old >>8769355 CNY is in effect so things have sloooowed down.
MMC's new Infinity Finity line sounds interesting. No pics yet but RVDA one of MMC's designers on TFW said this about it >Basically a MP line where we can go, 'what if?'. What if the next Tarn is a female Decepticon, what if this character was in G1, what if this famous car was a Transformer. It's something that will give us more freedom to be creative while still giving people what they want.
>>8798179IDW Animated Megatron! IDW Animated Megatron!IDW Animated SUPER Megatron with the three modes!
>>8798179I just want Hasui era MP-ized versions of various characters(tone down the chins on Animated designs and give them more details, give Prime characters a chin). Something like RTS. I want a Lugnut or Bulkhead that I can stick with G1 MPs.
>>8798179Considering the Takara Legends toys of stuff like that were some of the most creative toys of the last 5 years this does sound fun as hell. I'm much more excited to see new weird shit instead of the same goddamn S1 and 86 crews over and over again.
Anyone have stray (drift) and have any comments to share? It's grown on me after owning it for a few months now, but I still don't like the feel of the plastic.
>>8798179>famous car was a TransformerGENERAL LEE TRANSFORMER CONFIRMED.Maybe speed racer figures too.
>>8798179Big titty Prine?
>>8798390I mean....
>>8798333I have the Deadlock version and I don't remember it feeling any different from my other figures.I just hate how they cheapened out on the paint app on his crest
>>8798333I don't own it but I always loved the look of this figure. If he was deluxe/voyager sized I would be all over this guy.
>>8798402Similar, not quite still a good starting point if the bot more would be improved
>>8798407He is voyager sized though? He's not that big
>>8798333I own three different versions of this mold (Drift, Deadlock and Batman) and adore them. Only issue I've had is that some of the extra hinges and swivels on the batman one are a little lose.
>>8798333I got the Ratbat version and while the huge shoulder pylons are kind of a bummer to actually pose, transforming him back and forth is almost as satisfying as the legs folding over the entire rest of the figure on their Turmoil.>>8798432He's definitely between Voyager and Leader, at least for current year when both of those size classes have gotten a bit smaller.
>>8798545Admittedly I am not aware of how tiny and small official figures are nowadays, but that sounds pretty sad.
TCP sent me a 2 day notice for Gravestones trailer and accessory kit. I'm already in for the trailer as I used my points to knock $50 off, but I'm seriously debating cancelling the accessories. Maybe hope they shelfwarm and go on sale.
>>8798598I have a fully paid gravestone preorder at the moment. why is roadking so fucking good though
>>8798615unironically FansToys.
>>8798615RK was a real return to form form them after a slew of subpar releases. I honestly don't see how even takara could out do them on such a piece.
>>8798333I could never decide if I wanted to get Wing to go along with Deadlock (can't remember these unofficial names). I like the mold, but there's just something I also don't like about it that hinders me from buying a retool.Also, am I going crazy or didn't MMC plan on making a Blurr with this mold? Or am I just thinking of a fanmade photoshop?
>>8798552It's not that bad now that the size classes have more or less been abolished. Budget is spread across waves in their entirety so you get larger and smaller than normal figures for the sake of having better scale, giving paint apps to those that need it and less to those that don't. It's honestly better now than it's been since probably like 2010 classics.
>>8798179>What if this famous car was a transformerFucking PLEASE
>>8798689hehe flat boy
>>8798689At first I thought those side windows(?) were headlights, and that was a really wide car...
>>8798179>What if Sentinel Prime was hyper articulated?
>>8798179>transforming toys that they can't get shut down forThat's all I heard.
I just want him bros
>>8798179That sounds promising. I always wanted to see muscle cars and classic cars as g1 guys. Binaltech only did modern (for the time) shit
>>8798179Remeber the Armada Optimus Prime prototype that they said they had no idea what line to release it in? What if it's this?
>>8798752pretty sure hastak could shut down Tarn with a robo vag and Sunbow Lockdown if they cared to.
