>can't buy figures one at a time and space out purchases

dude $100 a month is peanuts. Just pace yourself on the figures. That's what I'm doing. IronShell was Jan, Deathclaw Feb, Cybershark was march, bigbite was april, mentarazor was may, this dude will be june.

>>6351536

With combiners you always run the risk of them not being in stock when you can finally nab whatever is the next piece for you, though. Shit, I was thinking of picking some of them up the past few months, but every time I checked, some were out of stock and hadn't come back in.

>>6351560
Pretty sure GCI has them all right now, and TFSource likely has the ones GCI doesn't

>>6351563

GCI?

GCI toys. Small company ran out of texas, super nice owner. Just don't buy his custom parts because the wait line is significantly longer than he will ever probably be able to produce. Also message him on facebook through the store's page, you'll be likely to get some free stuff like decepticon decals if you do.

Has anybody else ever noticed Uniquetoys MP-style figures seem to have overly-long torsos?

I'm legitimately not sure if it's the case or just me.

any info about Susano-o? got noir in a stack and its killing me not being able to ship yet

>>6351516
Ouch. I just built the weapons this morning and I did notice the connection on the pole arm was crazy tight. Might look into doing something about that. Maybe getting a Q-tip in there with some shock oil could make it less frightening.

He's perfect.

>>6351842
Everything has basocally said he is mediocre at best.

I need some good opinions here about an MP Megatron, guys. Should I wait for the Wei Jiang or go for Takara? I just want a good Megatron that I can mess with and still look nice at the end of the day.
I also feel like Wei Jiang will be $100 cheaper.

>>6352014
Avoid Takara like the plague, the thing only looks good from the front and the transformation ruins the paint.

>>6352014
I personally think Takaratron looks extremely great as a robot form, but I don't like the pricetag on him at current. As for Wei Jiangtron, wait for the reviews first. Hell they might even do their oversized Takaratron KO.

I finally got Striker Manus. Cool figure. I don't really care for the way the feet work, though.

I had trouble with the feet at first as well, but then I figure out how everything was supposed to line up and I haven't had a problem since.

Pretty sure they are mistransformed out of the box.

All in all this guy has the best articulation out of any figure I own, Transformers or otherwise.

Whoever said that I'd love Kultur, you're a Goddamn fucking liar.

"Love" is far too mundane a word for how I feel about him.
His size is just perfect for what I'd want in this kind of character. The fact that even when kneeling he still towers over my shelf's "canon" Megatron tickles me pink.

>>6352617
Chosen Prime has that price too, so it might be some kind of sale thing.

Also, what are tabs on his leg for? Masterpiece compatibility? Also does he have a wist swivel?

>>6352617
Thanks for the tip on that, wasn't gonna preorder the little guy but at that price I feel like its more than worth it.

Nah. This is great even as an FT fanboy. This will pressure FT to deliver a better product. I just hope the DX9 one isn't shoddy to meet the lower price point.

>>6352658

>>6352804

KOing shit wouldn't matter if they delivered a better quality product. FT is just a bunch of assholes who practice brutal business practices to shove people out of the market. Again, this wouldn't matter if they didn't deliver really good shit that people were okay with waiting on.

I prefer the thinner, more tapered FT crotch and midsection over Gabriel who looks more like a box with limbs. I prefer the longer upper arms/legs on FT as well. I like the pointier yellow knee pads and more clever head engineering on Gabriel though.

>>6351384

Make sure the double hinge is flat to the bottom of the foot. That usually helps me.

>not buying an entire combiner team

Now, I'm not the sort of guy who, for example, needs to run out and complete teams, or even buy more than 1 Seeker (shit, the only Seekers I own are the Legends trio, and they're cheap as fuck, or used to be anyway), but even I feel like I'm missing something if I don't get the full team of a combiner.

Of course, this is excepting "extra" members like Not-Predaking's yellow arm who I totally don't give a crap about since he's basically an OC homage. And even if I get the Seacons I'd probably skip the shark guy because TFC kind of fucked his colors and he's the least interesting member.

