KO of Lucky Draw Gold Henkei Convoy has been produced

Posted by Delicon Mar 18, 2010 at 6:16pm CDT 51,549 views
Some of the rarest of the rare Transformers finds have always been the ultra limited "Lucky Draw" figures.

One such figure has been the TV Magazine Gold Henkei Convoy, a gold chromed version of Classics/Henkei Optimus Prime. Until now, the chances of the average Transformers fan even finding one, let alone affording one have been slim.

That is until now, sort of. GenZhao of KOtoys.com has officially announced a series of KOLD figures (Knock Off Lucky Draw) that will begin with KOLD LE 01 GOLD OP. If all those abbreviations flustered you, the figure is actually a knock-off version of Gold Henkei Convoy and will be limited to 250 pieces.

Here are a couple of images of the figure. The rest can be found by clicking here.

As always, thanks for visiting Seibertron.com, the Ultimate Transformers Resource!

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

It's perty. If it were the real thing, I would be all over it, but I have probably one too many KO's in my collection already.

I love shiny figs though. 'Golden Lagoon' anyone?

Just look at the chrome (or lack of it) on the upper arms, end of the gun, tip of the larger gun, and the back part that would cover the head.

It's nice for a KO and all, but $60 nice? I'm not sure about that.

Hopefully you will never give a woman a cubic zirconia instead of a diamond.

A company actually announcing a limited edition KO?! From a world where apes evolved from men!?!

Oh wait, that's right, Hasbro/Takara only crack down on KOs that I actually want. If that chrome's anything like the transmetals, you'd better invest in glossy spray sealer, or else that electrum will flake off in a few years. Of course that has yet to happen to the gold on my Big Lots Primal Prime KO. And yet my Shokaract is spider-webbing...

Err, speaking of Big Lots KOs, has anyone heard any announcements concerning those deluxe-sized remolds of Legends of Cybertron figs?

So...a KO of a lucky draw that itself is also limited? Image

Looks like we need another KO for general release. :P

LOL.. I know its rare for me to open my Transformers, but during the Beast Wars era, I opened all of them. I was just getting back into Transformers and hadn't started MISB collecting at that point :)

After this and the miniature MP Prime, it's apparent that KO's are OK as long as they're from Seibertron.com sponsors and not just Chinese vendors. :roll:

KO Toys is not a sponsor. He/they post here and provides pics of upcoming toys, but isn't a sponsor.

I have ordered from KO toys, I ordered the KO Classics Thundercracker and Skywarp. Shipping was pretty fast (took about a week from China to Philly, going through NYC), and I got a shipping conformation email with tracking information.

I would recommend them and plan on ordering from them again.

I would order one of these Kolds, but I am a little short :-x .

KO Toys is NOT a Seibertron.com sponsor. Sponsors are not allowed to advertise knock offs on Seibertron.com, though unofficial items like City Commander or the Cobra Headmaster are ok ... and they're only OK because everyone seems on board with them, which I personally think is unfortunate.

Knock offs are not OK, but what can we do? I think everyone here knows about how I feel personally about knock offs. I don't think we should even be posting news about it, but the masses have spoken because a lot of fans want to see things like City Commander. We provide news about these items as a service to those of you who are interested in it. Hasbro has put us in a tough spot regarding these types of products because they haven't come down with a heavy hand to put a stop to things like this. So, unfortunately, we have to report it as news.

If I had it my way, there would be ZERO official site news about knock offs and unofficial products.
