Recent Restoration & Fiddling with KOs...

Restore or fiddle with the following KOs these few days... Umpteen left to do...

KO TFA Oversize Optimus Prime
Not much done in vehicle mode... yes, this is the voyager version which has been oversized to leader size...


Made a face mask which is missing... Ugly but still looks better than the un-mask face... Tighten up the joints and such.. Quite a nice piece...



Sorry for the bad picture... Did not fix the picture before posting...



KO Oversize ROTF Dirtboss
This is oversize to deluxe size... Joints are often loose, but without simplification... This should be the correct size for ROTF Dirtboss... same for ROTF Ransack...



Repainted the figure too... Too tired to relink the earlier posts of the KOs before mod, so please do a quick google if you'd like to compare, sorry & thanks...



Love this figure very much... Size comparison below...




KO Mini Inch Up (Cybertron Dirtboss)
Yes, I call this mold Inch Up, its Japanese name, to avoid confusion with the ROTF version... It is roughly scout size, and very cute..


The wheels-spread feature still exists & without the need to use CyberKey!!!!!! Hahahah...


Bot mode... Has a different head sculpt... Quite simplified, guns cannot flip forward, but still, a nice piece...



KO Oversize ROTF Ransack
Yes, the oversize version... The stupid KO maker actually joins up the arms to the wings, so have to pull out the small ... arrghh.. difficult to explain... anyway... restore it back... not able to remove the "missiles" on the top wings, as ... too lazy, hahaha... anyway, it might look ugly after removing, if not done properly... ok, I am lazy... hahaha... Did not realise the weapons on the arms are reverse until pictures are taken, so just leave them alone... The stands on the plane body to support the top wings are too long, got to cut them shorter... Ankle joints are loose too...



Awesome after restoration....


Size comparison....




KO G1 Headmaster Skullcruncher (Repaint)
Just felt like repainting the arms of Skullcruncher, although I do not have the right paint colours... So gotten the nearest colours and did a repaint.. Then realised still can do some more restorations... like ratcheting mechanisms of the lower legs, waist twisting piece, etc... Below shows the before and after of the alligator mode... Looks nicer after repainting the front limbs right? Hahaha....



Bot mode's before & after... Did some minor paint touching up for the face too...




65Daigou has shipped my earlier items to Singapore already, but I am hesitant to make 2nd payment & delivery, as realised the shipping weight could be wrong... also wants to wait till my KO Sixshot (old-D; lousy quality version) is shipped to S'pore, then deliver together... Hope they respond to my enquiry soon...

  2. Hi bro Bryan,

    Thanks for the compliment, mine is just a small collection, and I'm sure there are many collectors out there with umpteen times more quantitative and impressive than mine. Sorry & no offense, but I do not leave contact, we can chat here too... Haha, CSC is a nice place to go, but prob I will be going there lesser liao, due to some reasons... Oh, I do usually write where I bought my KOs and TFs in the posts themselves; now usually get from TaoBao, through the agent 65Daigou.com. Hope this helps! =)