Just got this guy in the mail today. God damn that metallic blue looks good. They weren't kidding when they said the wings make it back heavy. Anyone have any recommendations for a stand that could actually work with it?Also: Sorry for the shitty picture quality, I really need to upgrade my phone.
>>8798886off topic but swear to god I saw a head in that jar
Speaking of MMC, if they still don't plan on reissuing Carnifex before or after their Fort Max/Supermax is out, I will cry.>>8798886Aside from playing with the center of balance, I don't think it's possible to do so (in robot mode anyway, for dragon mode I just don't bother transforming the hind legs completely so he can actually stand.)At best, you can have at least one wing not spread out, so the tips can touch the table. They aren't pointing so it's not like you'll have to worry about damaging the tips or anything. The Cyro repaint is super beautiful, I struggled with deciding which colours I wanted to go with. Decided to just go with red since he has the alt face.
>>8798883The only armada Prime prototype I remember is this Takara one.
>>8798895A whole head? Don't be ridiculous, it's just the skull>>8798900Welp, I guess half the fun will be getting him to stay up. I only chose the cyro paint scheme since I'm getting the OTHER TM2 Megatron which is already red, but they really nailed it with both colors.
>>8798914Yeah thats what I was talking about
Oh shit there are too many transformer threada i got lost and thought i was in the regular one
>>8798886I have absolutely zero connection to the character, but damn if I don't love having him for all those blues.
>>8799002And if you say anything about it the autistic makes 10 more to "own the slowfags"
>>8798179Classic Le Mans cars as G1-esque bots please. The GT40, Ferrari P3/P4 and Porsche 917 are musts.
Anyone have experience buying KO versions on Aliexpress?
tooth brush
compatible with effect parts.
>>8799248>>8799250No duck?
>>8799254Nobody cares about dumb meme duck.
>>8799255I like duck
>>8799254The duck was a Season 2/ Transmetal Megatron thing.
>>8799149Transformers fans won't buy famous cars unless they're a tv or movie special, so the most you might get is a 917k.I'd like a glyph that becomes an amc pacer or gremlin.
>>8799406Ah right, my mind sort of melds the two together.
>>8799419>AMC GremlinThat'd be a kek. But yeah I'd love to see more TFs modelled after real-world cars. I'd actually love some 50s-styled cars repped. Obviously the classic "land yauchts" like Cadillacs and the like would rock, but also some of the smaller non-American models, like the Toyota Crown. Or heck, a classic Mini. How have we never gotten a Mini TF outside of TW Goldbug (who was based on the modern one)?
>>8799149>>8799419>>8799433I would love to see them do a take on Herbie, since that seems like an easy step from Bumblebee.But that would very likely not happen because of The Mouse.
>>8799582
>>8799584
>>8799586Because we of course needed even more Seekers.
>>8799582This is another old TW mold yeah?
>>8799594That's basically what the EX line has been as far as I've seen. Except it seems these particular ones were never past the proto stage from the start.
>>8799165Ordered an Aoyi mech Mpm Megatron on Jan 17 from them and should be receiving it this Friday so I can let you know then.
>>8799433IF did a very vague Mini.
>>8799582Aren't these molds pretty fucking tall compared to Optimus and Megatron?
>>8799589Honestly these are good for those who want a new Seeker that isn't Legends scale or ugly Sunbow. Really hoping these have alt faces, the 3p industry really should expect those for all future products
>>8799631Maybe they are scaled in vehicle mode?
>>8799582Genuinely excited for this, I always disliked how the Maketoys one looked.Also don't care for G1 accuracy, I just want something sexy and better than MP-11.
>>8800005I for one don't overall mind the look that Meteor has, other than the shade of grey for his face kind of getting lost in his head. But since I only own the G2 variant "Screamer," it doesn't actually have that particular issue.It does however, have all the other kind of issues that already existed with the mold -- an ab crunch that then sacrifices any form of locking in at his waist, various wing panels that like to pop off if you try to get them looking a certain way, the backs of his legs detaching in general; those kind of things.
