What's your opinion on Mania King?

I love the look but the scale is off for me. If he was the same size as MP09 it would be an instabuy...
*
pretty decent figure, but with its share of pros and cons

pros:
- being the only G1 faithful galvatron figure in the market now (with the exception of vintage G1 figures), mania king fills the gap for those who want a galvatron in their collection
- transformation is complex enough to be interesting, but you probably need to watch youtube videos of the transformation if the instructions are not clear enough for you
- very nice cannon mode
- comes with lights! mine is the laser pointer version
- decent enough plastic quality, with some really sharp edges
- ratchet joints for the shoulders which gives stability to the arms. probably a good thing since you have the cannon attachment which would probably be heavy if and reduce poseability of the arms without the ratchet joints

cons:
- due to the way the forearms transform and the lack of wrist articulation, the arms only pivot sideways giving galvatron monkey arms
- lack of ratchet joints in the legs reduces stability slightly, but not enough to make the figure unstable. he is still very poseable.
- the size. this figure is as tall as henkei prime, meaning if you put him next to MP rodimus, mania king is short. but as a standalone voyager sized figure, he's pretty nice.

Thats Perfect Effect PE-12 Assault Force X.

Should be around RM300 but they are really tiny though. The engineering is pretty damn amazing though.

I never bought a third party so at the moment it is either Maketoy's Chaos/Paladin or PE's Assault Force X as my first purchase to third party. I think it is better to get something slightly cheaper than buying a third party RM500+ figurine outright.
*
To me, Assault Force is better if I have to choose between the two.

But there are other third party figures out there which are better than these two. For example, fanproject's function series

QUOTE(Cheesenium @ Aug 5 2014, 10:26 AM)
How much was shipping though?

I dont really trust poslaju in delivering the product without destroying it though. I rather find a store and buy straight from them.

Famitoy said they are stocking both Assault Force and Warden but till now, they still dont have stock.
*
robotkingdom's packaging is quite solid, they will use styrofoam to pad the insides of the carton, so your items should be quite safe.

as for the shipping, you can see the shipping quote before you place the order.

QUOTE(HxiiiK @ Aug 5 2014, 09:57 AM)
Is this even 3rd party? shocking.gif that is surprisingly cheap.. i thought it would run up to 80 or 90usd (from the pattern of 3rd parties now) tongue.gif
*
it's usd45 just for the add-on leh...which i find to be quite expensive

USD45 you can get a hasbro voyager leh

Assault Force is cool because I dont think any other third party does Reflector. And the engineering is pretty cool. My only problem is the size which is damn small.

Coming from diecast collector background, I do appreicate the extra polish PE does for their transformers.
What would you recommend from Fans Project? What is the Function series known for?

I am not too keen of combiners or really expensive ones.
Ah, maybe i'll give robotkingdom a shot.

The website has quite a few broken links though.

fansproject function series is their take on the G1 Headmasters.

Just when I made up my mind for Assault Force X, then, I saw this:

God damn it, why does this keep happening to me? Preorder up at x2o toys for RM330.

I know a lot of collectors recommended Fans Project, would you think their dinobots will be a good collector items? How are the build quality of their Function series?

Note, the regular version looks a bit different, like the chrome gold parts are colored as gold only.
*
i rank fansproject and maketoys as the top 2 third party makers in terms of quality and design.

the regular version of the LER-01 doesnt have the chrome colored parts. that one is botcon exclusive version.

What about Perfect Effect? Are they good or they did not produce enough products or overpriced?

Fans Project Dinobots is really tempting. Looks pretty damn good for its size.

I prefer the non chrome parts version. Kinda worried that the chrome will fall of eventually.
*
perfect effect i'm neutral, partly because they dont have much that interests me. but whatever PE items that i have, are pretty decent.

FP sludge according to x2o sometime next month smile.gif ...

Yes i've got to admit that Warden is a real partsformer.. makes me wish the head thing is an after thought where as the tank is the main mode.  Changing to tank mode is just detaching some parts.. folding the body into a shape.. and then attaching parts.

However they do it right and end up with a pretty solid figure.. In fact can say with the paint apps and how the guns look.. he's a toy that you can put in an acrylic case and ppl will think it is a statue. I was on the fence for a long while also, because of it being parts forming etc etc.. but after seeing it in person, I had to get one and now, no regrets.  The Swamper that was in the same shipment however.. sigh.. what a mistake.  If you guys are getting Swamper, watch out for paint chips. Mine has it on many places. sad.gif luckily just the gray areas.. once I find a suitable color will paint over it

third party headmaster = fansproject only

no need bother about the rest smile.gif

Anyone here who hasn't preordered MMC's Talon and Tigris? I found out that I po'd these figures twice... sweat.gif so I need to let one pair go. I'm even willing to give a slight discount on my preorder price since it's my mistake anyway. sad.gif

Please drop me a PM. Thanks!
