Already? Wow! That is fast work, or an inside job. The 3rd party pieces aren't even out yet. I won't be picking up the 3rd party let alone the KOs.

I would have loved for the Jizai figures to have been mass released. Some KO figures are a hard thing for me to get behind though. With so much Powerglide love coming down the road, this isn't really needed anymore. Feels like a quick cash in. I'll be keeping an eye on this but I'm fairly certain I'll let this one slide.

I'd love to get a KO off the Wheelie if that would mean an affordable version of that amazing figure - but only because it just has been very available for most of us. Not really into this one as Hasbro has already covered the mini/legends size pretty well, and don't need 3 or more third party versions to cover the same ground!

Good job !!!
That guy needs a reality check with his prices. Somebody has a Cyclonus/Wheelie kit on e-bay collecting dust for 900 dollars. Ill pop on a KO but Im looking foward to the other 2 versions more...

He does not need a reality check on his prices, I've explained before and I'll do it again even though I know you'll just ignore it.
Jizai Toys is a tiny little garage kit/designer toy studio that makes very short runs of their kits (around 70 per kit).
These kits are only sold at the Wonder festival in Japan under a one day licence from Takara.
Jizai is not interested in making a profit, all they care about is making back their investment so that they can get to business on their next project. They can only make a limited amount of these and sell them on a one per customer basis.
The prices you see on ebay are inflated and do not reflect what they actually cost. The ebay prices contain the following:
Add to that that people love these kits and that the Wheelie and Cyclonus kits are damn old and no-longer available and go for ridicules prices in auctions. And those 900 dollars is just the ultra high mark-up buy it now price, complaining about the company that makes the kits just because some ebay seller wants 800% of what he originally payed is like complaining about Hasbro's pricing when someone goes and wants to sell a 20th Any Prime for 1000 dollars.

- The Wonder Festival entrance fee the seller payed
- The original price of the kit
- Commission for the people the guy payed to get multiples of the kit
- Mark up since the seller wants to make a profit

Personally,IMHO,The DOTM basic sized Powerglide is a extremly decent & size correct scaled G-1 Powerglide toy. why spend 3rd party prices when the DOTM Powerglide is cheaply priced.

Aesthetically, it doesn't work for some people, myself included.
