Its not a KO, its a kabaya which is some form of candy toy (i think the candy comes separate or something) I think they are like at the end of supermarket counters, impulse buys for the kids. You put it together yourself.  Due to being cheap and fragile they are often broken and hence become very rare, check these out

well, im sure this scorponok really a fake one. 1st, the Japanese transformers not written like that, 2nd, the copyright should for takara not hasbro; 3rd, Kabaya haven't issued scorponok b4  :thumb

yeah after looking at other kabaya boxes the tf logo is in japanese, can you make out what language the symbols above the transformers logo is?  weird if its some china/korean kabaya KO :wtf

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

well, brother...i think it's chinese KO...i found Korean seems not like that.

Gotta be a bootleg

If you notice, the date on that thing is 1992. It could in fact be a tailender. The other Kabaya stuff came out throughout the line starting in 86 I believe. There probably would be a logo change by 92.

 

I've bought something from this guy before, but I can't comment on whether this is real or not.

oooooooooooooooooooh, the mystery is gettin deeper and deeper.
