I'll just wait for the POTP Seacons. I'm done with TFC.

>>6474004
Hasbro's MO for a while now has been to release the repaint first. People who just want it for the new toy will bite, and maybe double dip when the "intended" use of the mold comes out. I'm kind of surprised third parties are only starting to do it now.

I've got enough primes to last a goddamned lifetime and I'm always down for a nemesis version though, so I'm probably down.

>>6474030
shit, i'm buying it. Just give me the release date.

any word yet on a Trypticon upgrade kit?

>>6474078
It just released so ya need to give it a while. What you do want "upgraded" anyway?

>>6474078

None yet. A lot of 3P's have moved away from the whole upgrade/optional part thing. It's really only PE and at most 2 or 3 other groups doing stuff, and their releases are few and far between. It's not like CW where there was a new hand/foot set every other week and various upgrade plates and guns and whatever.

>>6474086
hips mostly, but I like what DNA did with theirs for fortmax and metro, helipads extra guns etc.

How are the Unique Toys combaticons?

>>6474110
first two seem pretty solid from in hand reports. Now they just have to try and keep that up with the other three and deliver a stable bruticus.

Is new stuff ever announced at TFNation?

>>6474351

I don't have an answer to your question, but your situation is pretty common with a lot of 3P stuff. Unless something is complete garbage, it tends to be gone pretty fast. Only garbage tends to stick around (and thats why you see the same shit every time any site has a "sale").

>>6474427

wotafa reviewed it just today. That must mean it's out, right? Or does he get advance copies of stuff?

>>6474431
>It is out

Naa, I think PE is given early releases to youtuber for reviews.
The earliest one I saw is from the cube guy from japan.
And there is another guy that lives in Southern Taiwan that also got his hand on the figure last week. (I am in Nothern Taiwan)

Now you got wotafa and I still have not heard a thing about the figures start being shipped.

>>6474414
I like SXS colour choices more even if it is inaccurate.

>>6474414

>>6474435
Maybe some Japanese guys got theirs early? I just saw that there's already a Jinrai Prime for sale on Mandarake.

I wish the collector scene had sugar daddies that I can blow for toys.

>>6474472

Poorfag here, the only real way to afford stuff is to budget. Don't impulse buy, ever. Map out your bills, your food bills, cut out extra shit (don't eat out, etc), and then just save your extra cash for things you really want.

>>6474435
>>6474457
All dealers in Singapore got their shipment of it, I can tell you that.

Tf source, BBTS, The chosen prime, etc.

Goes by "Re-Tyrant"

>>6474004
Peaugh let himself go.

Also, when is someone going to do an actually accurate God Ginrai/PMOP? Thunder Manus is very stylised, and the other one is just an ugly mess which they've still only marginally improved.

>>6474007
I'm pretty much done with TFC too, but their Seasons are meant to be great. They look really nice but I'm not into their aesthetic personally, so I'm not going to get them. That, and they cost a lot.

>>6474154
No idea but we're going to be seeing the changes to Fans Hobby's PMOP there.

>>6474299
>repaint comes with the head
>regular version costs extra for the head
Fuck Perfect Effect's nickel-and-diming bullshit schemes.

>>6474431
Wotafa definitely gets review copies.

>>6474559
>>6474561
It's a shame we can't combine the aesthetics of the GCreation figures with the engineering and not-as-fiddly-bullshitness of Generation Toys.

>>6474616
Takara has taught me that trying to get the perfect modes correct at the same time will result in a gappy travesty or a fiddly nightmare.

There must be compromise somewhere. GT is making the toys look 15% less high speed so they can actually be playable toys.

>>6474619
Eh, it's doable, they're just... not doing it.

>>6474305
>>6474292
>>6474299
How long until the 4th party KO release?

>>6474633
Not soon enough.

At least it'll probably include everything in the box.

>>6474292
That looks sharp as hell. I might get that even though I'll never get the black PM Prime body.

