Side-Tracked: Recent Haul of KO (18)

Yesterday's haul... at Tampines... Was not intending to buy initially, but sine it transforms to not very kiddish modes, so succumb to temptations in the end... $1.50 per piece... plastic quality is not the rubbery, low cost type that was commonly seen in the previous Rodimus Prime (Kabaya-style) box-set, or the Cybertron legends (Kabaya-style) packet-sets... but still I suspect I will still need my Selley's Plastic Glue if I need to glue...

There's 1 more construction vehicle-robot that I did not buy... Initially I thought this series is Big Adventures Gobots, aka Playskool Gobots... very similar but somehow there's some difference.. so I search using the Chinese name in the packaging "百变机兽-洛洛历险记", and then I realised this is the toy series of a China made KO cartoon of the Playskool Gobots... yes, KO CARTOON OF PLAYSKOOL GOBOTS!!!!!!!!!!!.. They modified the existing Playskool Gobots and made a (3D I think) cartoon series, and of course the toys... So technically, this Kabaya style kits are KOs of KOs... Searched the web and realised there are better made version of this snap-assembly kits, sold in boxes... but to me, these are good enuff...

Below shows the 2 of the bots... Left one transforms into helicopter, but I am missing the base piece of the canopy, so need to make one. Also have to use Tamiya plastic pins to hold the arms instead, as these are supposed to be in the missing piece... The red one transforms into a nice motorcycle, but the turning parts need to touch up, they fell off when turned....

The 2 other bots below transform into flying-tiger (left) and plane(right)... some modding needs to be done before fully transformable, so I leave them in bot mode... The front 2 are the bots in the above picture transformed....

Overall, nice little pieces... They don't transformed into too kiddish robots, so still acceptable...
