So, bootlegs and KOs are obviously impacted. What is not clear are the 3rd-party interpretations from toy-makers like FansToys, MakeToys, and etc.

About f***ing time.

Every time I go to a toy store around here, they got shelves full of KO Transformers and practically zero legit ones!

In the US, I have never seen the KOs on sale other than eBay.
My only thought is this was done in Mid Dec and if you go online right now, there are a ton of KOs still shipping from China.

3rd parties make great stuff. I don’t think they are effected. 3rd parties are really just re-engineering TFs whereas KOs are just complete copies of the MP parts and molds.
