That red Megatron looks a hell of alot cooler than T-Wrecks.

Cheers! Actually, some of the "candy" bots in Japan are actually official savoury corn/maize snacks.There seems to be a series 2 of those Robot Max figures from Japan.

And Candy bots that combine
First casualty of a recent earthquake in Japan. If anyone has got a spare part/figure for an OSKO Weijiang Brainstorm, please let me know...
A few other toys lost their weapons (underneath cabinets or boxes now...), but even this official toy's sword was not left unscathed by the earthquake...

Video review of KO Kingdom Optimus Primal:
- https://m.bilibili.com/video/BV1Ub4y1Y71y?share_source=copy_web&share_times=1
According to the review:
1/ The plastic is not bad for the price, but it's not safe for kids to play with.
2/ They're are no elbow or ankle articulation.
3/ No arm cannon.
4/ There's possibly no thigh swivel (but this is just from observation and wasn't stated in the video).

Review of KO Kingdom Dinobot:
- https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Nb4y1e7nr?share_source=copy_web
According to the reviewer:
1/Some stress marks but overall quality is OK, plastic is strong enough.
2/ More or less the same transformation as the original.
3/ Same height as the original.
4/ No Bot mode thigh swivel.
5/ Beast mode ankles have no bend, but retains rotation.
6/ Bot mode foot is 1 piece, so the heel doesn't fold in like the original.
7/ Beast mode legs / Bot mode arms were assembled backwards. Easy fix.
8/ Bot shoulders pins are exposed compared to the original.Also, his copy has one shoulder installed backwards, doesn't affect articulation, just the bigger pin head is exposed (Not sure if the reviewer just has them rotated wrongly, though)
9/ Tolerances OK.
10/ Overall minor simplifications, reviewer is OK with the figure.

Cheers for the pics! Btw, are you selling any complete OSKO Brainstorms?I don't think I currently have any junkers of that one. If I did it might have gone out in a cracked plastic lot
Here's some trading cards I picked up at a small store, they might be licensed though.

Absolutely love this. I would be totally on board for KO companies to make all sorts of brand new Combiner Wars compatible characters.
Any details on who's making this and where it might be available?
You can get it from a private seller here:
- https://m.ja.aliexpress.com/item/10...o.store_pc_groupList.8148356.1.439c349cKqWMUB
I don't know if other, more mainstream sites will cover this.
I've never bought anything from Ali Express before. Are they reputable?
I'll get it when it comes out. Will know when it actually comes out when I add pics to my KO gallery (just past 61 thousand pics the other day)
I may just take you up on that. Bought a couple things from you before and always been happy.
AliExpress is generally reliable, but it's kind of an Amazon Sellers deal, rather than a single big company. Also, in the wake of recent changes in international mail, the shipping is often as much as the toy. For instance, that combiner is $38 with $24 shipping. And the same listing also has a Devastator knockoff, so there's a nonzero chance you'll get that by mistake, either because you clicked the wrong thing or they grabbed the wrong item.

I have read that the "Smartlulu" seller is legit, but isn't a woman.
Sounds good! Looking forward to the pics!
How are they, Paul and if I order them, can I get them boxed please?Gallery started. Now to transform them all

KO MP Shattered Glass Optimus Prime
It seems that the backpack has been made smaller/closer to the actual animation model and that the knees have (possibly) been improved/fixed so as not to break easily?
Have you got the others from that set? Specifically, the other jet(s) and military vehicles?
You can't see them in my post here:
- https://www.allspark.com/forums/threads/the-knock-off-transformers-thread.134/post-722
Thanks. I'm really just interested in the two versions of Brawl, the two jets and maybe the Megatron recolour.
I tried to buy stuff from your site but had the following problems:
- Your site won't let me use my credit card as a guest for PayPal.
- When I tried to create a new account, PayPal froze my new account and demanded they charge me 200 yen to validate my card and that I submit a photo. We don't get bank statements in the post easily in Japan (we have to pay for them) so I would have to travel to the local bank to check my statement to validate my card with them.
Please could you allow direct credit card payments please? If you can't, I don't think I can ever buy stuff from your website again, as Paypall are being difficult. They won't even call me back and for some reason, my landline phone won't charge so I can't use that to ring them.
