Just speculating, but maybe the factory didn’t want to piss off a returning customer by copying the figures and selling them at bargain basement prices, but now that the club is folding, all bets are off?

I'd say that is probably the case. If I remember correctly, the Transformers Masterpiece KOs started once Takara/Hasbro switched factories for that line. I guess once the factory loses the contract either they intentionally or through lax security allow the use or theft of the molds. The ironic thing with the MP KOs is they were for the most part on par with the originals. In fact I still am not certain which of the Bluestreaks I have is the KO and which is legit after I put them on display and moved them around a couple times. I'm actually surprised its taken this long for KO's of Joes to pop up, high price and demand of the Club figures must be the driving force.

These aren't KOs. They're factory leakage.

I messaged one of the Chinese sellers about about a tracking number since I got a shipping notice but they told the figure hasn't shipped but will ship on March 18th

At 19.99 it is low risk high reward. Went head and bought black spider, low light and a viper. If legit, i will keep my official final 12 in my moc wall display. I guess my only real question is why the preorder? Assuming these are factory leaks then they should already have them ready to ship? If they are being manufactured, then doesnt that imply these are fakes or a unofficial second run with copied molds?
If thats the case, i would imagine the same china manufacturer has fss1-8 ( i think i remember Brian saying in email they switched manufacturers at some point) and we could be getting a endless china inventory of $19.99 joes? Last edited by STORMSHADOW_210; 03-11-2019 at 10:53 PM.. |

These Chinese sellers are now also selling 6 inch star wars, some Vintage Series 1:18 Star Wars, and one of them is selling a two pack of LEGO dinosaurs for $28. One of the LEGO dinosaurs hasn't been produced since 2015, and goes for $100 on the secondary market. I strongly suspect we are going to get bogus items, if anything, based on the LEGO dinosaurs. Of course the LEGO could be a scam and the Joes could be legit, but I doubt it.

This seller, https://www.ebay.com/usr/kghg8989, has sold the Final 12 figures. They are also selling the LEGO and Star Wars. If you look at the sellers, selling the Final 12, you will see alot of commonality in their products.