I really like those orange/gold ToyWorld base pieces. Which of their figures actually come with them, and is there any way to get them separately?

I want a whole lot but I'm not sure how many I can get without doubling up on figures (and that's assuming I bought all the figures that come with them).

Looks like HTS sold out a while ago. I remember people were pissed when the news came out, so you my have to pay the ebay tax.

That or hope Takara does a Nucleon Quest repaint of their Super Ginrai.

Fuck, I really like the Planet X Starscream in Acid colors. Was going to avoid it initially but something about that color palette just tickles my fancy. Anyone able to dissuade me with a negative review of the Mors line? I heard the early ones were fucky in the hips, but that it got better with the recolors.

>>6474735
Check again on 8/14. That was the original date it was to be available on HTS. They might just have the listing up but not available yet.

Just got notice from Fans Hobby for Flypro being shipped out. Gonna need to find a display solution for these three bigguns.

>>6474559
You guys think this Megs would look good with Striker Manus?

>>6474967
He would dwarf manus. That nigga is pushing ten inches.

>>6474732

You can supposedly buy them separately.

>GC's looks perfect but is a fragile mess

All we need is someone to slim up the GT version a bit and it'd be good. He's way too fat.

The smokestacks hanging off his tits really bother me. He looks good otherwise.

>>6475110
>>6475127
I think it's a neat new aesthetic. Not appealing to m

>>6475154

I do feel like he's kind of a wasted effort though. Why spend...Shit, how much does PMP with upgrades cost now? $90 for the "correct" version plus what, around $30-50 per upgrade, and theres at least 2 sets? So anywhere from $150 to over $200 mighty American Freedomerica Eagledollars for a $45 Leader figure when theres at least 2 3P PMP's in the works that look amazing, AND will have articulation and engineering to justify their price tags?

Some people are just impatient.

>>6474351
It's not worth it. I bought one and the belt is absolute ass, made to strap on in the most difficult way possible.

>>6475174
I never had interest in power up Prime, but for a cheap 3p Voyager Prime, $45 is awesome. PE also has a great track record.

I've been tempted on this guy but I just don't need it

>>6474472
HTS only ships to within the US doesn't it?

>>6475320
I think they also ship to Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico.

>>6475110
I hope someone else eventually does their own regular Ginrai., since that one doesn't appeal to me, and you need another upgrade kit for it to work with Super Ginrai.

>>6475320
Meant to reply to >>6474735

>>6475321
Heck. Welp I guess I'm paying ebay tax then.

>>6475199
Yeah, I don't care about PMOP, I just want this guy a standalone Optimus. I really dig the aesthetic and personally love the pipes on the front.

>>6475321

Two of those are the US, and the last is damn near the 51st state but keeps turning down the vote for statehood because they'd lose an assload of money by becoming a state.

>>6475325
Yeah, but most places normally ship within the US, leaving out Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico.

>>6475743
This annoys me so so much. I just bought this and now they have a new head.

>>6475535
that is essentially the PMOP/Ginrai G1 Incarnation just with more updated detailing.

>>6475746
I'd rather just an upgrade kit for the Voyager to include the head gimmick. And maybe a trans red sword.

I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised by this guy. The quality is leaps and bounds over constructor bots so far. Yes the kibble is a bit obnoxious but, doesn't look that bad in hand. Also the pay off of having nice clean alt and arm modes is worth it. Transformation isn't too complex nor overly simple. Only frustrating part is trying to get things to line up the first go around but I can see it getting easier.

If zeta can continue this quality with the rest of the combaticons and their upcoming aerialbots I see a bright future for them.

So I've wandering through AliExpress this morning and I have notes and questions.

Does the voyager KO Megatron have any upgrades?

The first link is just a KO voyager sized mold. It doesn't seem to have any changes except more paint apps, more in line with the leader paint I think.

The second is a Oversived KO version of the same mold. (I'm glad they chose to move along with the voyager mold, not a big fan of the leader)

They look like they are made by different companies though. The Oversized one Is Wei Jang and they included diecast pieces and are coming out with a 3rd release version with a helmet gimmick and improved engineering with I think the hands and maybe something else.

