My first (2) experiences with ko's was with masterpiece transformers, one was a ko of g2 sideswipe and despite it being a ko it turned out pretty great (just a small paint incinsistancy and slight box misprint gave it away) but a ko of redalert ended up being an example of how bad they can get (box was an obvious fake and the pinned wheels were loose meaning it couldn't roll, not to mention being a floppy piece of shit that required modification just to transform), both were mistaken purchases but the later ko had me chase them up for a partial refund since I liked it, least initially until it broke itself just standing there one day

Pic related is something I just came across, I own the original and after opening multiple "monster hunter figure builder" blind boxes paint work is mostly consistent and this one is a terrible reproduction but good enough if you missed it being so old

(On that note do blind box figures belong in /toy/, its not an amiibo but they do as much as an ooshi)
