One thing is sure.
Any "reissue" that is sold from China are 100% knock-offs.
As a collector who care for VALUE, those are worthless. But if you just want to get a feel of the mold without having to spend a fortune on the original, it's a valid option. However, beware that the quality can vary. I once had a Grimlock and Shockwave KO and both broke on me quite easily. Still, their accessories could go with the original so that's that. I also bought a set of the Menasor team because 100$ was better than nearly 300$. The quality is solid but I didn't applied the rubsings by principle.