I'm definitely feeling Rioter and Striker, they look amazing, especially Striker Noir with his weapons.

I still can't choose between Despotron and the TT Megatron. MP-36 extreme cartoon accuracy is both a good and bad thing in my opinion. I might wait for an Optimus v.3 because so far MP-36 and MP-10 they just dont look that good together where Despotron works better with MP-10, in my opinion.

Fuck.

>>6477223
TT megs is good but you really don't want to transform him due to very easy paint chipping.

Desp is much more cohesive looking but has a less accurate gun and bot mode. Desp is also more solid and has less poor tolerances/scary transformation steps. Desp is also around 100 bucks cheaper but has less accessories.

It depends on how much 200-230 USD is to you. I'd say megs is worth it if you're okay with not transforming him ever.

Say goodbye to 3P transformers anons, WW3 is going to fuck all that up.

>>6477517
>In unrelated news what are the fragile bits on this guy?

I've taken the liberty of circling the problem area. And before you think I'm trolling, I'm not. He's fragile as fuck because he's basically a bunch of floating panels on a plastic skeleton made of little rods. He looks great but thats it. Should've gotten the GT one.

>>6477525
I've pretty much only shopped TFS and from what I've seen, they've always been quick to ship what was in stock. The only time they aren't is because, by default, they will take your orders as they are when you place them and won't ship until all items are in stock. If something is in stock (and not from their "vintage" warehouse) and is in the same order as a preorder item, they won't ship it until the preorder item is also in stock. You can always email them later and ask them to split the order but that's how they operate.

HOWEVER, they do tend to take a bit longer to actually GET the items in stock. As an example, they were one of the last sites to get Grinder in stock after he released.

But yeah, BBTS is more notoriously slow from literally every shopping experience I've had with them. Slow to get the items and then slow to ship them. I don't get where the TFS hate meme came from though. Their customer service has always been great as well and quick to ship replacement/missing parts whenever I needed them and for free to boot. I like 'em, personally.

>>6477556
>I don't get where the TFS hate meme came from though

Never used TFS myself, but the reason I haven't is because I've seen a lot of people complaining they list items as in stock when they're not actually in stock to secure orders, and then taking longer to ACTUALLY get things in stock than other places, plus apparently exceptionally slow shipping at times, especially around any sort of holiday.

BBTS is just kinda slow in general but they're usually the guys with everything in stock when others have long since run out.

Never tried TCP but they're supposedly good.

I use toydojo a lot, they're super fucking quick. Every order I've placed with them has gone out same day unless it's a preorder item (or has a preorder item grouped with it). Downside is they're a VERY small store so carry really limited stock, I've noticed.

>>6477517

>>6477577
>they list items as in stock when they're not actually in stock
Hasn't happened to anything I've ordered before so I dunno what to tell ya. Honestly, I think a lot of people just don't realize that they have something on preorder in the same order because like I said, they won't ship until all items are in stock OR you email them and ask them to split the order.

>especially around any sort of holiday
well no shit. Everybody has to deal with this.

>>6477549
Not that anon, but darn. It's not often that there is a Don designed Prime that looks like what he drew.

>>6477583
>well no shit. Everybody has to deal with this.

Oddly enough, despite BBTS' usual slowness, I've always had them get my shit out pretty quick around the holidays.

Open mouth facesculpts always turn on so off-putting, it's always safer just to have it be a neutral face, or come with face swaps.

My "favorite" is CW Menasor's face. I think it's supposed to be some sort of angry scowl but in reality it looks more like an expression of offended disgust

Smirking sculpts are usually good though. Look at Overboard and his shiteating grin. It's perfect. Of course, he's a mainline thing. For 3P, I really like Despotron's smirking face (hell, all of his faces), and I do like the MT Jazz's faces. And of course MMC's Overlord.

