the diff between frenzy and rumble is the plastic dye color ... one is red, one is blue.
Like most TF's, they were repainted and called different toys (like Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp)

I got those sweet bags from the office. They were used to wrap LCD's ... so I thought they'd be great for shipping. Well packed TF's get surface scuffs from packing materials, so this should get rid of that.
That box was a 2 ply cardboard ... when completely taped up and flaps layered, it was 2 ply on the sides, up to 6 ply on the top and bottom. It's a total tank of a box.

Dude....i got prime out the box...saw the red feet...and was just in awe...i hold one of the very few very sought after Red feet primes in the world...and id say it's dang near C9. I would attempt to get this AFA graded. This has replaced MP Magnus as my favorite TF...He gets to sit high and look over the entire TF collection....OOOOO the bug is biting :irock:

The real red-foots have a "manufactured under licence of Takara by <insert French company name here>" on the back of the box under the tech spec. Ours don't have that.
I'm just happy to know I will have two of ten (as far as we know, and I think we're the only ones who do know) KO's produced.

- color is too dull
- material is too thick
- the mounting on OP isn't right
etc ...
Even if AFA were to grade this, any collector could tell instantly that it's a KO.

The most important thing to me about the red-foot KO is that it uses the French/European molds that the genuine red-foot was made from.
To me, the red-foot is the most accurate reissue in my Prime collection.
If you wanted to sell one and were unscrupulous, just sell the red-foot out of the box and list it as original. No one would know the difference. Then you can sell just the box and insert and make another $60.
