So guys, which 3rd party dinobots do you think you guys will be going for ? (non-MP scale)

FansProject?

ToyWorld ?

I've ordered FansProject one, but so far with some pics out, he looks a bit small to me.. some pics show he's not that much bigger than say FOC Grimmy but according to measurements, he should be at least a little bit taller than TW-Orion so I'm not sure if it's the angles or what.

ToyWorld one looks interesting. The combiner aspect is certainly awesome, but from initial pics of their Sludge and Snarl the bot modes look very non descript which is probably due to TW needing to keep the combiner mode in mind.

Hehe could use some thoughts and advice. With a great many things expected to come out int he next few months.. Quantron.. Utopia etc.. once has to make decisions and not just buy all huhuh T_T

The current Hasbro designers weird leh..The chrom just simply tampar everywhere. Look at their AOE leader Prime.then see Takara one. Takara also got chrome.. but done so sparingly and in the right places.

Asking advice from bros here, I'm definitely down for the fansProject dinobots, but might consider getting one of the combiners. So the choice is between GCreations Shura King and ToyWorld's

For me at the moment, I'm torn. ToyWorld I've bought their stuff before. Some hits (Orion) and some misses (Swamper.. bad QC) but their dinobots is the smallest of the 3. Whereas GCreations has the size thing going for it, but new company(?) so not sure how it will be like..

WHat do you guys think?

Toyworld's are roughly around the same scale as FP.

Personally I'll pick Toyworld for these reasons:
1) TW Combiner + G1style +Bling > FP Semi-WFC/FoC + Minibots + No Bling.
2) Shuraking too big.

It just depends on what you're looking for in the end.
*
Actually size wise, comparing dino modes especially, TW are the smallest. Also, because of the combiner reason, the dinos won't have different sizes such as a bigger Sludge because they need to match each other in combiner mode.

For me, I'm going to display them with TW-Orion, so every little bit of height counts. But yeah as a secondary dinobot set, between TW and SHuraKing, it's a tough decision for me.

edit: For ShuraKing's size though, again, taking into TW-Orion, based on some g1 episodes, their size is pretty to scale also hehe.

I am getting a FP because FP's version has better polish with a lot of the nice little detailing, has good articulation, the targetmaster is pretty neat gimmick and as far as I know, FP is a more consistent company in releasing decent products. I like the alt mode too, without all the big guns like another 3rd party. The bling bits are prone to scratches, as someone who had the con version of Columpio had scratches on the chest piece.

No point spending Rm300 for a figurine that doesnt look polished, IMO. TW's version looks too plain to me despite I dont mind the G1 design. Considering that I am not planning to collect all, I am not really interested in combiners as if its designed to be a combiners, the design will compromise the bot mode in some ways. I still like to have some flexibility to buy other transformers from Maketoys and PE.

Still want to get Maketoys Nemesis then PE's Warden and eventually, their Scoponok.
*
Hehe boss, should go for the Warden first if you really want it. MIght be less/no reissue soon. Maketoy Nemesis i think will still have chance to get many months after its release (also seeing as there isn't a confrmed price from our retailers for it.. it might be a while before it gets released.. Utopia and Quantron already have price. )

Agree with your points on FP, more or less the same reason they will be my main focus. But your opinion if you were to get a second set of dinbots the combiner ones.. which one would strike your fancy ?

If I am not wrong, there are 2 third parties making MP sized dinobots. Their MP sized Slag looks damn good beside MP Grimlock.

Yep Giga and FansToys.

I'm currently supporting FansToys because.. well I h ave their not-Shockwave and it is very good quality. And Slag supposed to have some issues, but mine so far ok.

Haha amen.

I love Transformers - yet a part of me can't justify why I still collect them.

*
Lol. Eh I justify it because I like it. I know a lot of people who are absolutely only spending money on things they need. Saving for the future etc etc. Yes that is good, but sometimes you need to indulge on things. If you don't sometimes get things for yourself that you really like, what's the point of working hard? haha.