>>6352830

Yeah, seriously. A friend of mine does design work for a 3rd party company, and he told me some of the shit they've pulled. It explained a lot when I heard that they have a blood feud with DX9 because they snatched one of their designers. Or that DaCaToys was part of their management, until he got caught trying to sell the Weirdwolf design to a KO company. Which is ironic because they're responsible for a lot of the KO stuff out there.

Man I wish I could find the weibo vid that talked about all of this. Either way, Gabriel exists purely to serve as one giant middle finger to Fans Toys.

>>6352943
Could they make any money if it is half the price?

I don't think they are trying to make any profit, but just want to undermine FT.

Something's off with the proportions of this guy. I think it's that the shoulders aren't wide enough. It almost looks like they're missing some extra pieces to fill them out. Pic related illustrates what I'd be looking for.

Still, the individual members look sweet so I might grab a couple anyway.

>>6352914
I keep missing the boat for combiners because I'm so wary about QC and when a full set is released and seems to be good, I have the urge to buy the whole set at once, which is usually impossible, or I'm apprehensive another, better version will come out. The only one I have is Feral Rex, which I got a good deal on for the set of 6. I wish I could experience the hype of getting a newly released combiner one piece at a time, but I'm always too skeptical.

What's the basic consensus on Poseidon? Agesthreeandup running one final spring sale, and bots 1, 3, 5 on sale for $70 a piece (2 & 4 are OOS, and 6 is full price).

Am I in too deep to escape a first foray into 3P combiners (Colossus non-inclusive)?

>>6353336
they aren't over engineered, all of them are very solid, only real complaint about them anyone seems to have is the lower legs are a tad chunky (no articulation problems though) and that many people don't think they have enough paint for what they are. IMO I love them and own 5/6th of the set, bought them all at retail price. I think for $70 go for it!

Possibly the best full package combiner so far official or turd. The alt modes are fun and not throwaway, the robot modes work well. The gun mode is throwaway without fanmoding but all do the arms and legs well, though some are better at certain things. As a standalones, they're fairly good with Deathclaw coming out on top as the best of the bots in every mode. Pick him up if nothing else. Bar issues holding the gun modes member, the joints are excellent. My only other experience with tfc is picking up engraver and immediately selling it.

The transformation from arm to leg to robot might eat you up because of robot mode knee positioning shenanigans. They come with a metric ton of extra parts that need to sit around with some things that are unnecessary. The combiner can't hold up another member in gun mode with one arm. The head fix to make the combiner head pop forward requires you to do some serious work on replacing and knocking out the pin and is not worth the hassle if you don't know what you are doing. They individual bots lack paint despite a lot of color breakup are overpriced at $100. $70 is great, $60 is perfect.

I guess the issues that always come up are space & finance. If I get the 3 limbs here, plus the other 2 & torso from GCI (which seems to have both best prices & in stocks), I'm looking at a purchase ranking over $540; or around $350 if I just get the torso.

Contrasting, Iron Factory has their Bruticus coming out later this year, with a now price-reduced Shockwave to pair. And that would run about $240 in total.

It's not bullshit. That was them, delibrately trying to dick over DX9. Maketoys was a bonus.

>>6353600
>I've never heard about them ko-ing stuff before. Please expand.

Okay, you know all those MP KOs? Usually they happen because the KO makers directly buy or even outright steal the CADs. It's only sometimes 'lunchbox specials'. Some of the FT people did this for a side profit, like DaCaToys, but there are two things you need to know about FT:

1. They are intent on being the dominant market force and do not tolerate ANY competition.
2. They are extremely petty.

So competition from DX9 was already something they were pissed at. But then DX9 'stole' one of their designers, and it's been personal ever since. It's why so much of their stuff in particular has been KOed in general lately, and the whole reason why Gabriel exists: As one giant 'FUCK. YOU.' to Fans Toys. Also why Open Play exists, and why their Springer is the cheapest on the market.

>>6353606

Some other shit FT pulled:
>Distribution sabotage. For example, they bought up a large amount of MMC stock to sell it to some vendors below retail value. This made them look bad with retailers who thought they had struck a deal with those who got the 'discount'.
>Have tried to scalp designers from other companies, threatened them that they would regret it if they didn't switch.
>Treat designers like shit with shit pay.
>Undermine competition. Either by announcing their own versions even if the market is flooded. Or more extreme, with shell companies that release KOs.

