Looks like a good KO. I've got the original dx9 version and it's the most rock solid transformer that I have. This KO from pocket toys looks like it would be a good choice for customizers. Turn this into a cobra rattler or tiger force plane.
Your DX9 is the first release. The panel that reveals the heart has a notch on the 2nd version, presumably to make it easier to get a fingernail in to open it up.
Is it just me or does the Pocket toys have a nicer looking shade of red in jet mode than the DX9 version has in its jet mode? The DX9 looks almost pink-ish or very light red by comparison.
True, the Dx9 is looking slightly pink on camera. It's more red in person, but its not a deep red. But it is a nice gloss paint. The PT though, is like cheap matte plastic feel. No stress marks or breaks though through 5-6 transformations :)
Thanks a lot man, glad you liked it . The effects and tricks are the funnest parts of editing :P Cheers, i'll check the balancing on the SFX and lower them next episode.
@@BotsandBits He just makes the "shits" and the "damns" extra loud like that so there is no confusion WHATSOEVER by anyone at all whether these vids are intended for children! They still don't get the message, though...
The rare KO MP10 V2 from years ago ;) The currently available ko mp10's are ok, but they all have a few similar issues. Floppy head, some dodgey paint, some loose joints, right leg gets stuck in vehicle mode.
I like the toon accuracy and articulation, but I never did like the mini bot aspect of the Autobots, especially when Powerglide transformed into a big ass jet. Have you heard any talk of an OS KO?
Yes I am interested in which one has the nicest 'Astoria Carlton-Ritz ' figure as it is going to have some impact on my buying decision as a sign of over all attention to detail and quality. Does your TH-cam analytics say your audience are like under 12's or something - as if not then they are very impatient people if they need to skip past accessories. Considering your vids average out at 7 minutes or less - shorter than your rivals - I don't think you need to worry about them being to long.
The funny thing is this transformation is important because I just got him and it's misassembled where the pegs don't line up with the hole to plug half the engines into the back of the legs. Each piece with the peg can't be fixed easily because you'd have to knock out a hard to reach pin and the plastic looked like it would crack. I literally found this video to see if it's mine or all the pocket toys have this issue but the reviewer skipped it....

I just purchased the Art of Duplicates (a knock off of a knock off, I guess) for $20 US. I'll let you know how it is.
How was it mate??

Good review mate! Cheers

$20 vs $80, its like Takara and KO company's over again. Lol Nice review this helped a lot I'll stick with the KO.
I wanted to ask? Which MP10 do you recommend? Thanks again for your help.:0)

Yeh I'm purely going on analytics. On most vids it dips about half during accessories, 2/3rds during transformation.
Thanks for the reply - I was curious why you were so specific about that aspect in your vides. Thanks for sharing.
I got a version of powerglide for 3 euro
Should have the AOD in the mix for comparison too
The budget limits what the heart wants :P
Say what!!!!!! That’s a sack of bull shit!!! Lol Don’t TH-cam pay you well 😊
The aod is better but its A ko after all so..
I say , wait for takara.
"I've mistransformed it. Oh well that doesn't matter." Wow. You monetized this video and you're too lazy to do a quick transformation and edit.
Yep, that $5.70USD over 8 months sure is taking me places...

@@andreyofdoom Baltmatrix has just put his video up of the Pocket Toys version. He has the same issue with the peg inside the engine.
