Spenser from site sponsor AgesThreeandUp.com stopped by to let us in on a little piece of news: there will be two other color variants for the upcoming Clear Generation 1 Mirage Knock-Off. There will be a Black Clear Mirage and a Blue Clear Mirage (ala this year's Botcon Exclusive). No pictures yet but stay tuned for more information as it becomes available!

I couldn't give shit about Diaclone colors and clear versions……I just want the G1's that haven't been done yet. Sunstreaker, Wheeljack, Shockwave?! Oh hell yes! Where's the love for Trailbreaker!?!

Awesome pics. I love those gift sets. Man, now I wish I had a diaclone Magnus.

Well a clear blue and black? now this is getting stupid like the KO cassettes, They pumped out so many of those they are now worth crap! I could see a red maybe even a black? but clear blue and clear black is stupid! The straight clear was awsome as it goes with the series but this is now overkill.whats next fire guts mirage!!!

I never knew there was a Red Mirage in diaclone. Anyone have a picture of this? I thought all the diaclone Mirages were blue Citanes.

From what I hear, they are of very good quality. Apparently the only major difference is that the guns are not chromed. Also, its the red version of the Microman browning.
BTW: Browning = very very awesome toy. I'm lucky enough to have the blue Microman version. But if they were to reissue the Transformers version, I would totally be all over that ko/reissue/reproduction.

I have the tiawan version. it's pretty good actually. there is one one ebay MIB for $120 BIN. it's worth it, too, IMO. Real Brownings go for crazy prices on the rare occasions they show up.

i believe i saw one in ebay france for 50 € bin

Are there any of good quality, though? Reasonably priced?

Browning KOs already exist. they have for a loooooong time.
Optimus Scourge
I see your point, especially the clear black Mirage. But for them to do additional runs is not expensive and not going to drive up cost. The majority of the money invested by these KO makers is on the process of getting the original toys that are mint, reverse engineering them, then making the molds, boxes, etc. Any extras are just helping out the cost on their end.
I really do hope they see the demand for the diaclone colors. I'm certainly not alone in wanting those, minty mint complete for a fraction of the cost? It should be a no-brainer.
For the record, I don't see anyone saying "Yay! a clear black Mirage!"
pointless indeed.

they sell these for insane prices and it seems to me that they're flooding the market with all these variations. How do they expect to make their 'quick return'? How many people are going to buy a clear black mirage? If they end up losing money on all these variants, won't we see prices going up on later releases? I want to see these prices going down.

I third… No doubt they could sell a red one…
thor20
I second that idea. Hopefully that will happen. Someone clue them in!

Everytime blue Bluestreak is brought up, I have to lend my vote for this. I don't care if it's KO or Ehobby….whatever it is, I WANT ONE.

Sounds nice with all the colored clears, now if I could see them then I could make my purchase choice, but my mindvision says the black clear looks groovy
Master Sing
My goal is to stay alive long enough for when the Browning KO hits the market!
In the mean time, this clear blue Mirage might do…
Can't wait for the Shockwave either!
