Knock-off Henkei Seekers, G1 Bumblebee, Die-cast Animated Bumblebee and die-cast HFTD Hubcap out
Please use this thread to discuss the Knock-off Henkei Seekers, G1 Bumblebee, Die-cast Animated Bumblebee and die-cast HFTD Hubcap out news story on the main site.

I was recently informed that many Chinese knock-off makers have now realised that there is good money in making high-quality knock-offs of many of the Classic / Henkei figures and to expect plenty of fakes over the next year to of not only these but other high-end Transformers figures.  Well it looks like the weight has already stopped as bot TFW2005.com and KOToys.com have images an information on the first wave of these new KO items, the Million Publishing Henkei Thundercracker and Skywarp along with Electro Disruptor Mirage and the Botcon 2007 clear Mirage.  All of the Henkei figures come in replica packaging and are proving difficult to spot.
KOToys.com  has all the images, where as TFWorld2005.com note that at the moment the Botcon Mirage appears to be a slightly different shade and comes without the rub sign.  You can view the images here, here, here, here and here.
Other new knock-offs (as you may have noticed from that last link) include a blue and white G1 Bumblebee (on card) as well as diecast HFTD Hubcap (in multiple colours).  Yes Die cast! The knock-offs are being made from better materials than the originals!
Finally there are also KO die cast Transformers Animated Activator Bumblebee in  various colour schemes including Skids and Mudflap from Transformers Revenge of the Fallen.



Genzhao comments that these items weight approximately 2.5 times as much as the originals


Remember ALL of these items are fakes

Damn. I may have to get thos e bumblebee's..

The blue one may be my only chance to own that colour and the white one has a different head to the real bugbite (which is good!) but would still look good in a line up with my other bee's!
