Ever vigilant and constantly striving to please the fans, Keith’s Fantasy Club has announced it’s next two Masterpiece-styled figures – Kingorilla (Apeface) with his Headmaster Kongor and Kingzilla (Snapdragon) with his Headmaster Komodus. Colored test shots of these figures are currently on display at a toy show in Wuhan, China.
As we have come to expect from KFC, these figures practically look like they just walked off the screen of your favorite G1 Headmasters episode. Clearly inspired by the original G1 Headmaster figures, but with modern engineering and articulation, while also striving for cartoon accuracy, these figures are designed to fit in seamlessly with your Masterpiece collection.
According to board member and KFC spokesperson ibot, Kingorilla is set to release in May, while Kingzilla is set to be released in June with official product pictures and pre-order information coming soon.
In the meantime, feel free to jump over to our discussion boards to discuss what you think of these new figures.

The off-white reissues were released for 170 a pop at ShowZ.

Apeface and Snapdragon where two of my favorite characters in the Marvel comics, and knowing KFC hascreated MP versions of them really sounds great, even if they are already a few years old.
But what's the price you should pay for it? There's an Kingorilla for sale on a local website for € 180 ($194). Is it worth that? Or is another company going to release these two as well?
RoboToybase has them as well for a lower price, but with the added shipping costs it would be about the same.

….I just received both my KFC Apeface and Snapdragon offwhite + version figures and I immediately have to come here an post; an a copy of this in the snapdragon thread; is there is a tutorial or Fix post on how to disassemble an fix the head on gimmic? …so it works.. AT ALL!! As in so their heads will come off an on properly?
AS NEITHER one will detach their heads… AT ALL! Seriously! These things are gonna break before they detach!

That is a good deal for both of them, excellent figures!

Yeah they came with boxes. Ended up taking the plunge and buying them. They definitely hold up, I understand why KFC reissued them w paint now. The only thing bothering me is the swirly grey plastic. Despite that the plastic quality and build are surprising good, I was expecting something on badcube level. I might paint them up when I have the time.

Are you asking about the value as it is the only thing doesn’t holdup after the release of off white version? And $170 seems right if they come with boxes

Not entirely sure what you mean here?
Do you mean does the original still have a place amongst a Masterpiece collection? Then, yes, I think so.
Do you mean has the figure lasted in terms of quality? Absolutely? I've never had any quality issues with this figure or the "Snapdragon" figure.

For $170 dollars, I beleive they do.
Carlin
Does the original still holdup now that the off-white version is out? Was offered a set of both the original apeface and snapdragon for 170$

Might want to check those visible screws. I think they’ve assembled the left on the right and visa-versa

To my knowledge there are only two versions total… original with the grey plastic, non metallic… new with the off white plastic, metallic

How many versions of Kingorilla and Kingzilla has KFC produced thus far? Specifically, whether there are multiple versions of 9A+ and 10A+. Is there only an off-white version, or is there an off-white AND a metal colored version? I’m confused because several 9A+/10A+ listing don’t mention off-white and it’s hard to tell in some photos.

Oh yeah, international shipping is outrageous nowadays.

Sadly, probably not that cheap once shipped to the UK!
Clyde the Jackal
Well have I got news for you then.
Fanstoys, Newage, G1 & more
mrspingly
Yes, I think those have helped. My plan is to stick with the v2, but if I see someone selling off their v1 cheaply then I might indeed try the mix&match plan!

That toy combination is sexy!! The blue/pink isn’t as garish as I thought actually
mrspingly
Actually, I think they both look better than the original colour arrangements!
