Side-Tracked: Recent Haul of KOs (168) - Cattoys Victory Saber Set, KO Zarak / Spike Headmasters

Haul from Taobao.com arrived a few days ago.. And got a wrong but "upgrade" item... I had ordered an old KO Robotmaster Star Saber, but the seller sends a... Cattoys Victory Saber Set??!! Hmmm.... Anyway, it is a nice "mistake", but frankly, the either the QC is not good, or my set is a rejected version... It comes in a very nice box, with a KO booklet too...




Has these imprints... Star Saber's location is less visible in both modes, but Victory Leo has this printed in the wrong place and looks ugly especially in robot mode...



No Brain of Courage for the Robotmaster version, only Saber and "Star" (??!!!). The material seem to be of a rigid rubbery plastic, is good but can still feel it is slightly slightly inferior... lots of unclean sprue-cuts and many joints are either too tight or too loose...




However, Saber has very loose leg/thigh joints and thus the jet mode's front always "look sad" (droop down)...




Love the combine jet mode... and it reminds me of the G1 Darkwing and Dreadwind combine jet mode... Victory Leo has super tight thigh joints that makes it impossible to push in all the way when transforming the Victory Saber feet part... Need to work on this part... Oh, this set costs approximately $12.05...




Also bought 2 cheap KO Zarak-Spike Headmasters, to be used for the KO Mindwipe... The bi face belongs to Scorponok's, with the face-mask molded to the whole face as 1 single piece; and the Headmaster body is Spike (Headmaster for Cerebros, which in turn becomes Fortress Maximus's head)... $10.70 for 2 pieces...
