KO Superion quality?

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Transformers...JXcu:rk:3:pf:0


Any idea if it's a exact duplicate of G1 or if it's a complete fail?

No real way to tell.

Me, I would also have concern about the 41-75 business day delivery estimate.

Re: KO Superion quality?

It’s not terrible
The differences in the box are whiter grid lines, sunburst colour and fireflight reads firelight.

The bots are pretty solid but some of the combiner connectors can be abit wonky making the arms stick out too far and the legs not perfectly level

I had a KO Defensor and after about 3 yrs the plastic on the motorcycle disintegrated. The plastic was bad. However I don't think it was a KO of the same quality as this. I think these newer ones might be a bit better

Re: KO Superion quality?

for KO that's a bit much I find.

1/3 of that price, less fancy packaging, but figures probably the same.

Different packaging.

I have no ideal about quality, different packaging, see the images to judge for yourself, but looks very similar for the actual figures.

Quality of these is what the term KO should apply to. Very bad.

The one on eBay is about the same quality as a Takara reissue.

I own those and the original figures and the quality is very close between the eBay one and originals. But you will probably not be happy with the stickers and need to buy a new set from reprolabels.

As for the aliexpress ones, they are garbage.

You're probably right, but G1 KO are hit and miss... I've seen a few in very cheap boxes that were excellent, and others in fancy boxes that were horrible.

The CW KO I did get (Bruticus members that I was missing) are on par with all other CW and POTP I have, or at least very hard to see any difference in quality.
