Side-Tracked: Recent Haul of KOs (96) - KO Misc. Kabaya Kits, KO Music Knights, KO Crumplezone (Downsized), KO G1 Mindwipe

Haul from 65Daigou arrived last night... Mixed feelings... Mostly due to the KO Kabaya Kits... damn...

KO Miscellaneous Kabaya Kits
Sign... Ordered 14, only 8 usable, 2 repeat, 3 already gotten, 1 is too simplified... AND THE WORST IS THE SPYCHANGER OPTIMUS PRIME PACK IS PACKED WITH WRONG SPRUES!!!!!!!! #$^&!##... And the bottom leftmost 4 are packed with WET sprues!!!!!! WTF... Dunno what the liquid is, so wash away immediately... Some molds are simplified, eg. Brimstone (beast), now got 2 robot modes instead... sigh...



KO Music Knights
Music Knights (音乐奇侠) is a new China cartoon, and the toys I bought are the KO ones. Seem to be quite good... Basic concept is a rider with a bike that transform into a robot, with the rider controlling it in the middle of the robot body, quite nice... they are basically part formers though, need to plug in the lower arms and lower legs, and some small parts... The KO ones seemed to have the weapons permanently molded in the hands... So need to mod in the end, for minimum part forming.. best is no part forming...




KO Crumplezone (Downsized)
Yes, I suspect this is the downsized version, as I measure it to be around 15.5 cm, which is different from the 18cm as stated in Cliffbee's. Doesn't matter, as this TF is quite good. Although no clear plastic, almost all the joints are pretty ok. Not very tight, but definitely good. Plastic quality is just just slightly below that of Hasbro's... In fact, quite comparable with Hasbro's recent TFs' plastic...



KO G1 Mindwipe
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!! The gem of this haul! So long have I wanted to collect the Headmasters but they seem to have disappear from the surface of earth... So I did not even consider the price when I saw this in TaoBao... Very brightly coloured, Mindwipe is cruel... Why? Because he has chopped off Vorath's arms and legs!!!! .... Hahahaha.... Yeah, Vorath came without his limbs nor the face cover... need to give him limbs... The chest's Tech Specs feature is removed, and weapons are different. So happy to have gotten this piece...


This is hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!! Wahahahahaha..... Batman mode!!!!!!!!! Hahahahahaha.......
