Side-Tracked: Recent Haul of KOs (62) - G1/G2 Mirage, Oversize Alternator Rodimus, Guard Fire

Finally!!!!!! My package arrived!!!!!

KO G1/G2 Mirage
After so long, finally got the rare "Tutti-Fruity" version of Mirage!!!! Not many pieces left by the seller, so grab it while you can!!!! (Or check out with Mike from KOToys.com, probably he may still have some, check out this thread for more poison...)

The box it was contained in was good, but the card packaging is... torn and tattered... anyway... Plastic quality is bad, and the leg joints, waist joint are loose, arms are moulded in 1 piece without elbow joints ... So why do I still recommend it? Because it looks cute!!!!! So small!!! Never realised that G1 Mirage is so small...



KO Alternator Rodimus
A bit disappointed when I saw the size, thought will be bigger, but it is actually a bit smaller than leader class figures... Parts start to came off the moment I open the packaging... OK, I lied... 1 part already came off in the packaging... anyway, overall looks quite nice, will transform this figure if got time... Rims of wheels are chrome-painted, btw...



KO Guard Fire Set
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After years of waiting, finally collected all 4 members of the Guardion Team!!!!!!!!!! Happy.... until I pick the Guard Fire out of packaging...
Some background: This piece was packaged together with the KO Alternator Rodimus, and the seller from TaoBao just placed the 2 together and used the cardboards to wrap around each other to form a box, and added some other packaging card to cover the remaining sides... and wrap this with a black trash bag... End of background...
Now with all the rough handling, the back part of Guard Fire literally crushed into bits and pieces... no kidding... managed to piece up the "larger" pieces and had to fill the small gaps with tissue+super-glue...


And when I finally open up the rest of the members, the pieces give way too... sigh... spent my precious time repairing... and still not done yet... Sigh.... Anyway, tried to form up the gestalt... and here goes:

Guardion!!!!!!!!!!


Super Guardion!!!!!!!!!!


Not too bad! And btw, the Met-on (means Helmet-on: the individual robots, except Guard Wing, have a back pack to spring out a helmet when they shout" Met-on!" in cartoon) function is still found in the KOs, sweet...
