Keldroc posted:I already mentioned the SDCC exclusive. Read the thread before you post. 100% this. At first I was a little dissappointed with the articulation. But when you think on what Hasbro is accomplishing here, a few missing points of articulation are very forgivable. And besides, Devastator looks to be quite poseable and most folks will likely display him in combined mode anyway. Shiftypenguin fucked around with this message at 05:51 on Feb 16, 2015 |

DisposableHero posted:Finally received and got to play with Combiner Wars Devs for a bit. I have to say the elbow situation actually doesn't bother me at all. The figures are so large the elbows don't have that flimsy feel the pictures gave them. The couple with no real elbows do bug me a little but it really feels like a minor gripe given the quality of the whole thing. I still prefer the look and detail of Green Giant but Hasbro Devs is super playable and fun to transform and combine. They will hang out on the shelf being giant green bros. This. I still plan on getting the PE upgrade set, but when I got Devs in hand I found the elbow situation to be less of an issue than I thought it would. These guys each have such great personality that one can overlook the occasional lack of articulation.

Sentinel Red posted:So instead of simply gazing adoringly at the various tat I have, I had a proper muckabout with some of them yesterday, transforming them for the first time in aaaaaaages and without referring to instructions. Ultra Magnus is just so goddamn clever, it's the amazing the way the cab panels form up and become almost a replica of MP10, in pure engineering terms he's a wonder. Though remembering what someone had said about snapping his crotchplate, I was very careful when moving it back and forth between positions. Got him and Hot Rod just hanging out together and they look so good. That is exactly why my Quakewave will never see gun mode again. When mine got stuck I was hoping there was a leg release a la MP-10. I thought "that would make sense", but no dice. The screwdriver was the only solution.

First time I've seen that happen, I'll give them their due for honesty. I had to go see this for myself. Jeez, the figure must be REALLY bad to warrant "buy at your own risk" statements. BBTS just mentions the type of plastic, but TF Source right out says the figure will probably break.

Why cookie Rocket posted:I'd settle for a decent place to store the tail in not mode but on the other hand he's AWESOME. I'm not trying to start some dumb fight if anyone is a huge fan of the FP headmasters but I straight up like these more. Not "for the price" even, I just plain like them more than the FP headmasters I've owned (Chromedome and Weirdwolf). Everything tabs together better, the sculpts seem sharper, the overall aesthetic is more appealing to me....yep. These are really great deluxes. I saw Scourge today at Target and he was an easy pass. Blurr, however, ended up being an insta-buy after originally not wanting him. He's amazing in person and his Titan Master head is unobtrusive enough to where from many angles his head isn't boxy (unlike Scourge). Got Hardhead and Skullmasher too and both are awesome as others have already said.

Blackheart posted:Is there any way so Skullsmasher can hold the tail as a shield? It kinda looks like one instead of a weird gun. The tiny hole on the bottom of the inner handle of the tail can peg on to the Titan Master stand on his forearm. However it's a tight fit and causes stressmarks on the bottom of that handle.

Secht posted:My Titan Returns Fort Max showed up yesterday. I think he's a big fat mess of meh to be honest. His legs are a pain in the rear end and feel very hollow. He's missing all the charm and little things that make the original so enjoyable. So much just feels wasted. This is exactly why I'm skipping him. To me he just feels too much like Metroplex is playing pretend dress up in a half baked Fort Max costume.

Dunno much about Kamen Rider, but got my TR Brainsorm today from Chosen Prime (figured the extra cost was worth not having to hunt for him 'cuz I don't have time for that). I really liked the Blurr version of the mold, but it works even better for Brainstorm. My only real complaint is the paint on the vehicle nose/Titan Master gun thingy is THICK and feels like something I handpainted (which I am pretty terrible at).

Captain Invictus posted:Yeah, in the last few pages they've been linked, they're like 15 bucks a set which isn't bad at all. The hands aren't the best since they don't have angle tilts for splaying the fingers sideways like the nonnef ones do, but they're not stupidly fat mitts like the nonnef ones either. I ordered a pair of the KO PE hands and feet for UW Computron to see if they were worth it to get for the other guys... They totally are. I was pleasently surprised at the quality for a KO of a third party release.

Lego's Black Friday stuff was crap too, just 20% off stuff in the sales and deals section for the most part. There was the $90 Masterpiece Shockwave at Toy Dojo. Almost got him, but since I'm perfectly happy with Quakewave, I passed. I did finally break down and order the $90 Fort Max. I figured he won't go much lower than that.

I keep buying TFs but I don't end up catching the dragon as often as I used to. :/ I was thinking the same thing. While I certainly look forward to Beachcomber and Dreadwing, the others feel very meh to me.

His car mode looks excellent and tabs together well without goofy panel gaps or other things that would ruin it, and his robot mode (and head) have a lot of really nice paint that bring out the even nicer sculpted details. Hands down the best toy in the TLK line (and there were some others I liked a lot as well). Cogman is the only TLK figure I actually want. Did you happen to find him in the wild or did you get him online?

Hey Xenomrph, thank you for the tip on that eBay Cogman seller. Mine arrived today, way earlier than expected, and he is perfect. Cogman has got to be one of my top five fave figures of the last year. He's got a fun transformation, decent paint apps, and tons of little details all over him. Plus, he can sit TWO Titan Masters in his altmode.

Mine should be here Wednesday. It was my first time ordering from Amazon Japan and I am very impressed with the price savings and speed of shipping. Anywho, while the breakage thing might be isolated, the first transformation of ol' Megs will still be done very carefully.

We exacerbated it with the omni dub sure but I have a feeling that bad dubbing was the only thing keeping us sane. Yeah, iirc it's a bunch of warmed over unused stories from the American run that were filtered through Japan. I always thought it weird that Arcee goes from Frontline fighter to secretary. Also the Autobot monsterbots are clowns.

So my MP-49 Nemesis Prime arrived from Amazon Japan today. It's my first experience with the mold and... Holy hell was that transformation unfun. Like, it was WORK. I dig what they're trying to do and my hat is off to them for what they accomplished, but I am almost wholly turned off to Masterpiece Transformers because of that transformation. That and the price, but with that transformation I see why they're expensive now. (I only bought MP-49 because I collect Nemesis Primes.) Edit: on the flip side, my Sky Lynx and Scorponok also arrived today. Both are fantastic. Scorpy is a BIG boy and very solid. Sky Lynx is a ton of fun to mess around with and he has a TON of personality. Shiftypenguin fucked around with this message at 23:56 on Jul 29, 2020 |
