Takara Sports Label question

[Jin]

so i'm thinking of purchasing these at some point (anyone selling teehee...), however, I am curious are they any tells so I can determine which are authentic and which are knock offs? if you can't then I'll just stay away and hope for an unlikely re-release. thanks.

ive seen many knock off's of these and some of them are so good,right down to the packaging.the only way i can tell is by the takara stamp/logo,or if the coloring/paintjobs are off.good luck and happy hunting;p

I just bought a set of Nike Free 7.0 off craigslist. They are awesome KO. You can tell by the Chinese lettering. Real ones are in Japanese. The molds are a little loose so the joints dont hold up that good.

If you want to buy the KOs, let me know because i want to sell mine. I have Optimus and Megatron MIB. The boxes are awesome!

They are pretty great! The shoe mode I think is spot on with the originals. The robot modes, as mentioned, have the occasional loose joint but this may be the case with originals as well.

is the original still available in the market though?

I wish I got these when they came out. The box is tres cool.

I saw some on Ebay, selling at around $200 for the pair.
