chimungmung.com has KO Henkei Thundercracker and Skywarp. And there doesn't seem to be anywhere near as bad a rep as KOToys has.

I asked around here about the place a week or two ago and no one seemed to have an opinion on them. I couldn't dig up anything bad, with my googling. Which admittedly is not up to CSI level =)

Got my Thundercracker, Ghost Starscream and the little Menasor yesterday, they are pretty decent! I did the top coat to the ball joint trick on Starscream, man does that work well!

I opened up my Ghost Starscream and Thundercracker today.

Ghost Starscream looks great... and then I picked him up. What a loose mess! Even his wings in alt mode are floppy. His chest doesn't close in robot mode either. And the guns don't fit in the pegs very well. Floppy wrists dangling around. The figure itself looks good though - perfect paint application. Based on what I read about the KO Ghost Starscream, I wasn't surprised it turned out like this. Considering the cost though, these flaws are a lot easier to swallow considering most can be fixed (not sure about the chest though).

Thundercracker looks great and his joints are pretty good overall. Perfect paint application. The only issue with him is the guns not fitting in the pegs, but that's an easy fix. I'm VERY IMPRESSED with Thundercracker and I fully recommend him as a much cheaper alternative to the official Henkei.

Out of the 2 KOs I ordered, Thundercracker was the one I wanted the most so I am very pleased overall with the purchase.

Got my Thundercracker yesterday... same as everyone else. Definitley see the difference in the packaging, but as for the toy, almost flawless. Few things...

Like all the Seekers, the arms prevent it from closing completely in Jet mode, but I noticed it on all my jets, so what can you do.

If you are going to fix the pegs, apply in the arms not the pegs of the launchers as they will make it too tight to fit in the wings or hands (BTW my missles launch farther than the real things)

Decepticon symbols on both the lower and upper wings. Just interesting.

Over all just need Dirge and the seekers are complete... until I finish my custom generic seeker and Sun Spot.

Got my Skywarp and Thundercracker.

Skywarp's hand are upside-down. Not the end of the world.
