40th Anniversary Haslab: RID2001 Omega Prime

[The Predaking]

I would suggest that Unicron, at least, might simply be too big to be worthwhile, except that one third party recently put out a four foot tall Metroplex (for only $1500!), so who knows.

But if it was scaled down some.....

Then it would be competing with existing 3P Unicrons like Cell, which honestly does a better job of making a clean robot mode anyway, so what's the point?

An easier transformation than Cell's that doesn't require 15-20 minutes to do?

I think these knock off companies are going to avoid making direct KOs of the Haslab stuff because it would lower the value of the geninue copies, plus there is also the legal consquences!

does that stop them from making direct KOs of masterpieces lol

(yeah, yeah, i know MPs aren't limited production runs like haslab is but they're still expensive and yet you can get KOs for like sub-$100 usually)

 

[Haywire]

The cynical part of me would suggest that, with HasLab aftermarket prices being what they are, if they didn't flood the market with obvious KOs, a small trickle of HasLab KOs would bring more per unit if they were 'accidentally' sold as the genuine thing.

I think they were all spooked by what happened to the unofficial Unicron.Copyright law in China is rarely enforced unless somebody with sufficiently deep pockets makes enough noise.

Also in general, Generations doesn’t get KOd much for whatever reason, in comparison to MP and even Studio Series where every mold of a notable character has gotten various modified knockoffs.