That's my justification and it works on the missus thumbup.gif

Then, there isnt much point for me to buy from Famitoy then as I want to focus on third party now. Famitoy carries so little third parties.

They still carry m ost 3rd party stuff, but Ah Kok said before he will bring in no more MakeToys, FPJ stuff don't know why and one other brand, forget which.

As to why he doesn't like to reply most messages, could be I imagine everybody also message him until ver sien haha. It's difficult also , sunway giza not say for for me but not exactly near (Kelana Jaya). Last time wanted to c heck if he has some beast wars figures i wanted to buy.. msg him.. he say will check for me.. then no reply haha end up i just drive there .. lucky got hehe

If he is not carrying other 3rd party brands, what else he can bring in? Maketoys and FP are probably the most commercialised third party as far as i know with multiple product releases. Other companies mostly have one product a year or so.

I dunno man, but I dont think i'll go there often if all he brings are Hasbro and Takara transformers.

Any other good physical shops that brings in 3rd party? It is difficult to judge a transformer based on pictures to be honest.

I didnt know that my PE's ASX not-Reflector are that tiny.
*
Oh yeah now I remember he's not bringing in MMC anymore also. Different type of store lor Famitoy. More on official stuff with some very nice olders tuff there.

So far that's the only things I've bought from Famitoy anyways. Also Famitoy sometimes seem to get some good deals. Managed to preorder wheeljack and Bumblebee from him at a very unbelievable price. Will have to see if the price turns out as they said it would or not.

Wow, I'm so glad nobody on this forum is doing the whole "Take pictures of our collection, and make it into a tribute for MH17 mourning"..

Unless I've just jinxed it.

mourning should be universally simple (and from the heart) without involving equipment/tools/toys/collections.

I can't bear to open folder and photochop anything to represents my sadness feeling, so it would be even useless if I finally did it and show to others, expect others to understand what I just 'chopped/published.


Same like breakups and other sadness. I wont immediately go and use LEGO and make a broken heart shape + arrow piercing it, then show to other see "how bad I'm currently feeling". I dont even have the mood to play LEGO if my emotion was that down anyway.
*
Yep that's what I thought too bro. I saw your comment on TransMy and I agreed with what you were conveying. They just don't get it. Mourning is not supposed to be something that you go .. "Hey, let's fluff it up with Transformers, since we are TransMY.." it should be just that.

Now there is pre-order for 3rd party dinobots fansproject n toyworld. Fansproject with transformable weapon. Toyworld can combine to big robot. Which one better? I don prefer Fans Toy coz they r huge like MP grimlock. Does not suit my collection. Currently have FOC grimlock n planet x swoop. Also looking for optimus tat can suit the size. Current collection as below.

[attachmentid=4106579]

if you already have planet X swoop, maybe sticlk with planet X? They are releasing a whole line of dinobots too.. Fansproject ones will look bigger compared to FOC grimlock.

Okay, the ROTF OP figure itself is a pretty hefty piece by itself. I do not know of any stands that could support even that, more if it's with any jetpack...

There are some figuarts stands available but none will  be sturdy or strong enough to suppor OP + jetpack.

There was however this stand for MP-10 asia premium release from Takara as below, but still not sure if it can support the entire OP + jetpack because MP-10 is pretty light actually. Again, this stand does not sell separately.

Not sold separately...THis comes with a certain batch of MP-10 reissue, for the Asian market.
All this free gift and coin exclusive is getting weirder by each releases, first there was this stand...not sure why is it needed for a OP anyways...Then there was this so called coin throne thingy for the Grimlock end up to be just a freakin cardboard box for the head throne, then there is now the King Grimlock throne chair thingy, end up to be a hollow plastic sheeet....
*
I heard from some seller before, it is to cater to the Asian market....These types of gift are always touted as "premium" or "order early then get it.. " or "while stocks last". I think it is part of a method to get people to commit early to preordering so they can determine stocks. It is also to getour mindset.. WAH GOT FREE GIFT!!!

Honestly so far since I started the hobby and the MPs I have.. the coins i just put aside only lol.. if you ask me where it is now.. I also need to go and search haha.
