Side-Tracked: Recent Haul of KOs (105) - Many KOs... & Bootleg???

Haul from TaoBao came tonight!!!!!

KO Miscellaneous Kabaya Kits
Very happy that finally can get a Universe (2003) Optimus Prime kit... Not very happy that the Spy Changer Mirage is packed with 1 piece of the Universe OP instead... sigh... Anyway... cost approx $3.45 for the 6 packs, so if even is $3.45 for just 1 Universe (2003) Optimus Prime kit is still worth it... for me...



KO Green Classics Mirage
... aka Acid Disruptor... Hahaha.... gotten this to replace my "hipless" old KO yellow version... Have not opened up, so not sure how is the quality... Cost is approx $3.40...

Edit: Joints, except waist, are quite tight!!!! Amazing... Plastic is a bit brittle though, but seriously who in the right mind expects superb quality plastics from a cheapo KO?? This Mirage on this packing comes in red and blue... Highly recommended...



KO Oversize DOTM Legends Crankcase
Upsized to about Scout class... Again, not opened up yet... Cost is approx $2.70...

Edit: A bit disappointing, feet is slightly simplified, ball joints at arms keep popping out, some loose joints and no small little hands at the arms... But the "middle finger" (aka Deadpool's sword blade from X-Men Origin movie, hahaha...) still remains...



KO Oversize DOTM Legends Topspin
Upsized to about Scout class... Again, not opened up yet... Cost is approx $2.70...

Edit: This is an amazing piece... When I lift it out from his plastic bubble tomb, he remain rigid like a statue... I mean, no signs of limbs of parts moving slightly... wow... Joints are indeed tight... and partly probably due the simplicity of the design... wow...simple...



KO Oversize Crossover Spiderman (Racing Car)
Wow!!!! Did not expect this to be an oversized piece, thought is original (roughly) voyager sized... Man, it is huge, around 23 cm... and it is BLUE!!!!!! Blue Venom!!!! Or Aqua Spidey!!! Hahaha.... Not open up, so not sure of the quality... Cost is approx $15.55.

Edit: Plastic is of near shampoo bottle quality... near, but not quite like it... Some joints are tight... and the leg joints, by virtue of the KO-ers missing out the ratcheting part, actually allow the legs to be a slightly wide and more natural position when standing, compared to the original one (that I saw some reviewers mention in Youtube)... Need to tighten the joints on the legs though... Not sure if the original transformation intend to let the hip-piece to be connected to the two long headlight pieces or not, because by doing so, the arms are easier to be posed using the shoulder joints only...



Bootleg DOTM Voyager Fireburst Optimus Prime
Wow, except for a few loose joints at legs, and an axe that needs to recalibrate the gears, all is fine with this bootleg!!!! Had fun and frustration transforming him just now... Cost is approx $28.50.



Now waiting for my other haul to arrive!!! KO Oversize G1 Hardhead, KO Overly-simplified Leader DOTM Sentinel Prime, etc...