As far as I know no firebombing though.

>>6353912

The god bomber feet are barely strong enough to support PM prime alone, much less when you staple two+ add on kits to it. If this doesn't come with replacement ratchets then it will implode under all the extra weight.

Also;

>Import two Takara leaders for 60-100 bucks a piece for God Bomber
>Buy two DLC kits for 20-50 bucks a piece
>You're now at least 150 in the hole for something that poses like shit and can't even stand under it's enhanced girth

Why.

>>6353917

>DX9 is trying to screw over FT by making the same figure as them

I hardly see FT shitting the bed because a B tier company decides to square up with them, regardless of who stole/sabotaged who. I know Gabriel is being released waaaaay below Terminus' price point but I doubt that will be enough to stop Terminus from being sold.

I am fully aware I'm sucking FT dick when I say this but the bottom line is just quality. I have never held a bad DX9 toy, but I have also never held a stellar DX9 release either.

I'm curious why FT feels the need to be such backstabbing kikes when they don't really need to resort to it. Their stuff is good enough to drive others out of the market.

>>6353924
>Why.
Because TAKARA ALWAYS WINS

>>Treat designers like shit with shit pay.
>>Undermine competition. Either by announcing their own versions even if the market is flooded. Or more extreme, with shell companies that release KOs

I love most FT toys, some are even my favorites but I''m genuinely interested in this stuff and these things would influence my future purchase decisions if these things are true.
The above mentioned things sound like petty things to do but how am I supposed to believe them as these stories are so easily fabricated by anyone who doesn't like FT for whichever reason

>>6354009

I've always held a conspiracy that FT is actually Takara Tomy. Their shit is so good and accurate to the designs. It would also seem useful for TT to have a proxy company act like a bunch of assholes to bully other companies into submission.

Is he really worth it? How does he scale with MP Soundwave?

>>6352684
Head sculpt looks nicer on the DX9, though I prefer the rest of FT's but not to the point where i'd pay $150 more.

>>6351486
I want to get on board with this but I'm so fucking tired of paying full price for everything only to see it clearanced a year or two later.

>>6354235

I don't own MP Soundwave, so I'm not sure, but yeah he is worth it. Multiple face plates, good articulation, chunky beefy look, easily the least complicated Megatron transformation and looks good from all sides.

Downside is probably for me, that he's covered in silver paint. It's not bad quality or anything, but any little scuff or scratch you get on this guy is gonna show.

>>6354262

It's funny because the good stuff rarely goes on sale or gets clearance'd. All you ever see going on sale often is the shit stuff no one wants. Thats why most of TFC's combiners are always on deep discounts, for example.

>>6354285
>All you ever see going on sale often is the shit stuff no one wants

That was true a few years ago, but now with third party companies pumping out more stock, the bigger brands always end up on clearance.

I can't remember the last time I payed full price for a FT/MT/MMC release.

>>6354389
>I can't remember the last time I payed full price for a FT/MT/MMC release.

Where are you shopping then, because I never see the good stuff on sale anywhere. And I mean a real sale, not "this newly released $150 product we're offering for $145" because that shit is not a sale.

It all comes down to what size and what design you like by this point.

>>6354836
The problem is I like them all, though.
I'm at the point where for a lot of characters, I have one, maybe two, definitive toys. with Optimus, there's just so many scratching different itches.

>>6354845
Do what I do: Get the repaints. Nemesis, Magnus, Shining, anything you can find. Optimi get more repaints than the Bay Movies get scripts worked into them

>>6354845

Get'em all then. Just get what you can over time, and eventually you'll have all the ones you want.

>>6354859

Usually the only repaints an Optimus ever gets is Nemesis or sometimes White-Inner-Ultra-Magnus-That-Never-Actually-Existed-In-The-Canon-Outside-Of-Some-Comics.

If they're TT then why the fuck have they had such a difficult time sculpting faces?!

Don't get me wrong, FT is the gold standard for 3P and I have a ton of their releases, but the faces can be weak.

Also, kinda bums me out that they might be backstabbing dicks who pay their ppl shit.

>>6354985
>Also, kinda bums me out that they might be backstabbing dicks who pay their ppl shit

Well, if it helps, all of the official TF's are probably assembled in factories where conditions are so bad they put suicide nets outside of it in case any of them gets the bright idea to jump.