I really wanna see the sales figures on the MPs since they've gone full-retard on cartoon pandering. Like, a lot of people obviously bought Megatron because he's fucking Megatron, but I feel like when we get back to ho-hum characters like Sunstreaker, they're alienating more buyers than not. I mean, were there any geewunners who weren't buying the MP line beforehand? I really can't see how this change in aesthetic could garner them extra sales, but going by the complaints I've heard in this thread and the official /tfg/ threads, it seems like a LOT of people have no interest in Sunbowstreaker, here.

>>6477084
Jesus he looks great. A much better match with MP-10, that's for sure. I wish 3Ps were more into shameless repaints, I would love to get him as Marvel Megatron.

But there was also a lot of praise. They weren't really silent at all.

I've heard like, zero kind words about Sunstreaker. And mostly negative about Megatron, especially once people got him in hand. People just bought him because he's Megatron, it's a figure they were waiting 10 years for.

Honestly that's what I've grown to hate about a lot of these 3rd party figures. People can talk all the shit they want about CW Prime, but at least I know he's a solid mother fucker.

Again, this is a pretty as fuck Prime and alt mode, but yeah... The mess of panels just stresses me out.

>>6477806
You are seeing a lot of negativity from western fans who hate the cartoon and/or only care about good toys, and not representations of childhood favorites.

In Japan an anime accurate MP will probably do pretty well since the show IS Transformers there more so then here.

I had no issues with previous MPs, but as a primarily media fan I am loving this increased accuracy to something I actually care about.

>>6477900

A ton of 3P figures are rock solid though. It's just that one isn't. The GT IDW Optimus is pretty solid.

>>6477549
>he's basically a bunch of floating panels on a plastic skeleton made of little rods.

Maybe because I'm a degenerate, but seeing his transformation, plus that description makes me want him more, it really captures the insanely complex nature of transforming that most toys, and sometimes animation models, could never achieve. Plus I like the gangly ass rabbit eared design

>>6477955
>GT IDW Optimus
Gonna look for a video review, if he's not panelforming heavy I'd consider him. I've only bought a small number of third party things because I'm a poor fag.

>>6477962

Oh, it's cool engineering, yeah. But it's also way too complex and fragile as a motherfucker. They probably could've done it simpler than they did and still achieve a good looking result that was pretty accurate.

>>6477806
I'm pretty sure they're doing fine. Megatron sold out almost immediately and apparently despite his flaws there was still enough demand for him to warrant a re-release, and last I checked Sunstreaker was pre-sold out on HLJ and AmiAmi, but that might've changed. I think they know what they're doing. Sure Americans don't seem to like these toys, but the Japanese must love them, and that's all Takara cares about.

Finally picked up Contact shot. Holy shit. He is severely under-rated and under talked about.

I just hope they're doing well. They chose something extremely niche (Monsterbots? For a first try? You got balls guys, fuck yes I love these bots but does anyone else?

And they seem to be listening to feedback, and all of the sort of shit you'd expect from a good company so far.

That's honestly my biggest issue with the set. Every other representation had the cab significantly bigger and making up the bulk of the chest. In MT's case, they made the cab a legends-sized figure, thus giving a smaller vehicle, smaller robot, and it's barely ab-sized when forming the chest. Basically, it's too tiny and doesn't appropriately scale with anything unless you want to fudge it into your Legend collection but he'll be super huge in PMOP mode comparatively.

>>6478518
Isn't PMOP proper fucking hueg compared to other similar bots?

>>6478464
>>Some people still prefere the official one
I don't believe you.

>>6478522
Maybe? It's been a while since I've seen the scale for it so maybe he will scale perfectly with Legend collections. Still, my point is that with the cab and actual robot being so tiny, Legends is the only scale this thing properly fits into to any extent. I don't really collect Legends too heavily so that is enough to turn me off. It looks cool but not something I need.

>>6478317
Well in the first five minutes he hamhanded the figure twice. Throughout the transformation he kept having trouble due to hams for hands and transforming it on camera so he could not get a good look at areas he needed to. Many of the viewers are probably blaming the toy for that and not him.

