Beware: Classic Rodimus Mold KO is Coming

Burning Rodimus!

This one looks like the infected Rodimus Prime from the cartoon "return of Optimus Prime"

Daaaaang.

He will bootleg anything and everything. The better questions to ask are:

1.) Why didn't he do it sooner?
2.) Why not rare items such as Lio Kaiser?

Seriously. There is so much potential here if he's going to bootleg everything under the sun. At least pick the really rare, really hard to find stuff that's in high demand.

Fortress Maximus, I can understand why it's not being bootlegged, I mean...it's TWO FEET of plastic and weighs several pounds.

But Classics Rodimus? Really? We have the original, we have clear "reissues", we have the black redecoes, we have the BiS boxset guy, and they're collecting dust at your local TRU as we speak.

So many other options off the top of my head. Seriously, this seems like a waste right now.

Hell yeah! That would have been a cooler Hot Rod/Rodimus then Under the Sea/Matrix glo
that E-hobby dropped (which is also , ok).

what ever it is i doubt itll be cheap, i need another classics rodimus to repaint but i dont feel like paying the prices he goes for. Id settle for a KO if it was cheap enough. was hoping the battle in space 2 pack would go on clearance but thats not going to happen. Im surprised we havent seen this mold get the KO treatment sooner.

You guys don't know what your are talking about I hope there's good visible difference so that everybody is happy... and I want a few to customize and thank god finally affordable!!

I'm not an expert or anything but I think those molds might harder to get a hold of.

1) He's been busy doing other molds. This is only my guess.
2) Perhaps he doesn't have originals to reverse engineer.

You are saying this as if it is bad news that we are actually getting a KO Wildrider and Shattered Glass Hot Rod with a realistic price tag.

Quite the opposite. This is FANTASTIC news.

Now the everyday, normal fan can finally be on the same playing field and actually afford to own a toy that has been bastardized to the pompous collecting "elite" snobs.

Thank you KO Toys! I will be ordering BOTH the Shattered Glass AND the Wildrider versions if produced.

Ummm....I was only pointing out that if you've been in the market for either figure recently you are "painfully aware" of their price. It had nothing to do with my approval or disapproval of these KO's.

There's no reason to call those who own these figures "elite snobs", they were both reasonably priced when they were released as far as exclusives go.

Some of these KOs are quite pricey and I'm not talking about the gold, silver, or whatever chromed pieces. KOs are suppose to be cheaper than the originals. Some of these are not by any means cheaper.

I personally would not mind a KO of Wildrider since I missed it's original release. I would love a Classics set of combining Stunticons.

I find it amusing that anyone thinks the Western market is presently the primary target for KOs.

Mirage I think is the worst mold in the Classics line. Unfortunately if I want a Stunticons team I'd have to find a Dragstrip of that mold.

I might have kept the e-hooby Rodimus except I did not like color scheme.