He's MP scale and fits with Soundwave. I have him. he's freaking great and absolutely aces for the price.

I picked up a Fansproject Colossus (with Onsalught Vortex and Brawl) set for $40 today.

I like it! It's old! These figures make me appreciate Iron Factory's output a lot more, and weirdly enough it seems like these two might end up in the same scale for their Brutici.

Did I do okay on the price?

>>6355049
>these two might end up in the same scale for their Brutici

>>6355049
If you scored the entire combiner and kit for $40, that's an amazing price.

I believe someone mentioned it here briefly, but yeah, I'm glad they're releasing it. Kind of on the fence about it though mainly because I already have most of the official WFC/FoC figures and they actually scale better with PX's Grimlock than their own offerings. Kind of hoping someone makes undersized KOs of them someday, but I shouldn't hold my breath.

Check around, he got a 2nd or 3rd run a few months (2? 3?) ago. Some places might still have him somewhere.

Man, I remember when everyone was shitting on how bad Tarn looked.

>>6356381
I still don't care for how he turned out.

>>6356381
I still think he looks bad. Honestly, he's a hype train I wish I could get on, everyone who has him seems to love him but I can't get past it.

>>6356381

I remember people bitching about the mask and the hands from the test copy when they were so floppy they couldn't hold shit.

>>6356381
He looks okay, just not my cup of tea. I was initially hyped on him but something about his lanky arms and fuckhuge gun don't mix well to me. More power to the folks who like him though, only DJD member released thusfar I like is Cynicus. Skinny gun for a skinny guy, makes sense.

>>6356220
I think its a bit of a shame they're not going for the WfC design. I think its the stronger design of the two.

>>6356381
His face still looks godawful retarded and the eyes not showing through the mask really really annoy me. But Im holding out hope they're still gonna come out with that revised head they said they would sometime back in the MMC facebook group. I would definitely enjoy this figure more if the fucking head looked better. Right now I see him on my shelf and I'm like "wow I love that figure and everything is pretty nice about him...except for the head, what a shame".

I agree. I really wish they did a Voyager WFC Prime since that design is aces. But both the WFC designs have decent toys. Going the FoC route makes sense as far as covering bases goes. Though that sort of gets thrown out the window thanks to them just doing the seekers.

I'm still waiting on a fucking Ratchet or Ironhide. Goddamn they even did a perceptor for some reason first.

The upper portion is recessed and it makes the lower portion stick out much further than it should giving him an odd "lower lip" that's jutted out. The mask is also completely flat when viewed from the side which isn't accurate to the comic one that has a nice angle to it giving him a more menacing look. Then there's the problem with the eyes where they wanted so bad to have the clever mask removal gimic which in the end didn't fucking matter anyway since Tarn in a literal who and the face sculpt doesn't look like him anyway. So now he constantly has these dead eye holes with nothing in them because the face sits so far back when Tarn's whole deal was how menacing his eyes looked through his mask.
The whole face ends up looking like a gas station knock-off that was too worried about getting sued to do an accurate representation.

There's an oversized KO of the WfC Prime, it's definitely worth getting.

>>6356530
Well I know it is a small thing that won't annoy most people but I feel like it's a missed opportunity when the entire rest of the figure was perfect. Just me though.

>>6356520
True enough, though it could be loopholed that Megs did use his WfC design for a fair bit of FoC, much how seekers, iirc stayed about the same visually. I'm sure their FoC megs will be nice, but I think WfC megs has a smoother aesthetic and nicer paint scheme.

>>6356529

I need the damn cannon attachment fixed more than the head. As is it's impossible to bend his elbow without hitting the shoulder treads.

>>6356607
That is pretty fucking annoying as well. I actually have taken his cannon off since it seems like its always in the way but it shouldn't have to be like that.

So this will work with most of the X2 kit since all it does is change the breastplate and cab? Despite all the flaws with the leader magnus the thing that irked me the most is the fucking retarded door scaling with the cab.

>>6357261
Aside from the whole "gun can mount onto the back" thing, there's really no reason it shouldn't be able to work with the X2 upgrade kit.