>>6478522

God Ginrai (ie: PMP with the Godbomber) is combiner sized in the lore. He's about the size of Star Saber, who is about the size of Liokaiser. So he's pretty fucking massive. Star Saber with his lion buddy is a bit bigger than even that.

So yeah they should tower over regular sized 'bots. Remember, Optimus only goes up to like, Devy's knee.

>>6478464
CW Shockwave has better arm articulation and better knees. That's about it though.

Still, if anyone calls CW Shockwave better than Bridge Watcher it's 100% them either not wanting to replace their toys or them not wanting to buy 3P.

Looks like he doesn't have wheels on the legs, seems they didn't try and salvage the semi-abandoned vehicle mode from the original toy

>>6477744
Speaking of that guy, did beast Gorira end up any good?

Aside from the endless blind praise all I heard was he had wobbly hips or something

>>6478719

Lose waist swivel. Loose thigh swivels too but it hardly matters with how sturdy his hips are.

>>6478708
I'm not entirely sure about that. His heels still seem to have something round on them which would match up with where the small wheels were. Plus, his larger wheels were behind his knee-caps on his upper thighs so it's possible they're just hidden in the shot PE posted. He still has something hanging off of his legs around where the wheels would be so who knows.

They certainly seem to be taking far more liberties with Megs than they did with Optimal Optimus though as far as screen/original figure accuracy goes. The legs and wings in particular are totally different.

>>6478664
At like 1/4 the price, CW Soundwave shouldn't really have better ANYTHING, but it does. At that kind of price difference, I can easily see people preferring the cheaper one. Bridge watcher might be better, but not 30 dollars better. I've heard the same sentiment about the iron factory seekers.

>>6478719
>loose waist
>loose thigh swivels
>needs a toe joint and balljointed knuckles
>arms don't lock down in truck mode

But I'm nitpicking. Otherwise it's a solid figure and fun to mess with. The foot transformation is genius, btw.

>>6478820
>detail in the shoulder circles prevent use of proper-sized Maximal stickers or 3D printed caps

That's honestly the most aggravating thing about beast gorira to me. It's like perfect effect deliberately designed his shoulder's to make putting faction stickers on them as difficult as possible.

>>6478447
Blue tack on bottom of foot helps with uneven terrain

>>6478814

Bridge Watcher is $24 though. It's twice the price of the CW figure sure, but it's not $40 like other IF stuff.

It honestly baffles me how all of these PMOPs need to end up covered with so many visible panels, seem lines and transformation joints in alt mode. We've seen plenty of Primes at every scale that don't end up this messy and it's not like the ability to slot into the armor needs a lot of extra engineering. it's pretty much just alt mode with the legs folded up, so why is this so tough for them to pull off?

Perfect Effect seems to have the best effort so far and it's still not perfect thanks to those visible ball joints in alt mode but it's still better than FH or MT's offerings. It's just a shame that it only works with the official toys.

Anon here who got the Bridge Watcher that had thigh swivels so tight they wouldn't turn and I returned it and TFSource sent me a new one, but this one had globs of grease in the hip ball joints. The instructions and extra hand pieces were also IN FRONT of the figure in the package and Shockwave was facing the back. One thigh swivel can be turned now but the other is still unusable.

I was shopping for birthday presents for my son. Not finding any official stuff voyagers appealing I stumbled over this. Hadn't seen any reviews besides Bobby skull face saying he did the box art

>>6480070

There is a review for it out there, I saw it. Don't remember by who though. It didn't look very good.

>>6479679
No you wash them because of mold release agent which is a greasy substance they spray in the mold before producing the part so it comes out of the mold easier. They dont purposly grease up figures for articulation purposes.

>>6480171
You shouldn't try to correct someone when you don't know what you're talking about.

