Best Bootleg ever
Mon 2010/11/29 17:26 JST
I'm not generally a bootleg/knock off supporters, but for some of us transformers fan, obtaining the classic figure without selling your very soul it's a close to impossible task, especially if you're such a fan of the Gestalt (combiner) figures.
But recently I stop resisting and bought the classic G1 knock off Menasor
which I reviewed here

hmmm, it seems rather quite nice for a bootleg??!! :)
That looks pretty nice. Is it a Decepticon Optimus Prime?
nope, the 'not-optimus' is motormaster, leader of the stunticons
I LOL'd at the illus...
hey, it WAS cool at that time :D
I agree iwth that. Ah, the good old times. XD
Seconded.
ashens on youtube just reviewed one of these (but his seems.. bootleggier?)!

that's a very neat looking KO. Its pretty much 90% similar to the real 1 yea?
More like 95%, just a little deformities here and there, nothing major
Nice! then u got urself a real bargain man! :)
I still have this team from when I was a kid as well as several of the other combiners including the contructicons, technobots, arielbots and the terrorcons. Keep thinking of putting them on Ebay but am not sure how much they're worth.
you could do better; give them to a poor transformers fan like me ^_^
are they complete?
I only give away Gundams.LOL. They are complete and I've got quite a few more like the original Optimus Prime and Soundwave. Lots of fun when I was a kid.
would you consider selling them to me cheap? :P
Still thinking about it.LOL
hehe, let me know if you decided to let it go to me :D
This seems less like a bootleg and more like a reissue or G2 set.
reissue - yes
g2 - no, becuase g2 means funky color, haha
Not always. IIRC, the Stunticons made it into G2 without any real color changes. But, since the only G2 item I have is a Starscream with the sound box thingy, I cannot be certain.
ah, now that I didn't know :P good info though
This is a prime example of the phrase "a pearl in a sea of oysters"!
