KS side of the KC burbs.
I have several of these and they're all good. A tiny bit looser in the joints than I would like, but not floppy and they hold a pose just fine. The only real complaint is The Funk Clone Brother. They stink! Such an awful plastic smell. I recently got some purple clones to flank Mace and man, these look cool as hell.

I've bought soooooo many Clones from that guy. For what they are, they're top notch. I have two Airborne Troopers that Hasbro doesn't seem to want to make. I grabbed the P1 Rex he had, and a bunch of various 501st troopers. Some random 212th, a few Wolf Pack guys, and now there are Doom troopers.
 
Technically not a ko, but some thoughts on Play One Twelve Galactic Hunter (Boba Fett). There's several good things going on here, but there's a major flaw that was easily avoidable and if I were more discerning when looking at the pictures, I might not have bought this figure. His damn pant legs for his jumpsuit are too short. I don't know what they were thinking. I tried to adjust his suit, give the pant legs a tug down. It may have helped a tiny bit, but his skin is going to show if you bend his knees.
Okay, he can stand around and look cool, but his pant legs aren't tapered at the ankles. He has a little strip of ribbon at his ankle that I thought had Velcro and could be tightened up. They're actually glued. I'm going to try to stitch them and cinch the pant leg tighter to the ankle. It may be an improvement.
While fiddling around with his pants the one side of the glued straps fell off one of his kneepads.
There were couple issues that differ from the photos. The in-hand wookie braids look terrible. They're thin thread. Girth belt was shown over the crotch armor. That's impossible to do here due to the length of the belt and the armor isn't as form fitting to his waist as it needs to be.

Too many issues for $96. I was close to eating the $12 deposit. Probably would have if someone posted a review.
 
My earliest run-in with SW related KOs is from the Movie Realization line (Samurai style SW).

That line was great, and I have only authentic versions, but I had to navigate a bunch of KOs. They were also examples of the modern KO that is much closer in quality to the originals so that it gets to be almost impossible to tell the difference.
 
Here's the Play One 12 next to Mafex Boba. I broke out the needle and thread to cinch his pant legs a little tighter and glued his knee pad strap. While messing around a couple more silly issues popped up. I don't think he can properly grip his blaster without exerting force and potentially breaking the gun. They made tools for his shin pockets, but those pockets are sewn shut. Very strange, it seems like all they had to do was not stitch the top.

I got hyped up by Jedi Luke and preordered Anakin and Boba, but now I feel like I'm done with third party 1/12 clothed Star Wars.
