so are those all plastic or do they have metal?

 

first thing I checked was Frenzy's feet ... plastic bits.

 

That's cool anyway. I may just have to get a set.

 

hot damn.. nice score.

 

They are pretty cool.

notes:
- The cardboard used is a bit thinner than Prime's box flap, but identical in finish and color
.
- The card even has the perforated sections on the back to help you get the figure out (just like the orginal release)

- The stickers on Laserbeak look great ... this one pack had a shred of sticker sealed in though. Otherwise, very evenly placed.


- The stickers on frenzy barely look seperated. the part between the tape's holes where the arms are ... you can see that it still looks attached.

- slight warping on the card

- the card's corner looks crushed in the light ... but the cardboard is perfectly straight. Seems like a printing error.


Final thoughts ...
These KO's really bring a G1 feeling with them. It's completely unmatched by anything ever reissued. $20 to $25 would be a very fair price to pay for these. Wait for the KO to go out of print and you'll see these on eBay for $100 to $150.

 

email to Derry ...
[did you know?]
These replicas are being pressed from a LEGENDARY Transformer mold. This isn't just some normal European press, this is directly from the "red footed" Optimus Prime!

This is a picture of the press stamp I took ...

They're identical! These replicas are being made from the most sought after variant of all time. This is truly a treasured piece.

and this brings me to my next suggestion ...



[more Primes!]
Have you condidered doing a red foot Prime? You have the identical press, now you can make a replica for the ages.



Derry's reply ...
"I have put in a request to make 10 red footed prime. Let me know if you are interested."


:eek3: :eek3:

 

so when are we going to make a transaction with this guy??

 

We should do it soon. The last list looked like this ...

1. Monk - red, yellow eyes
2. Monk - red, blue eyes
3. Monk - black
4. Reno - red, yellow eyes
5. Suba - red, yellow eyes
6. e39 - red, blue eyes
7. Hambone - red, yellow eyes
8. (vacant)
9. (vacant)
10. (vacant)

I'm not sure if Eggy was in. I strongly suggest getting a black prime if you don't have one.

 

Yeah, SOC/Derry figured out we were hard core when I told him about the redfoot mold last week and called him on the dinobots. BTW, he offered me the rumble/frenzy packs for $11 each. let me know if anyone wants in.

 

I wonder if the red foot can be a part of the 10 piece buy in.

@ $11 ea, I'd go for another Frenzy (blue) / Laserbeak set and Rumble (red) / Buzzsaw set.
