Chinese release G1 figures

So I was looking at the TFwiki site and I looked at some of the toyline releases for the G1 figures (US, Japan, Europe,etc) and I though it was interesting to see a toyline was released in China (apparently a Fortress Max was also released in China) during the late nineties.

For me I always thought that most of the Chinese releases were KO bootlegs. Does anyone have one of these Chinese variants? Does their packaging or toys differ a lot from the North American releases? Are these figures rarer than some of the European, South American releases?

Re: Chinese release G1 figures

I have some Korean Beast Wars II and Beast Wars Neo releases of a couple of figures, officially released through Takara, but their plastic quality differs slightly. They're official, just specific to Korea because that's where they were manufactured and to be sold.

Re: Chinese release G1 figures

Despite what people might think, China DOES get real toys too. It's a big country.

Re: Chinese release G1 figures

Of course! I manage to find this link on some of these Chinese releases from allspark (Allspark, 2007):

Kind of hard to tell apart from the bootlegs (apart from chinese characters!) I wonder how much some of these figures are worth? I kind of want those Korean editions too!
