KuBianBao 酷变宝 Ku Bian Bao KBB - KO Evasion Optimus Prime and KO DX9 Armor Kit Set 飞翼擎天

Shipping is more than the actual toy...sigh... anyway, a very nice KO set... I bought this set mainly because I wanted the mouth-plate OP head to put on my previously bought KBB Evasion OP, but slowly grow to like this armor form too... Have to trim the feet tabs as they are too tightly kept in truck mode... Also have to tighten some joints... its a KO after all.... Oh, also painted the eyes blue...

( Wei Jiang ???) Model Wizard - Iron Rhino 铁灵犀 KO Power of the Primes Predaking : POTP Headstrong

Gotten this KO transformers from Taobao.com, for approximately SGD11.  I kind of like this type of soft texture-feel plastic. Joints are quite tight, and as usual, there are a lot of sprue marks to trim. Comes with a set of ratchet joint for their KO Rampage to change the loose gestalt shoulder joint. I do not own the Hasbro version, but from what I gather from the other reviews, this Wizard World version improves on a couple of features e.g. rhino mouth can open, lower leg cover to hide the cavity in robot mode. Overall very nice.

** Side Note: KO Divebomb - I had to file off 1 side of the gestalt's hip joint inner space as it was stupidly tight to slot in this KO Headstrong into it. Strangely, only 1 side of the hip joint is too tight.

Transformers Tiny Turbo Changers Series 3

Gotten these at the (Singapore) Takashimaya Collectibles Toy Fair, which will end 26 March 2019... and they costs only SGD1 for each pack!!!! I got Optimus Prime, Slug, Bumblebee, Dino and Sentinel Prime... Very cute, probably will bring over to my office cubicle to display...

( Wei Jiang ???) Model Wizard - Sabertooth 暴齿虎 KO Power of the Primes Predaking : POTP Rampage

Cost around SGD10 +-, from Taobao.com. First reaction was the plastic seem to be thinner than the KO Divebomb's, but realized it was not actually. As mentioned many times before, I prefer the gestalt/combiner transformers to be made of a lighter and reasonably rigid plastic, as the limbs, especially arms, will have lesser posing issue. Though most joints are reasonably tight, the gestalt shoulder joint is quite weak this time compared to the KO Divebomb's. I had to do lots of work in reinforcing the joint before getting an okay joint.


I also added springs back to the robot's thigh joints just to make them slightly better. Decepticon symbol sticker is added myself. Looking forward to all 5 Predacons completely release to form... Predaking!

Side-Tracked: Recent Haul of KOs (227) - Model Wizard - War Eagle 战鹏 a.k.a. KO Power of the Primes Predaking : POTP Divebomb

Bought from Taobao, costs approx. SGD15.45... plastic felt a teeny bit rubbery, so no worries over brittleness... spent over an hour slowly trimming the sprue marks, some even file and polish... not sure why.. am sad, perhaps... hahaha... there are some changes to the mold, I think, after seeing the POTP Divebomb Youtube reviews... Now the feet are ball jointed, but they are not very strong to totally support the heavy backpack, need some positioning to stand the figure... also the knee are not super strong too... anyway, still can stand... and probably if the remaining 4 figures are out, then this is unlikely to be left in individual robot mode...



Articulated hand.... much better than the original...


Which gun configuration do I prefer? hmmmm...