>>8799589>>8799586>>8799584>>8799582Looking good actually. Maybe a little over-greebled but still looks more in line with older MPs which is good since I'm not big on the flat sunbow aesthetics. The face needs some serious work though and I really hope they clean up that nosecone to look a bit more flush.
>>8800227I remember disliking the head (colour and size) and how they did the wings the most. I was planning on hoping somebody makes a good KO of Starscream 3.0 like Megs, since all this shit is overpriced nowadays, but I might not have to. >>8800383I think the face is acceptable, but it definitely can be improved on. It really needs alt faces though to compete with other alternatives though.
>>8798179Could be great, or not so great. So many 3rd party toys are based on pre-existing designs. I'd like them to take more risks with original ideas, but it's going to come down to whether or not the designs are interesting.
>>8799165I got the black mamba corvette assassin...or movie Sideswipe. for 30 bucks I'm fine with him.
>>8800410Things like the T-Beast line are really cool, but I think it's hard to not make the concept appealing.I'd like to see characters from very stylized properties (TFA, TFP, RID, etc) in a more Classics/IDW/whatever format. Kind of like RTS Lugnut.
>IF finally dose a reissue>its hound
How is AliExpress for UK buying now? After an MP33 KO and maybe MMC Artifex but availability looks thin on the ground here.
>>8800641I missed out on the Lambo bros set. I would love to see it reissued.
God when are third party guys gonna tackle Animated. Like Animated Megs has a giant fucking chest imagine all of the interesting articulation
>>88007393P are still horribly biased towards G1 and movie nostalgia. Being a Megatron gives him a chance though.
>>8800739I don't even care if it's animated styled or not, I just want a new and high quality toy of this iteration. Megatron was really cool in Animated.Still pissed about MMC's IDW Lockdown.
>>8800739>devastator never
>>8800739The one or two times they made third party Animated figures they sold like shit, so the well is tainted.
Hound arrived today. He's pretty good except for the placement of his arms in vehicle mode. I'll start with that pic then post all the good ones.
Next one
Another
One more...
And that's it
>>8800836When did they? I can't recall any (although this certainly proves your point)
>>8800854Pretty sure he's talking about Huffer and Pipes, which sold as a two pack. Also this cute TFCon exclusive!Mind you they came out like 6 years ago at this point. Not really sure if it's fair to gauge the interest in TFA over two minor characters opposed to somebody like Megatron.
>>8800840>>8799046
>>8800861>Not really sure if it's fair to gauge the interest in TFA over two minor characters opposed to somebody like Megatron.It's absolutely not. An Animated Megatron would sell really well I think.
>>8800915i would buy it for sure at the very least. I know that others have a soft spot for either Animated in general or this specific Megatron
>>8800718Yeah, I'd could get behind older releases like this and their jetfire.
I wonder how long it'll be until they show off Rook...
>>8800915TFA seems like a really niche thing, but I'd like to expect a Megatron at one point of my life.A part of me thinks it'd be a safer option to do something like Perfect Effect did and make them stylized. A lot of people enjoyed TFA but don't like the jarring styles and chins.
>>8800840>>8800842>>8800844>>8800847>>8800852I think you have the wrong thread, though I can understand not wanting to go back to it. >>8799046
>>8798406yeah I think I'm just being picky. And the deadlock one is awesome looking!>>8798452He fits fairly well with the MP's I have so I can't complain too much, but I'm glad I got the repaint over the original.>>8798452I'm a little sad I didn't see the deadlock one before getting this one, but still a neat figure.>>8798545Pic related is probably one of the better poses I can get out of him, and that's with having to flip his kneecap upside-down
>>8800612I agree with all of this. Loved RTS Lugnut and RotF Lockdown. An Animated Earth-mode Megatron would be great.
thoughts on this guy? got one coming soon, him and ironhide are hard as fuck to find these days but theyre the only ih/ratchet i like but i like them a lot
Animated designs need to be "de-animated" with real world details and gundam style details, dial the chins back, (or give us optional heads with and without chin power for all but sentinel prime) In unrelated news, I need things like this to be transformers.
