So I recently picked-up a MP-10 gold version KO from china... couldn't help myself after seeing how shiny it was. Essentially an optimus that you can pick-up and never transform for fear of paint scuffs/scratches if you do so .... (oh the terrors of having a gold color plated toy...)
Overall the quality is decent but not the same as the Takara version. There are places where the joints do feel loose, most likely due to the coloring process on the bot. (supposedly china only made a 1000 of these..... but yeah... not too sure about that seeing how this is a KO after all nothing really stopping them from making more
)
The weapons and accessories are all gold plated as well including the matrix. Everything else is either black rubber or clear plastic. The box it came in was the crappiest box I have ever seen, but it got here in one piece so I guess it did its job in the end? The whole toy itself is a fingerprint magnet so suggestion is to wear gloves of some sort to minimize the polishing needed afterwards after touching the figure.
The card it came with was a surprised shock for me. Not sure how they did but optimus seems photo etched onto the card if it makes any sense however it might just be the paint they used for the print... card is actually plastic with the number printed on it in terms of which one it was against the 1000 of its cloned brothers that were made in a sweat shop factory in China somewhere.
