and they have improved the hips too, ublike herc and uranos
While the hips are improved because now of the folding design. For me there is still one weak spot that will need to be reinforced with nail polish haha..
The connectors on Nemean. Mine has after owning it a while and combining it with Uranos legs and Street wise a few times.. while the hips don't split apart.. the connections are loose.. so it will still collapse on the weight if not stnading properly.
ahh ok hehe used to the very "hulky" idw look so didn't see it as Turmoil. You know what this means though.. we are going to get a Tarn too in the future.
Thanks, so the transformed version is easier to inspect then compared to the alt mode?
Still, seller claim that he only took out and display. Never transformed once as he has one that comes in plane mode and one in Alt mode. Would it be safe to assume that Takara QC is decent for Masterpiece?
Sorry for so many questions, this is the first time I am buying a Masterpiece. If it is Animated, then, i dont really care as they are durable as heck.
The QC is hit and miss, so far one of the worst QC snafus i've heard on their part for the MP line is MP-09b .. and MP-09 1st version where the joints on the leg snap very easily.
Ya, simplified indeed but partly because we are comparing it to construction vehicles which are not that boxish or uniform in volume.
I got a quote from a seller before at Rm1300 but required more deposit, around RM260...
Hmm that's not too bad.
Honestly though, I don't mind that it is simple. As long as they look good. (Can't say the same for the SIMPLIFIED AOE line, but some of the generations figure looking good).
i have to say i'm pretty darned impressed with the individual figures too.. not-Brawl may be a bit lacking but i think he's still damn good looking and amazing display-wise what made me go for warbotron's bruticus is the fact that the figures themselves are bigger compared to say, maketoy's or TFC's and the price is pretty much the same
that and bruticus has always been one of my favourites.. having a re-imagined figure of him is right up my alley
and yes, if you ever have buyer's remorse, you'll likely just be losing out less than 5-10% even when you resell BIB since people still buy them, so there's hardly any reason not to get one if you really feel that you like it
Still waiting for my Heavy Noisy, but looking at the way the feet is going to peg into him.. (the slot looks thin and might be prone to breakage). I think we are going to be surprised at the price of the body. Possibly a bit more expensive than the main bodies of other toys. If you think about it in terms of "number of pieces". TFC and MMC combiners pretty much have a lot of accessories, for ARES, sword, gun, feet, hands etc etc. Now so far for Warbotron each of the Bruticus we are getting is only the main figure itself and as you say, the price is surprisingly good.
This makes me believe after the 4 figures, we'll get Onslaught at possibly more than rm 400-500. Which will include the hands and feet + weapons (which I hope is not an add-on)
even then, Diesel was 550.. and he comes with everything.. while each of the cars are 240 range each? i'm sure the weapon will be a combination of all the parts' weapons.. and warbotron has already announced an additional weapons add on, which i don't think i'll be getting.. but it depends on how things go if they screw up on the pricing of the main body there'll probably be a backlash, seeing as their distribution was already really really bad
yeah i was 100% warbo supporter until the shipping fiasco and I was one of those that actually got mine less than a month after bbts from X2O. Heard from 1Toy tauke up till now still no full AirBurst shipment yet (I get it that BBTS paid in advance to get 1st dibs.. but on Warbo's side, they should have notified all their retailers that they will be getting it later etc etc. Ah well.. at least they fixed tat particular issue with Heavy Noisy and hope it continues.
yup. PO-ed from 1toy and still haven't got my Airburst.. hope the other figures won't be as frustrating to get.. i'd want my bruticus completed as soon as possible so i can spread more poison here
YES SPREAD THE POISON !!! BRING IN MORE COLLECTORS..
I hope 1 day malaysia will be the one who get these stuff first as opposed to Singapore.. and then we get the leftovers here.. *cough* FOC grimlock *cough*
Thanks for the feedback. I sure do hope I can find an original Striker Prime without the heavy goreng-ed price but that would be impossible now. Hopefully I would be lucky.
To be honest, I've read so far nothing but good reviews from people who bought the KO Buster Prime. The only complaint was that some part of the feet the silver paint coat was not so good.. and joints are generally tighter. For Striker, I think the reviews ar emore or less the same.. tighter joints etc..
I'd say if you want to display a good "Jetpack OP" . Get the KO striker along with the FWI-4 add-on kit for a movie accurate look.
i'm ordering it since i need to replace my Good Old Striker Prime parts which being damage badly... hate it when i'm not home and someone entering my reading(errr is it) room and touch my collectible...
I know the feels bro. One of my wife's relatives' kid. Came into my room ran around with one of my Lego ships (not yet collect transformers at the time) and dropped it. Sure you can always rebuild Lego, but one of the things I always teach my kid is .. when you go to someone's house.. DON'T TOUCH PEOPLE'S THINGS.
2nd that... not only kids... even my friend will open my detolf and pose perkara yang senonok among gundam and tf
Yeah.. same i have a friend like this also. I pose my GUndam all in certain poses that I like. He come.. take.. pose pose .. put back.. then ruin the whole look of my shelf haha.. It's been a long time I've invited anyone to look at my collection. ONly recently it's ok because now my shelves got glass doors.. and they are good enough to not open my shelf without my permission haha.
