Joints and overall QC seem fine. A tiny scratch under his eye on his headsculpt, but otherwise no issues.

What about the size did not suit your tastes?

In terms of scaling they definitely weren't aiming for any sort of accuracy - the sole goal was to serve as a head for G1 Fort Max haha.

When I first started last year, I wasnt sure what transformer size should I collect as a bunch of Deluxe will look odd around a few Leader class as the scaling isnt always close to the comics or cartoons. I was unsure whether do I want to go for Combiners, Voyagers, MP, Mini(like those small cute little ones from Iron Factory) or Deluxe transformers.

Warden's problem is, he is quite short compared to my MPs but generally scale well with Voyagers. The price tag is also pretty high despite the polish is amazing. I am also not entirely satisfied with both much older PEs that I own due to inconsistent QC and painful transformation but I think PE fixed a lot of issues from their older products with Warden.

I also had played with a MMC Azalea or Arcee, I really like the quality of the transformation and ease in posing of the transformer. At the end, I think I'll just go with MMC Hexatron/Spartan, considering they scale better with MPs. I also find that I prefer larger transformers that is around the size of a MP Starscream which was my first transformer I bought in recent years after I stopped collecting 10 years+ ago.

It is just my personal taste, not PE's fault. Their upcoming Scoponok still caught my interest, though.

I asked first k? You guys back off  tongue.gif

Seriously though, if you check the FansToys FB page, there are TONS of people asking for a Quakewave reissue.

Hopefully it's only a matter of time. Scalper prices are just too much.

Ya, you asked first. cry.gif

They should just to a reissue. I think the demand for it is insane all these while.

Personally I find that once you go MP... it's hard to get so excited with 90% of other official figures.

But the challenge I find with MP is, even if a figure from another line can scale with them, their aesthetics rarely match.

Most other lines - even CHUG figures - are either too stylized, too simple or too kiddy to blend in convincingly.

So being a 30+ year-old guy who was raised on G1, I prefer sticking to just MP and certain high end third party figures.

Probably a good thing also for my wallet and the space in my house...

I think I liked MP mainly because of the size of some of their transformers, you tend to see more details compared to smaller ones. What other third party transformers you think that will match with MP aesthetics?

I do agree not all third party fit well with MP aesthetics.

Does any have Unique Toy's Astro Train/Devil Star?
