Kyle's KO Korner

No, I didn't run out of KO's, just been stupid-busy lately. Here's some more favorites: Buddy-L dinobots plus an unknown pretender Grimmy KO.

wow those a so cool loe the colours

cool i hate to pay your storage bill

:affraid: Yeah where do u keep all your crap?????

Super-insanely over-crowded shelves in my tiny house's living room. :pale:

:pale:

I've got a broken one of the blue one on the left.

Ark-the KO dinos were later KO'ed again in wierd pastel colors, too. I have a pink one somewhere, I think.....

Here we go again! I say this about everything, but these are some of my faves. Dashbots by Upright Manufacturing, 1984 baby. Buggy and the red Ferrari are die cast. The rest came in an 10 pack that was missing a few when I got it, and are all plastic. Same molds, though. Stickers kinda suck, but I'm still calling them awesome. They all have pull-back motors.





Of note is Buggy, who is obviously molded from the GoBot's Buggyman, who could obviously kick Beachcomber's ass.

I was going to ask about Buggy, but that comparison picture seems to tell all.

Rumble.

once i saw the picks i remembered the "cereal bots". that is so cool. i think i had the blue one :suspect:

The ol' lady picked up this thing at Cracker Barrel (barf). He's all wood, and has 2 elastic bands that run through him. Kinda cheesey, but certainly unique.

Here are some newer ones I've gotten recently. I think A3 has one of these, but they are Awesome. Especially for a newer KO. There's friggin METAL in there!





Here's a better pic of the KO Requiem Blaster guys. These are Awesome as well! Joints are a bit loose, but screw it. My TF satellite guy is hanging up, so no comparison pics of that one. I'm just a sucker for rockets and space shuttles.



Here's a pic of the Sixliner I got. He is Good, but they cheaped out and didn't mold in some of the guy's arms. Lame.



He came with this Good Man-O-War KO. I never thought I would ever have a Man-O-War, and now I have the US and UK versions, along with this KO! A friggin 25 year old GoBot mold is STILL out there.....





Funny story-I got one of these KO Manny's in a lot once, and always wondered where he came from. He didn't have a face, so I DL'ed a pic of his face and printed a sticker. When I got my new Man-O-KO, the first thing I did was check to see if he had a face. He did, but it was upside-down! I fixed it, though.....

Another new one I just got in. He's not as cool as I thought he's be.

wow good finds Ramjet!

some amazing stuff

Some more of my faves. Even thought they're 80's and have die cast, I still have to call them just Good. Most are Covertors Mini-Bots, but a couple are Village Toys Convert-a-Bots. The silver and red one is a KO of a KO to the best of my knowledge. No stamp on it, but it is the same mold as a Convertors car.





I can never get a good pic, but the red car's arm says "Corvette".

Nice I have a few of them including the KO of a KO, all mine has on it is the stamp Japan. I also have the silver convertable one with LeBaron on the side, but mine has black plastic instead of the yellow.

Rumble.

Mine doesn't even say Japan, that I can find.

if it's not made in Japan...

then where the hell is it made? :bart:

I don't know much about these, though everyone's probably seen them somewhere before. They're from the 80's, and have a little bear head logo on them. I really like the frog. They are pretty well designed and have cool transformations, but the quality is crappy. The copper ones were broken when I got them, and I broke one again trying to transform it. It's a shame, really. They're pretty detailed and well thought out.

seen something close to the yellow one with wings at big slots.......

Was it the Quick Change 4-packs? DON'T buy those! I just got suckered into them again today. I bought the Dino ones and some of the guys don't have arms and are molded so some parts don't move like they should and won't transform. I fell for the insects last year.

yeah i picked them up for my son a few years ago figured he could break those lmao and he did lmao

So, I ain't spending $50 for a legends Devastator, so I took a chance on this one from China. I'm calling the quality awesome. I don't have any Hasblows to compare it to, but from pix I've seen it looks identical. Nice stiff joints, decent plastic, and he holds together really solidly. On a side note, the Chinese instructions are way more detailed and easier to understand than US instructions. I paid $13 shipped for mine, took about 2 weeks. Here the linky:

my TRU has the G1 colored version for $30.

That ain't bad, only like $4 a guy. I only see them on eGay. The Wallies here have the green ones, but they cost like $40, I think.
