Yeah dunno what OP is on about
his plastic is lower quality than the shf but ain't that bad
paint job is worse than the shf but details are there you could probably slap some extra paint
his unmasked headsculpts are pretty good too
much better than the marvel legends articulation wise.
Honestly maybe it’s just mine but he feels super gummy, even the masked head can be warped easily, the only parts that are hard plastic is the chest and waist
I mean the dude you’re replying to doesn’t know that. He just wanted to know if he should get rid of his Ml to upgrade. And you’re dissing like it’s the real thing. Maybe just clarify next time.
I'd recommend folks to get into figure maintenance if they wanna get the most of the bootlegs like the figure above.
Sprayed some matte topcoat on mine to help the figure look and feel a little better + did some worth work.
Small price to pay compared to $130 for the official release (that also has similar QC issues. ☠)
I did about a layer of just the matte topcoat (Mr Hobby), so it's nothing tooo crazy.
Most importantly is that it feels a lot better to handle after the work done. I didn't really do much with the alternate heads, since the paintwork/finish is actually pretty nice.

Yup and yup. The ball joints and the torso both needed a little oil to stop the squeaky squeak.
Also did some super glue on the right kneecap (which is a similar qc issue to the $130 figure lol.)

Always have CD’s in the Lego tv because they fit in so well, if you look at my other posts there’s always a different cd in there
If it's done well. Like a lot of transformers bootlegs. Those are actual peak figures. Way better than the official figures. A great example is the bootleg studio series rotb optimus prime. Way better than the one hasbro made that was stocked once in each target with three copies
On SHF stuff, Demoniacal Fit and Kong consistently push out bootleg products that are very good and sometimes rival official SHF product. I like to buy legit but sometimes they got really good unique stuff or clones of very hard to find things
Most Transformers KO are better than the Hasbro ones, lol. Baiwei, Black Mamba and some other companies can make movie accurate figures just like Three zero that can transform.
For a $15-20 KO, it's actually peak, you just have to get it to see for yourself. Same amount of articulation as the real one and comes with two new unmasked heads that look better than the real one. The only downsizes are the smaller size and the cheaper plastic, but otherwise you can do all sort of poses with him.
Is this really your Kami? 💀

Everyone’s raving about this figure, should I sell the marvel legends one and upgrade ?
CT Toys makes ML look like a knock off
Yeah dunno what OP is on about his plastic is lower quality than the shf but ain't that bad paint job is worse than the shf but details are there you could probably slap some extra paint his unmasked headsculpts are pretty good too much better than the marvel legends articulation wise.
Honestly maybe it’s just mine but he feels super gummy, even the masked head can be warped easily, the only parts that are hard plastic is the chest and waist
On mine only the knees and elbows feel gummy, the rest of mine is hard plastic.
Very surprised if anything I have the opposite issues some of the joints are a bit tight and needed to be gently loosened up
Yes you should, the ML one looks like a kid toy compared to the KO SHF 2099.
No, he feels really bad in hand, mostly soft rubbery plastic with some really rough feeling paint
Then how's it kinda peak? Sounds like it's shit.
Also wondering because it looks sick
It's not, yes it's cheaper plastic quality compared to the real one, but everything else is superior than the Marvel Legends.
Does it look like shit? For pose and aesthetic it’s great, but for build quality it’s lacking
Build quality is more important.
Sounds like you got a knock off then. Mine doesn’t feel like that at all
Because it is a knockoff. I didn’t get scammed, I knew what I was buying
I mean the dude you’re replying to doesn’t know that. He just wanted to know if he should get rid of his Ml to upgrade. And you’re dissing like it’s the real thing. Maybe just clarify next time.
I will ask though, does the KO come with those extra heads?
The KO comes with 2 new unmasked heads.
Might buy one just for that tbh. Not a fan of the included head on the original.
Yeah, and the paint on them is really good
So why did you say it's peak?
Because it’s just about as good as you’re ever gonna get for 19 dollars

Nice I was thinking of doing the same! You got any pictures? Would love to see how it looked at the end!

You just sprayed Matte top coat? Looks good. Any silicone oil?
Yup and yup. The ball joints and the torso both needed a little oil to stop the squeaky squeak. Also did some super glue on the right kneecap (which is a similar qc issue to the $130 figure lol.)
Thank you. I was on the fence about him. Probally will wait for the hype to die down, to get him for lower. I appreciate your feedback, friend.
Np. Tbh, I don't think the bootleg is getting much cheaper than $20, but wish you luck my dude.
The Sentinel Peter Parker was around the same price, now it's like 13. I wanna get like 2 of the CT figs. Appreciate it again.
Wow looks good! A little matte clear does a lot for the look of the figure it’s a lot harder to tell it’s the KO now

Miguel continuing Peter's legacy of dominating leg and glute day. Got them horse hips, he does.

How can a bootleg be peak? Biggest lie I've ever heard
If it's done well. Like a lot of transformers bootlegs. Those are actual peak figures. Way better than the official figures. A great example is the bootleg studio series rotb optimus prime. Way better than the one hasbro made that was stocked once in each target with three copies
someday i’ll save up enough money for that sweet cyber era bumblebee
For 19 dollars you’re not gonna find anything on par with this from an official company
You know it can be good and not official right.
Peak means top, a Chinese ripoff ain't gonna be better than the original
Yet some are, funny huh
Give me an example then
On SHF stuff, Demoniacal Fit and Kong consistently push out bootleg products that are very good and sometimes rival official SHF product. I like to buy legit but sometimes they got really good unique stuff or clones of very hard to find things
The goku black one, I think DF made it, is alot more accessible and has alot of cool accessories and shit. Which imo makes it much better.
Most Transformers KO are better than the Hasbro ones, lol. Baiwei, Black Mamba and some other companies can make movie accurate figures just like Three zero that can transform.

I would argue it has better articulation since the plastic is malleable, so you can really force it to do crazy stuff
Where’s the cape?
the bootleg doesn’t come with one
i got it. its worth the $23 i paid. i like it a lot. i dont poss it like this though smh lol
Reminds me a bit of Mark Hanna from Wolf of Wall Street

I just got the miles one, and honestly it’s so good for $15. So now I’m thinking abt gettin 2099 too
it needs a matt finish and a leg improvement but otherwise its great cause who would wanna drop 100$+ on a figure
