MP Bluestreak KO

I tell ya what... these KO's.... these guys are dam near IDENTICAL to the original Takara for only half the price!
I'm talking identical to the figure, the box, the insert, the instructions, the tech spec card.. EVERYTHING!!

I got the extra shoulder cannons free included with my Bluestreak.
The paint and joints and details are emaculate!

This is truly a wonderful figure! For a KO, every transforming part goes where it is supposed to without hassle.

A group shot of my MP Autobot army slowly growing. All are KO's except Grimlock.

So if you are only after the original figures and not wanting a KO, the best way to tell is the price.
But if some bastard is selling a KO at the Takara price, you need to watch out for these small details...
The box is slightly different in color. The KO box is scanned from the original and slightly faded in color.
I have no comparison but there are videos on youtube that explain the differences.
The Datsun figures have the "Z" emblem on the hood, the KO's "Z" is not as clear as the original. And I do mean SLIGHTLY.
Also a slight difference is the copywright stamp. The Takara say TOMY. The KO version will say TOMY but the "my" is not as thick. So it would be TOMY.

Plus, the KO's are more well detailed compared to Takara.

Dude, you've gotten a nice Autobot collection going there! I highly recommend you snag you an iGear Van (or 2), to really set things off, now. Ratchet would make for some pretty funny comic strips too....depending on the situation. Lmao!

 

yes yes yes!!! those vans are on my top 10 need list
