Unlicensed product is as illegal as bootlegs. If it's for fanservice it might be ok, but for profiting out of it, well...


QUOTE(cycheah @ Dec 5 2014, 02:18 PM)
actually i don't agree that 3rd party as KO as they are not buta buta copy from hastak. They come out better quality and their own transformation engineering. KO is different story as it is buta buta remold from the original, same as pirated gundam are produced. I wont deny that I'm one of 3rd parties supporter as I would choose and go for better quality stuffs. I have cut down my purchase on hastak stuffs

  If you insist open new thread, that would make 3 different thread; official, 3rd parties and KO. No 3rd parties wanna known themselves as KO as they have also spend much time for research and produce quality stuffs. IMO, it is not necessary as we are here to share [s]poison[s], compare, identify, help each other. However I'll still leave it to Mr Red to decide. this thread isn't very active already, if seperate lagi inactive doh.gif
that's why we are here to help each other. Some have knowledge to identify KO. brows.gif There is no perfect imitation, sure have 1 or 2 spot are different. You can always ask and learn how to identify, during COD you can inspect your purchase b4 paying it.

same can be said about Art Figures "Armored Police" vs Dredd



QUOTE(ckchan @ Dec 5 2014, 02:29 PM)
well, for 3rd party product they don't really need license from hastak cos, unlike KO, they don't carry the brand name "Transformers", nor any autobots/decepticons symbol. they have their own brand and name for their own figure.

and like cycheah pointed out, usually they have their own design team to design the different look and transformation, altogether enough to be differentiated from the ori hastak

You doing it all wrong bro. With that kind of cabinet air can easily flow in & out so do dusts, having just 1 box of Charcoal won't help much on humidity, you need those hippo type box to absorb water, but with the open air flow it won't help much, compared to turning on your aircon.

You should also buy those Hygrometer from Daiso, the round shape one to check your humidity, stick it on the wall with a bluetac, check the one that has similar reading than the others for more accurate reading. The dehumidifier should be able to reduce your humidity by 10%. Change every month or two.

Those powder refillable types cannot absorb as much water as the non-refillable box type.

Those Charcoal bag can last long but more for putting in closed box because they don't really absorb much water at all.

Also put 1 Can Can wardrobe hanger inside.

Tat is the solution of yellowish. I was hoping for prevention of yellowish happening. Currently i m starting to slowly store my tf into cabinet as below in the photo. The cabinet is located no nearer to direct sunlight n i will put charcoal in a box (bot at daiso) in there to control humidity inside the cabinet. Wat more can i do to protect them from turning yellowish in the future.

Apply car wax onto them, car wax are usually UV protecting & reduces oxidization.

Humidity will encourage mold infection & may eat away certain materials or paint, the stickers will be affected especially those shinny/chromy ones.



QUOTE(omichael @ Dec 15 2014, 11:33 PM)
If you read that article I posted, and if you Google the subject, humidity doesn't appear to even be a factor.

So I don't know if charcoal will be of any use.

The main culprits seem to be sunlight, UV light and a chemical reaction in certain batches of plastic.

Nothing much we can do to stop the chemical reaction over time.

But I assume keeping them in that cupboard should at least help keep out the light.

Anyways in my opinion there's no point overthinking it. They're just plastic toys. They will decay over time. Enjoy them while they last smile.gif

Alternate like the mouth covered exclusive face? I'm using the smiling face there's a han solo scar, i put the face on after change to robot mode, initially i scratched the top of the original face plate when trying to pry open with my finger tips good thing it recovered on it's own.

They really should have put the smiling face as default since i believe 90% people use that face.

BTW who is the guy in the space suit? Size looks bigger than the "i don't know who" that came with MP Prime. But the arm joint could have been better.

Then MP Ultra Magnus will come with 2 "i don't know who" also. Spike, Spike's Dad or David i dunno.

Feels abit too light for Bumblebee. Never knew he's the intelligent officer.


QUOTE(albnok @ Dec 25 2014, 07:09 PM)
I switched to the alternate face in the box as well, and I have that scrape where the silver face paint got scraped off.

The reason is because when you transform him into vehicle mode, you may have pushed his head tilting forward so the chin 'scrapes' against the chest. You can transform him so his chin is slightly up and doesn't scrape.

if so why the Spike in suit looks much bigger than Spike with Optimus Prime? Compare the head it's big difference i though MP line now all in scale?

then the one with Ultra Magnus is Spike & Daniel? now that really screw up the timeline. where is Sparkplug then?


QUOTE(kcmy @ Dec 25 2014, 10:46 PM)
its spike bro. did u watch the Transformers The Movie 1986? u can see he's ord wearing it on a scene with Bumblebee at Moon Base 2. His son, Daniel also was given an Exosuit by Arcee when they reach the planet Junkion.

the trailer either went back to base or parked somewhere nearby, not like it needs another truck to tow it away right?

but Spike bending his arms & legs like that? Ouch...


QUOTE(kcmy @ Dec 25 2014, 10:51 PM)
many people were asking too where the hell does Prime's trailer comes from when he transform into truck mode but we just enjoy the show lah, can we?

it could have just parked somewhere nearby but out of sight right?

i mean that trailer can turn into a mini base so why can't he be on standby nearby?


QUOTE(kcmy @ Dec 25 2014, 11:21 PM)
sometimes he'll be at another planet so its impossible for it to come to and fro from base in just that few seconds it took him to transform into truck mode.

As for spike's exosuit transformation im equally  shocking.gif  as u.

then how did you scratch the silver part coz only the ex head has silver paint normal face & smilling face has no silver paint only grey on his face.

QUOTE(albnok @ Dec 26 2014, 12:40 AM)
I meant 'alternate face in the box' meaning the smiling one - the other 'alternate face' (the G1 toy mask) is in a separate plastic bag. My guess is that they knew people would prefer the smiling face, so they forced people to swap it to understand how to do the face swap.

Last time I looked it up, nobody knows, so it is who you want it to be. My vote is Daniel.

As for the trailer, the Japanese designer of MP-10 explained that Huffer was planned to come in the box to pull away the trailer but I guess they left that task to Roller. Or it could just be that Roller is making the trailer reverse from inside the trailer (and maybe later Roller comes out and attaches to the trailer in order to turn while parking.)

Mp-10 comes with Spike, MP-21 comes with Exosuit Spike, MP-22 comes with future Spike and Daniel. Scale is off, but makes sense since Daniel was paired with either HotRod/Arcee, and Spike is always with Bee.
As for cartoon logic in exosuit transforming...maybe he's just sitting in fetal position in a really crampy space?  laugh.gif Can't be worse when we had Headmasters/Powermasters doing extreme gymnastics, lol.

Cartoon say cartoon, why use complicated words like anime? watching anime doesn't make you feel any older.

They should include a chrome bumper for nostalgia sake.