>>6479325
Hands are in the mail, and these sound like issues I can fix as they arise so it might be worth it -- I don't move him much, just his arms and hands. Thanks for the tips anon

>>6480070
>Those arms and paint aps.
Didn't knew Impossible Toys was back on the game.

>>6480181
You should take your own advice.

>>6480070
The paint looks like hot ass but the altmode is badass.

>>6479679
>Every toy ever is greased up at the factory.
This was like vaseline though, and since the first one I got didn't have that I thought it was a bit odd.

>>6479858
what even is this

>>6477900
>Perfect Effect

Isn't this the company that made that cool looking, but completely shit in every other aspect Leonidas?

>>6480304
X2 Toys Skyfire, I think.

>>6480308
Yes.

How much do you reckon i could hock a microblaze + SDCC foc bruticus for? I paid $300 for it last year because i was desperate and it was the only one on the market, do you reckon some other fool would be willing to go that high?
I still adore his aesthetic but $200-250 can get so much more playability from 2 planet x releases.

>>6480308
Shhhh, they are the bestest company now that they released so much toy DLC for Powerpuff Jinrai and the amazing Gorira!

>>6480308
Yeah but they've been putting out some better things lately.

>>6480308
The Gorira they have is nearly perfect for me.

>>6480477
I like mine a lot but damn does the floppy thigh swivel bug the piss out of me. Same with the forearms, which are gonna become obvious when you put those mini-monkeys in his hands.

>>6480487

damn dude, mine is tight as all hell. Like literally no complaints.

>>6480487
I don't think it is. Try to make him lift his leg and bend it like he's peeing like a dog, it'll flop down into a kicking pose.

>>6480521

well i'll be damned, you're right. I guess I haven't tried to put him in a pose with that.

>>6475174
Three upgrade sets now, anon. Fucking THREE.

>>6478986
This so much. PMOP/God Ginrai shouldn't be hard to do, but no one is getting it right. Fans Hobby can't seem to get the trailer right, either - it's not tall enough and it sits waaay too far back.

MakeToys has gone for a very stylised design and theirs is also quite small. Which is fine, but it's not really a Masterpiece-style God Ginrai, is it now?

>>6480070
There are a bunch of reviews out there already, anon. Learn to search.

I've heard there are some loose-ish joints but it's generally fine. MAAS Toys seem to have good customer service, and while this is arguably a bit pricey for a Deluxe-sized toy, it's something I personally really want to get.

Also, the hips are colour-matched properly on the final product. The one in your picture is a testshot.

>>6480462
I would agree with you if you stopped trying to make "Powerpuff Jinrai" a thing. Fucking hell anon, it's time to stop. You need some help.

All this talk of PE's Beast Gorira...
I honestly just don't want to touch it when most people are touching themselves over it and anyone being actually objective are like "hey, there are some parts that don't tab in anywhere, and it has some loose joints".

Combined, those two responses just make me never want to buy it. I'd love a new Optimal Optimus but I'd rather just wait a decade for a new one if I have to at this point.

>>6480675
>MakeToys has gone for a very stylised design and theirs is also quite small. Which is fine, but it's not really a Masterpiece-style God Ginrai, is it now?

To be fair, the MT one is also in their Cross Dimension line.

>>6480698
Oh, definitely, but that was my point - I'm totally fine that they went that route but it's part of their Cross Dimension line, so it wasn't meant to be a Masterpiece-style God Ginrai to begin with, and so our only options currently are Fans Hobby or Perfect Effect + Hasbro PMOP/TT God Ginrai.

>>6480206
Disregard paint comment, did not see final product.

>>6479507
Never had IF stuff greased in box before, i think they gave a preowned copy.
Sounds like an idiot tried to "fix" the tightness problem but coudn't and decided to return it

>>6479203
>but this one had globs of grease in the hip ball joints

Seriously? That's like the one joint on him besides the neck that isn't tight

Sirtoys has optimus prime and bumble bee colors...

if you want non megatron characters, browning is a good choice... otherwise... why not a sci-fi paint job? use some nerf parts if you want.