That being said, that figure is really more IDW Magnus, while the PE figure would give it a G1 chest, so not sure what kind of design you'd be aiming for by combining the two.

>>6357112
Yep, I'll be buying this. If Minimus could somehow fit inside that would be the shit. I love robots inside robots inside robots.

I can't help but imagine there's a Gurren Lagann toy with this exact premise.

He's great, looks fantastic, plastic is good, just is missing a few articulation points that DX9s will probably have, but for me he replaced IF Soundwave as the primary one on my Legends shelf

So I bought an Iron Factory Starscream from The Chosen Prime the other day.

It came in the box with one wing missing.

Are TCP alright about this sort of stuff? Would it be better to contact Iron Factory?

Also was this figure supposed to come with any sort of insert, instructions or something because it also didn't have that in the box, where other Iron Factory stuff has in the past.

>>6357580

I'd say definitely contact Chosen Prime, since you bought it from them. Tell them everything thats missing, take some pics if you can.

Perfect Effect is making them. They aren't out. You can preorder them at any store that sells third party stuff. BBTS, TFSource, The Chosen Prime, Captured Prey, etc.

Be warned if you want Prime to go with Power Master Prime you're going to need an additional Ginrai kit that comes with a super mode head that fits into the cab.

Well the Perfect Effect one is technically an add-on kit for the HasTak figure, so all you're buying is the little truckformer. The Maketoys one is a complete "Powermaster" toy so you can't buy the tiny cab on its own.

It looks as though both the TR and LG versions require the Ginrai/Powermaster kit, they're both using its head.

I wonder how the Ultra Magnus version will work, then. I'd assume it'll just come with an Ultra Magnus head included?

>>6357778
Oh, I didn't see that post, my bad.

>>6357734
Not that guy, but I seem to remember some sanding was necessary on mine to get some parts to fit.

It was far more manageable than their Shockwave and Grimlock kits to be sure. Shockwave's main issue was just his thigh swivels. My Grimlock's tolerances were WAY too tight, to the point where one of the balljoints sheared itself off its stem.

So just keep in mind it might not go together as simply as a gunpla, but it is quite solid. I've transformed him many times without issue.

>>6357791

Damn, the Grimlock was one of the ones I wanted the most.

>>6357261
Is that kit still available for a decent price anywhere? I've been wanting it but, but not "almost 80$ from chinese ebay sellers" wanting it.

>>6357261
I heard some bad press about this on release and decided against getting it but good god that really does fix most of the visual issues with him.

There's always the Platinum Boxset version. It has a more Takara deep blue but I don't know how close it is since I only have the Platinum version. Also the red thigh fillers would be out of place.

It's not bad, it works if you want to give Magnus wrists and ankles

the only downside is the cab-back is flawed as is and doesn't attach securely. You can fix this with a bit of sanding/cutting but it doesn't invalidate the real draw of the upgrade kit, the aforementioned wrists and ankle joints.

If minimus could fit into the magnus bot, car or bot mode, I would find it really fucking hard to not get him... cause that'd be the perfect magnus set with a g1 style. tiny robot, pilots bigger prime-like robot, piloting magnus like robot, all I'd need would be a robot for ultra magnus to pilot.

Keep going dude. You are the most perplexingly antagonistic and condescending subhuman I've spoken to all day.

You window-lickers are arguing about Chinese Knockoff plastic robots from some cartoon that aired more than 30 years ago. I just wanted you to realize that.

Convince me not to do it.

>>6360534
If the quality is good $279 is a steal for a bot of this size. Though for that price I expect paint to be sparse, no diecast and maybe some hollow limbs.

>>6360954

Yeah, I kinda expect it to be more like HasTak Titan figures than the giant MP that Terminal Hugefuck is going to be.

>>6360929
Anon, don't. Don't do it. Let me convince you. You'll end up slightly disappointed

>>6361009

My inner manchild can't resist the huge. I'm also a FT fanboy.

God forbid they do a Skorponok this big I'd fucken nut.

Fine by me. I also don't get why hollow bits are inherently a bad thing. As long as they aren't gaping like pic related, they mean your toy doesn't weigh a metric fuckton and joints won't have to be terrifyingly tight. Plus on a city bot, it means you can have compartments for cockpits, weapons, and other neato playset features.

