KO G1 Scorponok coming soon

It's not unreasonable to hold hope that with the recent release of Encore Fortress Maximus, that his rival Scorponok will also see a release.
However it seems that other, less scrupulous parties seem to be getting one to market sooner if Toymoda is to be believed. In addition to a healthy stock of Transformers-related items, Toymoda also has several knockoff replications of other G1 figures, such as Cyclonus, Shockwave and a Computron giftset. Scorponok has recently been added to its system with a release date of July.

I'm almost tempted to buy that just for the box! I need one for my 100% complete G1 Scorponok.... ...but then I'd have to figure out what to do with the KO toy?

Flog it or stick it in front of the firing squad for execution?

Re: KO G1 Scorponok coming soon
i'm with Sixshot... Is the box going to resemble G1 original artwork?
As I also need a box for my Scorponok. I wonder how much this KO is going to sale for. Might be worth it.

Re: KO G1 Scorponok coming soon
Box will be a spot on replica of the G1 version as this company (KOToys) has done that with ALL of their previous releases. Pisses a lot of people off as the KO gets passed off and sold as authentic because you can't tell the difference. A Computron and Abominus gift set is also in the works. As for pricing, release date, exc...

KOToys? Yes. Same people. I'd only be in it for their cardboard. The toy would have to go.
Re: KO G1 Scorponok coming soon
No, not necessarily. A lot of people swear by them being quality products, it's just not for me as I already own the original.
Re: KO G1 Scorponok coming soon
it would be a quick and cheap way to get the g1 gesalts. As I had to sale all of mine a few years ago.
Re: KO G1 Scorponok coming soon
Actually, Encore Scorponok is next on their list after the current Fort Max...the prototype has already been unveiled by Takara Tomy. I'd just wait on the "official" reissue, before I'd consider getting this one (if I were in it for the toy)..
Re: KO G1 Scorponok coming soon
I bet the official would cost more than the KO, not that I'm buying or anything!

Pay more, or have the thing possibly crumble apart Black Zarack style? Difficult, this decision is.

Watch the reviews of Encore first DB to see if they are crumbling apart, it might be a case of old age has finally caught up with Scorponok and there's no qualifiedly Decepticon Doctors to give him treatment for plastic rust!