>>8801047>>8798652sorry I missed your reply, I don't like how hollow it feels for how wide it is, and the arms, at least on mine, pop off very easily. I wish the shoulders had more to it than just being "there" since the rest of the piece looks well proportioned.
>>8801102Joint-wise there's nothing really special about him, but sometimes it can be effective enough. He's more engineered as a premium CHUG than something like a Masterpiece.
>>8800990I don't want to
>>8800641I wanted the bruticus to be honest
>rumours that FT might reissue their Quietus If that's the case I really hope they don't inflate the cost. I hate both XTB and FT as companies but that Cyclonus is so sexy
>>8801083Best way to describe it is they're not as good as you want them to be just from looking at them. Don't pay more than $40 for one.
>>8801377
>>8801727What a lovely Mintclonus.
>>8801739He reminds me of that prank where you replace an Oreo's white filling with toothpaste....
>>8801129The KO is just as good.
>>8800641W-why Hound though?
>>8800641>>8802101At least I feel that Hound is one of their good ones.
>>8802147It is, but still it's an odd choice to reissue.
>>8800915>It's absolutely not. An Animated Megatron would sell really well I think.People thought a Galaxy Force Starscream would have been a sure thing, but it practically had to be kickstarted to even release.
>>8801377kek, FT really sticking it XTB who are reissuing their cyclonus also.
>>8802154I'm sure there are only a select few that wouldn't fall under that classification, given their penchant for not doing re-issues. Though I suppose most recently (last year) they did re-run the D.E.C. guys.
Are there any good 3p Straxus or Mindwipe toys?
>>8798179This is an interesting idea. Would be interesting to see some newer characters in a G1 or other style, or alternative version of these characters.A very cool thing would be some very typical or radical Cons or Autobots versions in which they defected to the other faction. Like an Autobot Overlord or decepticon comic/toy Sentinel or something.>>8798716This too please.
>>8801121that's a good point, I shouldn't compare him to the other ones I have when he's essentially his own style.
Anyone have Artifex? How is he? I have Terraegis and he's great but I feel like I've seen more QC complaintz about Arty.
>>8802247Depending on what you'd be looking for in a Mindwipe, there's FansProject Sigma L, or Fans Toys' Dracula.
speaking of reissues Gcreation is re-releasing their six shot in metallic colors. waffled on the first release, but def picking this up.
Also getting an equally awesome nemesis recolor
>>8802286Shiny.
>>8802291Fuck my weaknesses to black & purple.
>>8802291This is rad. Do want.
>>8802286Didn't the treads have a problem with rotting? They really should fix thatAlso GCreation pls release that Megatron...
>>8802291>>8802291>NemesisYou mean Tarn recolor. Look at that and compare it to Tarn.
>>8802291Neat
>>8800817I mean, Yeagertron was never meant to be an IDW Lockdown, he was just a repurposing of a mold designed to be Death's Head into a conceptually similar guy because MMC weren't sure they wanted to risk a mass retail Death's Head.>>8800836>>8800861This. The Huffer/Pipes set didn't do great, but then they were background characters, if that, being sold solely on the hopes that people would want a Mario and Luigi homage. A major onscreen character would probably do better, but on the other hand, the 3P market is driven by Chinese sales mostly, and who knows how much the Chinese like Animated. It doesn't have that nostalgia drive that G1 does, or the popular movie hype of the Bayverse.
>>8801087I feel like that would ruin the charm of Animated. The flowing lines and limited but effective detail of Animated's art style is part of what makes it so unique and appealing for its fans.
>>8802526This. Sunbow designs need greebling up because they look terrible if done literally. Animated had a much more appealing style (and better animation) so it doesn't need stylizing.
>>8802526There's definitely a charm on its own, but TFA itself is a niche market unlike G1 and Bay. We've seen niche products like Galaxy Meteor burn (and I'm part of the problem because I didn't like the blue and the ugly faces to buy it ;_;) so who knows.Making it more stylised and fitting to something like IDW would give it more mass appeal, and the fact that it's Megatron.