>>6361239
How is that Custom Robots Soundwave?

How in the hell do you transform striker manus/noir so his cab doesn't lean forward? I've been at this shit for an hour and have looked at several videos but I can't figure out what's not fitting together properly. Every time I connect the shoulders into the back of the truck, something pops out and everything gets off-kilter.

>>6361270
Can you give us a pic? I've never heard of this problem and I don't quite understand what you're describing.

It's a little hard to see, but the top of his cab is tilted forward in the first pic. The circled part in the second one is what's coming untabbed when I plug the shoulders in, but I'm at a loss for why.

Make sure that you are rotating the hip skirt properly. Each side flips down 90 degrees when transforming into truck mode

Yes, yessss. Let them fight it out. Let them all fight!

>>6361418
Oh man, that was the last thing I would have thought so of course that was the problem. Thanks.

>>6361439
No problem. I had the exact same issue just last night.

>>6361411
holy kek

I want some dinobots for my generations collection. Which do you all recommend?

>>6361446
if you like the FOC look go with planet X.

>>6361453
What if I don't like the FOC style?

>>6361461
Planet X regardless, they're the best set out there.

>>6361461
Well there's Fans Project but their a mixed bag and looks like they'll never get snarl out since they seem to have gone kaput. Then there's G creations who's are also a mixed bag of QC and design choices.

>>6361411
Will they be making enough of them though?

Chances are, they will make enough to drive DX9 out.

>>6361461

Toyworld's are great as classics figures. Aside from lacking some things here and they look the part and are generally solid. Don't ever attempt to combine them.

Otherwise Planet X's FOC is your best bet. Fansprojects are a crapshoot of lackluster engineering despite the excellent weapon master gimmick. You can probably find them for cheap though since they're taking ages for Snarl.

>>6361535
Are they even going to make a Snarl? I'm surprised they did those random fembots before him.

>>6361411
lol really?

Fucking FT.

>>6360442
I would buy this.

Uhhhh... row row fight tha powa! XD

Are there any other companies that are making a Super Ginrai besides Maketoys and Fans Hobby?

>>6362212
Iron Factory(?) made a little legends scale (War within) God Ginrai if that counts.

There's also that Xovergen trailer that fits various prime cabs but I hear it's shit.

>>6360900

Sweetie, we never forgot.

But let's face it. In a world where some of the most powerful people are playing keepaway with the future of humanity, others are blowing themselves up and killing dozens of people - even children - for no reason at all while half of the world's population has less money to spend than the eight wealthiest people -
do you really think we're the crazy ones?

>>6360854
>being THAT dumb
Ok.

>>6362243
>Iron Factory(?) made a little legends scale (War within) God Ginrai if that counts.
Yeah it doesn't. Not that I don't like it, but I meant an actual Ginrai.

>>6361411
I like how all the fags on tfw2015 are losing their shit over this, acting like FT is a victim and they are going to end up going bankrupt.

FT lowered the price because the obviously had some wriggle room as they now their rabid fanboys will pay their prices regardless. They aren't the kind of company to sell things without a decent profit for each figure.

>>6362475

People never realize that the cost per unit on a lot of things is close to nothing. The biggest cost is usually designing it and the mold, which are usually disgustingly high expenses. However, given a lot of factories are apparently owned by the 3P owner it probably cuts the costs down to some degree, and lets face it: There isn't nearly $500 worth of plastic in any big 'bot like that. I'm sure they'll still make a healthy profit per figure.

>>6362475

>People/companies butthurt FT keeps undercutting people because muh ebil chink capitalist cutthroats
>DX9 does the exact same thing to FT
>MMC does the exact same thing with Trailbreaker

It's just the fucking free market at work. DX9 trying to out jew FT resulted in Terminus being 100 bucks cheaper. Consumers win.

>>6362527

I wish they'd do this with figures I actually wanted to buy, and not 2ft tall monstrosities of plastic that few people will have any sort of shelf space for.

>>6362252
Yes.

>>6361239
I recognize Iron Factory, Mech Planet and Music Label, but what's that on the left?

>>6362596

Some Not-Revoltechs that some company made, to go with the TF Revo's.
