Side-Tracked: Recent Haul of KOs (179) - KO Oversized Combiner Wars Legends Powerglide

Collected this cute little figure from my Taobao agent just now, quite happy... Bought this at a very low cost of SGD4.55 in total... This KO is from the company 蒙巴迪 (a.k.a. Machine Boy / Meng Ba Di / MBD ) which is causing quite a storm in their release of the low-budget version of KO Warbotrons (limbs, so far)... Oversized to 12cm tall (from feet to top of head), it is reputed to be of a good scale to Masterpiece line especially compared to MP Bumblebee. I don't have MP Bumblebee so cannot compare but I think the internet now have lots of such pictures...


Back of box... I AM SO TEMPTED TO BUY THE RODIMUS (already out in Taobao) AND STARSCREAM !!!!!!... But very tight display space already... sigh...


Comes with 2 guns!!!! I quite like the thick and firm plastic used, feels very solid, like a Hasbro TF... Some joints are tight enough, but some joints (e.g. head neck, knees, thighs) are ... just just slightly touching the "okay" tightness for transformation, but I personally will be tightening up this joints for a better posing rigidity.... Oh, the wings do peg in but not tight enough to feel comfortable when posing him... Personally I feel this could be 1 of the best representation of (G1) Powerglide... He just screams Powerglide to me... hahahaha....


Plane mode (A10 plane ???)... Still quite nice, but a few places should be better... e.g. sudden appearance of grey parts (thighs) from a smooth flow of red tail... and that THERE ARE "VISIBLE HAND SYNDROME!!!! FISTS ARE SO FREAKING VISIBLE!!!!! Arrgghhh.... so tempted to do something to cover up these hands in plane mode... maybe...


And finally, size comparison with whatever I have on the table... Very very very nice little figure...