>>8798168Someone's already managed to get that 3rd party Star Convoy?...Or mayve it's just a comparison photo from a 3rd party company.
>>8802602That pic was by mmc themselves, that said when China wakes up from it's new years hangover I would expect that prime to be out very soon afterwards
>>8802617Still, wonder what it'll be like next to the GenSelects version?
>>8802286>>8802291Any idea on the prices for them?
>>8803290>[Preorder] GCreations GDW-03 Fuuma Metallic Version IDW Sixshot>Price: RM469>Deposit: RM189https://shopee.com.my/product/294219488/9317613935/>[Preorder] GCreations GDW-03B Dark Blade>Price: RM479>Deposit: RM199https://shopee.com.my/product/294219488/9017616631/XE puts that at around $116 / 118.50 USD.
>>8802286This is a great figure a lot of people slept on. Probably too big for most people here but its great as a standalone too. Gcreation is the most slept on 3P.>>8802387The treads are coincidently about the same size as Ranger bands.
>>8798168Ocular Max is a really slept on line but I feel people have come around to it since Bruticus. That Cosmos is one of my favorite figures even though I fear its gonna sanp in half one day due to QC issues.
https://showzstore.com/flame-toys-tarn-damus-glitch-djd_p0664.htmlHmmmmm....
>>8803309Was hoping they'd go up on US sites today. Maybe tomorrow.
>>8803445I don't get it, but fuck a small part of me hopes that KO company comes through and didn't actually get cucked by FT. Fuck companies that charge 2x more than they need to.

>>8803588>>8803593>>8803596Please PLEASE come on my inner child needs this.
>>8803695Also transformed the broken Bmb prime and saw that the paint on nose of the trucked is chipped off. Did I screw up while transforming or is this a QC issue?
>>8803718But...wasn't it already broken?
>>8803724Yes? During shipping
Look what came in the mail today
>>8803733Guess I'm just trying to say that could have already been an issue even before transforming it.
God, I've had Despotron since release and I just drunkenly hamhanded it. Glad he's cheap.
>>8803746Dang, I didn’t know she was out already.How is she?
>>8803746yo. let us know how she is, i feel like a fool for not preordering but i didnt have the money
>>8803593What's going on with the cannons?

I havent bought transformers for years but I really want a nice combiner and someone told me to go for third parties. Can you guys recommend me a good combiner I can get?
>>8804308Well what combiner are you aiming for?
>>8804309Anything around a $100 or so, something I can combine and decombine over and over again as stress relief.
>>8804027>>8804029Neat, if I had interest in a repaint I wouldn't have bought Grimlock in the first place so I'll buy this using the funds I got from selling Wheelie
>>8804312So something cheap and kinky.
>>8804312Yeah most of the good combiners will run you at least twice that. If you really want to keep it around 100$ though consider getting the pocket toys KO of Iron Factory's Bruticus or one of the mechfanstoys ko of DX9 hulkie.
>>8804312You could also aim for the daban or jinbao devestator, both run on the cheaper end and are fucking massive
>>8803588>>8803593>>8803596Anyone else think his legs are too thin?
>>8804312not quite that cheap, but the KO Jinbao devastator is a good one.Its big, its good value for its price, decent quality, and quite fun to transform and combine.i think the whole thing is about 150 bucks and the size of a baby.
>>8804386>>8804372Ive been looking at the Jinbao devastator, looks great. Are the other Jinbao transformers any good?
>>8804389they make real good OSKOsI think i have their MP megatron, and it holds up great, looks real good on a shelf, and only has a chonky gun mode, otherwise its pretty perfect.
>>8804372>>8804386Is there a good breakdown of the differences between the KO and the original? I expect some simplification of the engineering to lower costs, but I want to be sure of what I'm losing out on since I like my combiners to be posable individually as well.
>>8804415between the Jinbao and the original?AFAIK, the Jinbao guy is just bigger, same poseability.The individual guys look good separately, everyone can hold quite dynamic poses.The combined mode is huge, so its not as stable as the smaller original (i would assume) but it still holds reserved poses well, and if you can have it brace itself against something, you can get a bit more extreme.
