Knock Off Transformer Dinobots

[supermanTF]

Hello all:

G1 Dinobots being so expensive I am thinking about getting the Knock Off Versions. There's different opinions but how are they in terms of

1 Can I transform them a couple of times without breaking them?
2 How are they in quality?
3 If you bought them from EBAY there's a few of these China places - are they the same or does it matter where I purchase them?

Does anyone have them? And I will take them out of the box and display and occasionally transform them.

Any help? and Thank you

I own a set plus I also got the Diaclone Swoop KO and Red Slag KO. The latter two are really good quality, but also much more expensive. The main set were $150 back in the day. They serve their purpose. They transform nicely, some loose joints, some uneven gold chrome, red paint is dodgy in some parts. Snarl is the worst of the five. I bought them off EBay and added reprolabels. No regrets.

Bought a set, they were shit, sold them back right away. The review I posted in 2014:

I got the whole set for $110 plus shipping a few weeks ago, and all figures have issues. I was hoping they'd be better, but they all feel like what they are, knockoffs, and not quality reissues.

Problems:
-Grimlock has loose lower t-rex legs, so in robot mode, the foreams want to slide out over the fists all the time
-Grimlock has a molding issue on his chest metal bar making it risky to move the chest up for robot mode because there isn't enough clearance
-Grimlock's sword won't fit because of extra plastic flash
-Slag has very loose fists that don't stay out
-Slag's weapons are loose in both fists
-Swoop has a very loose left wing
-Swoop's launchers don't fit at all his wings (posts are too wide and too long)
-Swoop's missiles were too long and rounded, had to cut the posts to fit
-Snarl's tail has molding issues and doesn't close properly
-Snarl's dino head also has molding issues and doesn't close properly
-Snarl's robot chest has a nasty gap in the middle
-Sludge's lower dino jaw moves more or less freely in the dino head
-several chroming issues on all 5 Dinobots, making the chrome black/dirty
