Side-Tracked: Recent Haul of KOs (50) - Assorted Oversized, Minis, and Weird Combi...

Bought these at Bedok Central, the stall where I got the simplified KO Legends Scrapper (see post Side-Tracked: Recent Haul of TFs (47) - ROTF BusterPrime Jetfire Pack, G1 Megatron, ROTF Sideways, KO Mini Inch Up & Starscream & Quickstrike for directions to get to that stall) ... All for SGD2.50 each, quite worth it...

KO Oversized Movie Blackout/ROTF Grindor/Spinister (???)
Whoa!!! Happy when I saw this figure stapled on the cardboard with other KO TFs, have always wanted to get a legends Movie Blackout / ROTF Grindor but never able to find it nowadays at shops, except sometimes in a 2-pack (which I don't want to spend for the other Legends figure...) ... also never received the replacement gift Mike offered to throw in since my 1st order from KOToys... so very happy to get one... especially an oversized one, hahaha.... No visible change in transformations, minor face changes, and slight changes to parts, eg. 6 blades down to 4, to accommodate the oversize (cost-saving??? copyright avoidance? No logic...)... hmm... should i repaint him into Spinister?????


KO Oversized ROTF Legends Optimus Prime (Simplified)
Yeah... sigh... yes, simplified, MISSING THE FOLD DOWN LEGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Silly KO-maker... Anyway, can make the legs with styrene sheet, should be no problem... Due to the simplified legs, the KO-maker swaps the 2 legs (attached to the ball-joints on the hips), got to switch back... Colour scheme is according to G1 cartoon theme, hahaha... and OP seems to be eating well, face is fatter... Oh, final note, this has a non-face-plate head!!!


KO Mini ROTF Plasma Punch Bumblebee
This little piece is so cute I cannot resist buying (which I initially did not want to buy)... Transforms fine, neat little car, except need to trim up, tighten some joints, and touch up paint... Fisted-arm is missing 1 swivel joint to make the lower arm rotatable... Knee joints could be lost too, did not really check... No missile as no firing mechanism....


Picture below shows comparison of both KOs... a bit misleading, the mini one should be smaller than it looks, compared to the original size one...


KO Mini Classics Hound (w/ Universe Legends Beachcomber Transformation)
Man, this is weird.... This is WEIRD... the KO-maker used Classics Hound for the body parts (especially the front), but the transformation is done using universe Legends Beachcomber's!!!!! This is.... is... not too bad... Just need some repainting.... Tracker Hound???? Combi Hound??? hmmmmm.... Maybe just Tracker... hahaha....