>>8804372>Legastator! Creation of Dr. Legbeat!
>>8804415Its actually the opposite, they added more ratchet joints and some other engineering here and there. That said the whole combiner was wibbley due to the size.The daban is a one to one ko though if that helps

I guess it worked out in the end, barely.
>>8804589Wrong thread >>8803585
>>8804596No, he's fine. He's talking about Master Made Diabolus Rex.
>>8804596no, master made trypticon
>>8804600>>8804601well fuck. In that case, he should invest in a more precise heat gun so he doesn't risk applying too much heat or melting the wrong parts. That thing ain't cheap, and I'm sure heat guns are cheaper than replacing an out of print MM figure. If it has Diecast, doubly so since you really want to avoid heating metal on plastics.
>>8804521I can confirm JB Gravity Builder is stable and quite fun. Their giant Feral Rex KO is neither. But then again, I got the cromed version of Havoc and I'm enjoying very much...
>>8804623heat gun is definitely a worse idea than a hairdryer.its a lot more heat.
>>8803862>>8803850Fantastic figure. Lots of die cast. Very smooth and quick transformation. The way the head goes into the chest is cool too.
>>8804867I would have gotten it if it had a waist swivel, thigh swivels, and better feet. Looks great but I just require a little more articulation out of things that I actually buy.
>>8804793A lot of heat guns can be adjusted to run cooler than hair dryers, and include precision nozzles so you can concentrate the heat more efficiently. I use a heat gun kind of like this to fix stress marks on old toys boiling water won't and it usually takes a few second of circular blowing to solve, and I've only ruined a few dollar store figures I was practicing on by touching the nozzle, which will melt the plastic irreparably. It really works remarkably and well and gives you a bit more control than a hair dryer is designed to. Then again I also use it for tons of other DIY stuff, so if you only need it once, you might a well risk the hair dryer.
>>8805090huh, that seems smart.
Apparently Toy wolf posted these quite a while ago while I wasn’t paying attention:https://m.weibo.cn/detail/4583859884134885
>>8805189Was trying to think of what other bathroom appliances they haven’t done yet, maybe the next one will turn into a sink or something.
HQ pics of purple Fuuma
Am I crazy for wanting to double dip on this? I want both the metallic g1color and this version.
>>8805676>>8805681>>8805688I hope this dude has major improvements, was tempted to go for the first release but it had too many issues for me to pull the trigger.>>8805691I'd be tempted too.
>>8805701I never heard of any real issues save for the treads on the arms may rip.
>>8805718That, and i didn't like how some parts didn't seem very secure, the beast mode also had something about it that bothered me too, I've forgotten what though.
>made a throw away account so I can view daims FB page again>fuckers disabled it because it doesn't follow "community standards"WHY?! I just want to look at TF news and pics FFS.
>>8805676This looks so good but its so fucking big I don't have much space left.
>>8805817You can't shove maga shit where it doesn't belong.
>>8806084?
>>8805817FB doesn't allow throw away accounts, if you don't feed them legitimate private information they WILL ban you.People hate that weapon for a reason.
>>8806112ahhh, forget that noise then.
>>8806112>FB doesn't allow throw away accounts, if you don't feed them legitimate private information they WILL ban you.Why do retards use this platform again?
>>8806296>Why do retards use this platform again?Sort of answered that one yourself there.
>>8806296Because it was founded during the normalfag invasion of the internet and became too big to fail by exploiting mom and dad's complete lack of basic cyber security knowledge to build a userbase out of basically every household on the planet with internet access.
>>8806302ohhh>>8806336I remember being taught as a kid to never talk to strangers on the internet, give out my real name, or any pictures of myself, and now literally every normie twitter/instagram account i've ever seen has the user's fuckin name and picture. When I tell normies that I dont have any social media because I have nothing to share and actually don't want my info being sold to shitty advertising companies they look at me like I'm the crazy one, wat am I even gonna use facebook/instagram/twitter/snapchat for anyway? Who the fuck cares or wants to see my toy pictures, who cares about this shit???
