Interesting Cassette Knockoffs

Recommended Posts

I ran across these at a toy-show about a month and a half ago, and bought a few of them for my good friend Elrod the Albino (I'm not much of a TF fan). I spoke with another dealer buddy of mine, and he was kind enough to pick me up the rest that the dealer had. I've put together a couple of sets (got a few extras) and thought you kids might like a look at 3 of the 5.

 

These are twice the size of the regular cassettes, but seem to be made of the original molds with an extra flourish here or there (Ravage has whiskers). The colors are funky, but the construction is good and they are nice and solid. I'll try to grab pics of the Frenzy and Ramhorn versions later on tonight to go with Squawktalk, Ravage and Steeljaw pictured here. Enjoy!

i had these way back. They also have slugfest and overkill and beast box and gurafi

These are pretty good KO's. I had found them here at a store called "Deals" for $1 per package of two a while ago. There are a couple of different packages with different combinations of the tapes. I really wish they had a Beastbox to go with the Squalktalk though.

I wish I could get my hands on some of these. I got the oversized Soundblaster KO off ebay and I'm pretty sure these are all the same size. The Soundblaster comes with 2 tapes, but I think each one comes in different colors.

I tried to get some of these myself but somehow didn't get the package. Was a bit annoyed. Really wanted the KO's of the rare Japanese cassettes in particular.

 

I did end up with a hippo version of Ramhorn though. It's really weird.

 

Snuzzle, pretty sure the KO's don't have the parts to combine anyway.

Squalktalk and Beastbox don't need any extra parts to combine. Unless you mean that they removed the connector tabs from the figures themselves.

Yes, I was talking about the tabs that rotate around Squawktalk's tail feathers. The normal size KO I have lacks these.

I want a KO guarfi! :redface

The oversized squalktalk seems to have them. There are rotating tabs on the back of the legs, anyway, that seem to have no purpose in the individual tape or bird modes.

I think I have that Jaguar one up on tfieds. The Micros one sucks... he's burried in a box someplace.
