(1) KO J-Decker (Yuusha Brave series)
A 'repaint' of the original J-Decker, should be same size, as this piece is very big. A bit disappointed, that it came without package, so cannot confirm if this is a 2nd hand piece or not... Yes, I am a hygiene freak who likes his KOs to come in package, as I don't know who has handle/play with 2nd hand toys before... The seller claims this is new but.... anyway, wipe the whole piece with wet tissue... thought is anti-bacterial tissues but ...
Edit:
Picture of J-Decker in robot combined form, after I use instant hand sanitizer to "cleanse" the figure, hahaha.... hygiene freak... It is around the same height as Masterpiece OP...
(2) KO Energon Prowl
Head is decapitated, hahaha... got this in a blur state of mind, just trying to get a normal size to 'replace' my KO Kabaya kit version... Like the all-silver chest, better than the police siren version...
(3) KO Animated Snarl
Again, bought this on impulse... sigh... but the bot mode looks cute lah, to be fair...
(4) KO Classics Ultra Magnus
Finally it arrive... now can form a real (KO) Ultra Magnus!!!!!!!!! (using the KO City Commander amour)...
Edit: Took some pictures of this new KO Ultra Magnus and his KO trailer.... of course, the best part is the armored Ultra Magnus form!!!!!!!
hmmm... BFG is too heavy... possible to convert it into a cannon or artillery gun???
(5) KO (Orange-Oversized) Insecticons
Impressive, silver-chromed parts and weapons, weapons!!!! This set of Insecticons costs around $20 only, only.... imagine $$$ need to fork out to get the real deal, deal... Really, if it is 'very hard to find' set, then I must be a very lucky guy, guy!!!! Sweet, sweet!!! Complete set of Insecticons, insecticons...

(6) KO Masterpiece Optimus Prime
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cost me around $62, which is around half the price of the real deal... plus long smokestacks too!!! ... Haven't fixed them yet... Very heavy... now realised why they say the waist is loose.. indeed the 2 magnets are missing... got to find some magnets... or such... Anyway, this piece is so nice that I am tempted not to paint his hands and feet to blue... Yes, it comes with the G1 Matrix, ion blaster, energon axe and the Megatron pistol!!!
Very broke but happy... hope the 2 parcels come soon...
How is the quality on the orange Insecticons KOs?
ReplyDeleteJoints are mainly loose, but the bodys' details are still not too bad. Plastic quality is KO-like, but not the super cheap type. For a KO, not too bad, got to do some work on them though.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reply. During your KO searches, have you come across any other insect type transformers that would fit in with the insecticons.
ReplyDeleteThese "http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=1374862324" ... or similiar...
ReplyDeleteUsed to have 3 of them (individual card packs) but throw away 2 after I concentrate on collecting TFs and Brave series, leaving only the black beetle... They are supposed to be based on a certain Armored Insect Battalion Beetras, not sure, but think the black beetle is similiar to Deluxe Insecticons Barrage...
I've seen those online, are the decently made? They look like they are made out of cheap plastic, but it's hard to tell from just a picture.
ReplyDeleteOk, not too bad, but still are KOs, so will not be as good...
ReplyDeleteHi,I was wondering where did you get the ko masterpiece optimus prime?
ReplyDeleteHi, hahaha... I posted in right at the beginning of the post, I got it from Taobao.com. It is sort of a china "ebay"... Will be easier if you can search in chinese though...
ReplyDeleteHave you seen any in singapore?thanks for the superbly quickie reply!
ReplyDeleteSadly no... dun remember seeing even in CSC... if you are in S'pore, you might want to get a local Taobao agent to help you purchase, my current agent is 65Daigou. I did a search and found this seller to be one of the cheaper KO MP OP "http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=10596216437". The long smokestacks at "http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=980896889".
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI'm new to this Taobao thing. Just wondering how do u get your agent to purchase on your behalf? I noticed that the smokestack link doesn't accept credit cards. How to buy in such instances?
Thanks!
Hi midicity, I currently use the service of local agent 65Daigou to purchase my Taobao stuff. Their website is www.65daigou.com, but you have to create an account 1st with them. They accept atm transfer, i-banking (certain banks), paypal, credit/debit (last 2 methods have to pay additional charges). If you are not in S'pore, probably you'll need to search for your local agents. If I remember correctly, Taobao only accepts their own China's local banks payments system. Oh, do note that sometimes Taobao prices are actually costlier than local prices, depending on their side (China's) demands. Hope this helps! =)
ReplyDeleteAkuna, Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteBeen reading your blog. You sure picked up some interesting stuff. I'm from Singapore as well :)
Have you considering getting a KO trailer for this KO MP-01?
Hi midicity, good to hear from another local collector! =) Nope, not thinking of getting a trailer for it.
ReplyDeleteWhich are the taobao shops that you are purchasing from? Any recommendations?
ReplyDeleteNope, usually I will search for the lowest price, so no particular shops.

ReplyDeleteHello, How Could i buy a OP KO masterpiece?, by the way I live in Peru
ReplyDeleteHi. I'm not sure if Peru has local agents for TaoBao.com, which I will recommend if do have. Buying direct from Taobao.com is a bit of hassle if you are not in China, as it requires their own local china banks for transactions... Not sure if E-bay still allows KO stuff to be listed now.
ReplyDeletehello friend, Might you tell me the page where you got the KO Masterpiece Optimus Prime? I am from Peru, tend not far from where you are and as you bought it? Greetings I leave my mail slaiferx000@hotmail.com, greetings, your transformers are great
ReplyDeleteHi, replied you in my other blog as I saw your comments at there first before reading this here.
ReplyDeleteHow's the quality of the optimus prime ?
ReplyDeleteLoose waist... not sure if it is inherent in the design... but other than that quite good...
ReplyDeleteAnywhere to get k.o or original dinobots in sg ?
DeleteTry CSC, eBay?