>>8802463First thought was this
>>8806365I want to see your toy pictures anon.
>>8806656they'd be off topic for the thread, its all hasbro stuff and some gunpla since I only have a few 3p . still lurk the threads doe since cool shit that really grabs my attention like >>8806421 habbens sometimes
>>8806673Thus the reason you need to make a Facebook page for yourself to post all your toy pictures to!
>>8806843I'm not falling for that one so easily, Zuckerberg!
>>8806871I'll just leave you to think about it, is all.
So which bumblebee optimus prime figures have a good truck mode? The toyworld, mpm and majority of the designs have legs with wheels, is the SS the only truck that looks ok from the back?
Scifigure industry teasers for the new year. First one is silhouette https://www.weibo.com/7475800690/K3Ifn2RSa

Lastly are renders of their helicopter TF coming this Summer.https://www.weibo.com/7475800690/K3J3nlYJV

>>8807193>>8807195>>8807198 These ain't transformers, go to the mecha thread for your generic robot from a vehicle anime crap.
>>8807201
>>8807203
>>8807202You will never turn into a helicopter.
>>8807206
>>8807208
>>8798886I have the regular red version, and a "snake bone stand" off of eBay will do the job of keeping them on their feet. Don't expect it to keep them supported off the ground in a stable manner, though. They're just too damn heavy for that. The stands are like $15-$20 bucks.
Buggy Robo was out before CNY? Any in-hand reviews yet?
>>8807198This looks more interesting than their initial jet figure. I imagine it will be smaller if the alt modes are in scale right?>>8807195Definitely keeping an eye on this, I tend to prefer sci fi alt modes
>>8799582Articulation looks limited.
>>8803452Dark Blade:https://www.thechosenprime.com/gdw03cfuumadbhttps://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/153882Metallic:https://www.thechosenprime.com/gdw03bfuumametallichttps://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/153887
>>8807719Yeah, doesn't look that great
>>8807861Also for context, the Stateside RSP for the original Fuuma was $210.
>>8805676This is just making me even more desperate for a Shadowmaru repaint with a new head.Fuck.
>>8807203The helicopter blades on the shoulder looks really cool. Design isn't my cup of tea overall though to consider buying it>>8807945You've made me depressed too.
>>8807198This is the heli-boi I'm waiting for
>>8807861Thanks anon. Went ahead and preordered both. Couldn't resist.
>>8807861Anyone know any UK places that have em?
Any of you guys recommend a specific toy for Sunstorm? Or any aggressively yellow-orange robot, for that matter.
>>8809036>any aggressively yellow-orange robotYOU RANG?!?!
>>8809036I think the only 3P Sunstorm around right now is Newage's Sunstorm. IF had one too but it was a BAF bonus with their long, LONG sold out seeker trio.
>>8809180Man, this just makes me wish we got an actual weinermobile transformer
I've been seeing a lot of shilling for Naval Commander, is it really all that?
>>8809311I have him, he's pretty cool. I've heard others have been having QC issues, but I haven't experienced any except for some base mode tabs refusing to tab in (though it doesn't really affect anything except not looking perfect). Opening up his super mode head to replace the ears was a pain, though.
3rd party has Fametoys TarnSuper7 TarnIron Factory TarnGcreation Sixshot TarnWhy no Hasbro Tarn figure when there's clearly a market?
>>8806673whats that figure riding on top?
>>8809354I don't get how you can consider a black and purple Sixshot 'Tarn' but not consider MMC's actual Tarn.As for Hastak, who knows. The fact that they have yet to make things like an official MP Galvatron is more bewildering
>>8809369takara has no Rhyme or reason with the MP line.You'd think they'd have the entire season 1 cast done by now.
>>8809375How mishandled the MP line is frustrating. They absolutely can't criticize the 3P industry for anything when they've sat on their asses for the longest time, and their idiotic notion that Deceptions are harder to sell (unless they're a Seeker because ez repaints)