>>6480003

>>6480202
Not at all. Go educate yourself.
>>6480281
Don't know where it came from then, the grease used for toy doesn't look like vaseline at all.

>>6481178
You've already been told about mould release grease, and you've already been informed multiple times that the anon with the problem had non-mould release grease on his figure. We're talking about two different types of grease, and you apparently don't seem to know anything about either of them, so just stop trying to be a know-it-all when you've already been one-upped multiple times now.

t. another anon who has been watching you causing a moronic shitstorm this whole time.

>>6481178
>>6480171 was right about the mould release agent. What are you even arguing about? That anon literally just summed up what the stuff is and how it works, and why it's not the problem with the first anon's Bridge Watcher.

>>6479203 and >>6480281 made it clear it wasn't a mould release agent, so obviously it had to be something else from the beginning.

What do people think about the MP-style Bruticus options out there?

I'm starting to really like the Unique Toys offering. Their Brawl and Swindle look really good. I wish they were a bit bigger, but still.

There aren't many video reviews up yet though, but if you search them out, you can ignore "Ome9asupreme". Never seen this guy's videos before but I've just watched both his videos on these guys and they're TERRIBLE. I swear he hasn't even played with these toys once before reviewing them. It's 10 minutes of idiocy and fumbling, and a few minutes more of pointless rambling.

Would MMC Commotus fit in a Masterpiece-scale display? Eyeing to get one simply because it appears to fulfill a "badass black tank" quota that I didn't know I had, but I can't find precise size info on it.

Yellow giant is 200 at tfs

>>6481140

What Galvatron is that?

>>6481279

It's Voyager to slightly large Voyager sized, that pretty much all the MMC products are.

>>6481312
Just saw that. If I didn't already have gravity builder i'd be all over it

>>6481338
I guess I can live with that size, given that his altmode is clearly a homage to the Metal Slug mini-tank. Thanks for the info.

>>6481239
>>6481237
If you can't follow a simple conversation, don't bother trying to participate.
>>6480171 said toys weren't greased up except for the mold release grease which is wrong. Every factories producing plastic toys with moving parts uses at least two type of grease, on isn't even a real grease, it's the mold release agent that helps detaching the parts easily from the mold AND THERE'S ANOTHER ONE that's sprayed on the toy for lubrication purpose. Since neither >>6480171 or >>6479203 knew about it, there was no way for them to know what it looks like.

>>6481312
Don't tell me this. I was close to considering it buying from Maketoys themselves at $350, weighing against Quantron at $235 (being shipping inclusive). I have Flypro coming today, and the only other Devastator I'll have is the tiny $40 TFC HerQules that I ordered from BBTS.

I probably have serious problems.

>>6478464
I have CW Shockwave and love him but Bridge Watcher looks amazing.

>AND THERE'S ANOTHER ONE that's sprayed on the toy for lubrication purpose
I9 have never once heard about this or come across it being mentioned before ever and all the Iron Factory toys I've ever gotten have arrived completely dry with joints that had zero lubrication of any kind. If there really is some kind of lubricant applied at the factories do you mind at least explaining how you know this and what it looks like so we ALL know for the future?

>>6481374
>KFC

Bingo.

>>6481312
I'm really not sure if I want to grab him or wait for the yellow Gravity Builder

>>6481380
I've been working with factories producing plastic items for 8 years now. I've visited at least 20, most of them do produce toys at least from times to times (a lot of factories aren't owned by the brand owning the product, they simple produce what they're asked to in each contract they get) and all of them use lubrication on finished product. Even if you don't "feel" the lubricant doesn't mean it's not their. In fact, if there was absolutely no lubricant, your figures would squeek like crazy even if the mold releasing agent was used.

>>6481436
Ok well I believe you now at least but can you please explain how we can identfy it or know it when we see it?

