I am playing a little bit of catching up getting a few MP figures that I missed and still want. I had given up on the MP line years ago when they changed the scale and were in a constant repeat of the same molds. It is nice to see they finally began making what many collectors had been wanting for years.

 

Anyways - I want to get the MP-16 Frenzy and buzzsaw - but I see that it is sold out everywhere. I see a ton of them on ebay, however it seems that 90% of them are KO (knock offs).

 

How do you tell the difference from the true Katara figure and the KO???

 

Does the true Katara MP's all come with the 'coins' anymore?? I see that even bigbagtoys sells the coins alone. Don't the coins come with the figure, as part of the authenticity and to add to the collectability value?

 

Also, if anyone knows where an original is for sale, I'd appreciate a link.

 

Thanks TF community! :)

Hello????

 

Does anyone here know the difference and how to identify the KO from the authentic - by the box or otherwise???

wow. I remember when this board was helpful.. huge and booming. Community of people helping each other. Is it just a newsroom now of no interaction at all???

I think if it is 30.00 or less it is a Bootleg.I have the ko and they aren't bad but I don't know how much it differs from the original.The newer ko's say takasa Tony instead of takara tomy on the box and molded on the figure.

That was fun. lol. Yeah. As stated, the cheaper, the more likely it's fake. And it's Takara Tomy not Katara
