The reviews showed the many differences between the KO and the real Ratbat and I am more than happy to have the real thing. I've seen KOs and don't support them. Nuff said!

Ya mine just came in and looks great for parts that did not pass QA from Takara pants. order on November 7 came in December 1. Got to love Christmas time rush

Got mine yesterday. It's great. I'm happy with it.

Mine came in yesterday, wonky thruster, front not quite flush, but no other issues. At least it'll be easy to tell the KO from the genuine article. No stripped screws or stress marks, good paint, easily worth $20 and 3 weeks waiting. Still going to get a real Soundblaster set someday but this will tide me over 'til then.

I still don't see the point not owning sound blaster it's not as if he was a simple repaint, he was a big part in the reboot at the time. I guess each to their own but glad I have him on my display shelf

Sound blaster was only in the Japanese cartoon and therefore many of us have no attachment to him

What reboot? The Japanese shows were not a reboot they were the japanese transformers show that continued after the NA show ended. He was never a character in North American G1 continuity fiction. He was only in the Japanese Transformers headmaster cartoon and even in that he was just a simple repaint of soundwave just as blaster aka broadcast became Twincast after they fought to the death and got repaired. Same characters but different colours. I see no point owning him just for a accessory like rat bat.

Wasn't even Soundblaster just called New Soundwave (!) in one of the dubs?