>3P puts out REALLY GOOD FIGURE
>literally who Starscream variant of an unpopular series instead of something that people would actually buy

Man, I hate it when companies do this. Imagine if all of that talent, money, and time in making such a good figure went into a better MP Starscream. Instead we got this excellent fucking figure from a shit series, and...An MP Starscream with half hollow wings. Thanks, MT, you fuckfaces.

>>6481740
I'll buy it. We have enough iterations of G1 shit to satiate sperglords, give us interesting designs that haven't had high quality figures yet.

>>6481747

But we haven't ever gotten a good MP 'Scream. The officials have been universally trash and there hasn't been a single good 3P one either.

>>6481747
except these are still characters that are derivative of their g1 counterparts especially starscream. how about more original characters like Demolishor, Overload, Landmine, Snowcat, Override, Evac and Thunderblast.

>>6481740
I really like it when they do this because they're just making good toys. That's the point.

I do wish he was smaller though

>>6481740

Honestly their MP Starscream appears to have pretty much the same level of incredible effort applied to it. Like for both they figured out how to get an ab crunch and waist swivel into designs that any other company would have just given up on. I don't know what people's fucking problem is with the back of the wings, I'm literally autistic and I don't even care about that lmao. I honestly didn't know that was a sort of thing anyone would ever care about at all until people started freaking out about it on TFW. It barely looks any different from if they had filler pieces. Personally it's one of my most anticipated 3P figures ever, seems like a basically perfect G1 Starscream to me.

Why buy Giant in this day and age though? Gravity Builder is pretty much the current king of Devy's. And it has that yellow version coming up if you really wanted a yellow Devy.

Not him, but I honestly just like the Maketoys style. They look like fun figures in their own right. Dump Truck especially just looks like a badass bruiser even if he isn't accurate to anything. I just like figures that are articulated, have a nice aesthetic, and won't be replaced by another company attempting the same thing like with MP toys.

If course, I may just have shit taste since I have UW Devastator and TFC Perseus and love both of them for what they are.

As if G1 isn't an equally shit series but we still get a disgusting amount of G1 figures, third party and official.
Transformers is full of the absolute shittiest fiction, all of the shitty series need their go at having good toys.

Those are some DAMN spacious shelves. Nice, Anon. I wish my shitty, tiny, cramped apartment at least let us put up some fucking shelving or something. I'm stuck with cramped book cases.

>>6481980

I pose all of my stuff on my book shelves except for two layers. Those layers are my "fiddling" layers, of figures I pull down often enough to mess with that I don't bother putting them in poses on the shelves because all I'd do is knock down others when removing them. I'd take a picture, but the lighting is way too shit in here to actually get any sort of good picture.

Do people not do this?

So Maketoys is the king of Articulation now I guess.

>>6482234
haven't they always been?

>>6482238
They've had some decent articulation in the past but lately they have been knocking it out of the fucking park with Cross Dimension and now both Meteor molds.

Far above and beyond the articulation I got out of the individual Green Giant bots or Gentoo

>>6482233
Nah. Most people are just autistic competitions who want every character from their childhood cartoons to check them off a list and stand them on a tiny shelf, shoulder-to-shoulder in brick-like poses for maximum packing efficiency.

>>6481374
Floppy, arm joints will not hold that pose without glue, and if you do glue it, the joints are likely to tighten too far and shear off... No heels, flimsy toes, bad color layout, can not hold any 5mm weaponry, and forget about swords.

>>6481980

What makes the shelf-ster-fuck meme the default for transfags? G1?

>>6482359

I'm gonna assume it stems from Transformers collections usually being both 1: Insanely fucking huge because it's an old-ass toy line with a million characters from A-listers to Z-listers, and 2: There being so much shit hanging off the average TF toy, even 3P ones, that, combined with the numerous nature of most TF collections, makes it a nightmare to pose any of them due to all of the shit sticking out from them at odd angles, because moving one bit on a shelf will knock over another 5 if your shelves are crowded to the hilt.

>>6482359
I don't see my shelves as a display so much as I see them as storage.

Like 99% of my stuff is in the most boring and compact A-stances because it just takes the least space.
