Disco De Soto posted:Ok next topic for discussion: Ultra Magnus figures. He's my sons favourite so I'm thinking either the Hasbro or Takara. Any issues to watch out for? I own three leaders and he's the only one I feel really justifies his leader-ness, but mine did have loose arm pylons that needed a little pledge floor polish. I don't think that was a regular issue.

You can get a KFC Citizen Stack for like $65, a decent Magnus stand in.

I was going to suggest the Masterpiece which is awesome but expensive and probably not a good idea for a child... After that I'd have to say Takara CW Ultra Magnus, because I like the colors better than Hasbro. However, you can get the Hasbro one for ~$45 right now. After that you get into some weird options from Prime that I can't really recommend, though the Weaponizer Ultra Magnus (Platinum Edition) is kind of fun (seen here):  e: or KFC's version as mentioned above TheDK fucked around with this message at 14:54 on Oct 25, 2017 |

The Magnus in the Autobot Heroes set has more Takara-ish colours and Ambus but you'd have to buy it loose or buy the whole set

Stack is very good and got a bizarre unfair rap for reasons I don’t understand. I based it on price and for the $75 or whatever I paid at the time it was no contest. His neck joint is weird but otherwise he's solid.

 One year later they actually talk about this thing again. Kinda wonder if Iron Factory is going to preview all their upcoming stuff for next like they did last year.

There's a 20% off code (NEW17) at Hasbro Toy Store now. Trypticon is eligible but unfortunately out of stock. I guess you can still use it for TR Blitzwing and TLK leader Megs. Grotusque and Arcee are also gone from HTS now. Argh!

Knormal posted:Orion is so weird to me, because most of the bot looks great, then they hosed up the chest so hard. I don't even know what they were going, it doesn't look like any Optimus or any real world truck, it just looks off in both modes. I dunno, it's not too far off from the weird chest Optimus had in the comics after AHM. The newer bots do the job better but this guy scales just right with the new MMC Megatron. Also the price was nuts considering when I was last looking for him he topped $125 on average.

Always trust Rhyno. Anyone want a MP Starscream with a incorrect leg flap? $100 and shipping.   Wrong flap doesn't hinder transformation.

We've come to accept it, but I wonder what it'd look like on a human to have legs like a transformer where the calves swell up and at the bottom, the foot has the heel and the toes as far apart as their hand and elbow.

Looks like it's the crotch flap over the left (right in the photo) thigh. That would bug the poo poo out of me, sorry for your loss.

Frankly I'm surprised they haven't made Titan Masters of alternate Blitzwing faces, given that they kept the multi-face gimmick for Generations for kinda no reason. Seemed like they wanted to make it Blitzwing's "deal".
