QUOTE(tanleeseng @ Apr 13 2015, 03:06 PM) ... for the record, i'm also referring to all the recent animated series. starting from TF animated up to whatever it is now.....(see i don't even have interest in the shows anymore. maybe it's mid life crisis I'm actually referring to all the animated series in general as not pinpointing only towards the RID 2014 series. Animated Blurr for one and the TFP line of figures in general are in my book some very well made figures. Eventhough they don't incorporate complicated transformation mechanism such as ROTF OP not to mention some of them are even somewhat simplified but they serve the purpose and fit persona of the character which they are based on. This is what made them interesting to me. ... ) |

Transformers are like people.

QUOTE(shaniandras2787 @ Apr 13 2015, 02:02 PM) Latest news, apparently, it is quite "proven" that the seller is a fraudster. All of his listings has been removed and his account has been deleted by eBay. Paypal has also confirmed that all buyers submitted claims for a refund but they cannot proceed any further because in their record, the seller has updated the system with "tracking code" which upon verification, appears to be invalid =O Thanks for sharing...  gonna see what I can do |

It's not done unintentionally, it gives a visual impression to people that the figures are bulky. Combiners are supposed to look tough, so they need to appear "strengthy" (if that's even a word Funny thing is, the ugly one is the official transformation. I don't get why Hasbro is trying to make all its combiners look like gorillas. ).No one likes an agility bodied combiner. |

The box can give you lots of hints if it is real or fake. Search KO vs. MP comparisons from RocketPunch Army on YouTubeAs far as I know, even the box is exactly the same thing perfectly copied. |
