I bought a couple of Revoltech Stormtroopers off eBay believing them to be KO's. I received them this morning and from what I can gather they are legit, here are some photos:











As you can see the box has a matte finish and there is a coloured inlay card behind the figure. Am I right in thinking that the KO's have a glossy finish to the box and the card behind the figure is plain white? Or have the bootleggers upped their game?

Can someone who has experience of both official and KO versions please offer their opinion? I'm looking to sell one of these off and don't want to rip anyone off.

Thanks.

It looks legit to me, I bought the stormtrooper at release and I cant see any difference.

Thought so, thanks.

OK, major issues with these guys, I opened up the one with the loose head to see is it was an easy fix which it is, however while I was at I checked the other joints. The shoulder joints on these are fused into the sockets TIGHT! To the point where moving them is impossible. I snapped one joint so I figured seeing as it's already broke I attacked the other side with a set of pliers, no amount of force would move it, in the end the joint just sheared off at the socket. The funny thing is all the other joints are fine.

I opened the other one and the exact same issue. Really annoying, at this point I kinda wish they were KO's, at least the KO's are posable.

Seems I'm not the only one with this issue:



These were bought off Amazon

I likewise spotted these on Amazon and another site at a substantial discount to MSRP and considered taking the bait.

Glad I didn't. Thanks for the 'heads up.'
