    I have that devastator, and I absolutely love it. It's a fantastically fun figure. But part of that love is that it doesn't try to be anything except exactly what it is, an overly toony, nicely articulated action master. It looks great with my toony pat-lee-styled revoltech figures (who also...

    The only major concern I have about the MS figure is the singular waist flap. I've seen some artwork that the figure is supposedly based on, and the singular flap looks pretty bad in action poses, like he's sporting wood under there. I hope the figure isn't going that direction, but I might...

    I'm not a huge fan of MP-10, so I've been actively looking for an alternative for a long time. The new MP once again took the worst parts of the cartoon rendering and put them in the design. Prime's torso was never meant to be that short, but he was normally drawn from the perspective of...

    Yeah, I looked in there last night, and it was a dumpster fire of of argumentative know-it-alls and TT fanboys. I wanted no part of it.

    Takara Transformers

    I don't know how I feel about that. It's definitely toony. It doesn't look terrible, but it's not the badass figure I was hoping for. He's got a bit of that high-waist, Urkel-pants that MP-36 has going on. I'm torn. I want to like it, but I'm far from blown away. F#$% that's a big diaper...

    He has a Willys Jeep for a leg.... how freaking big *should* he be?! There's no way to reconcile the non-matching limb scales, no matter what size you deem to be correct. Same with Defensor. Probably why they're two of my least favorite combiners. I want an MP G1 Computron, always my...

    Is that the UT figure or some kind of Xing Bao knockup? So many 3P combiners these days, I can't keep track. It doesn't bother me that he's smaller than Constructor. I always think of Devy being the largest combiner b/c he's made of huge vehicles, and there are six of them. Not every...

    That's not Toro... I don't know which CJ figure that is... but while that's a neat feature, the aesthetic is a no-go. I'm just not onboard with chibi vehicle modes in my MP collection. They might be toon accurate, but they look like shit next to other real-world alt modes.

    I'm slow on the draw, but payment sent. ;)

    I haven't watched it, but that's odd that they spent much time at all on the bayformers. I've only watched the SW one so far, and it was super heavy into the original stuff, i.e. the toys that made us back in the day. They just glossed over everything modern, and I was cool with that. The...

    I'm getting a full-on Spinout vibe. He'll probably be a QC disaster, but like the Omni figure, he'll look good and he's not expensive, worth taking a flier on. I ordered one, and if it sucks, I'll leave Downbeat on the shelf and Hova in car mode, no biggie. I'm not seeing it as a huge gamble...

    I was under the impression that this thing was completely DOA. I'm glad to see that it still has a chance. I bought and have grown to like MT's version, especially with a full complement of reprolabels, but I'm down for another good version of Jazz. Jazz, Sideswipe, Mirage, and Wheeljack were...

    Everything you say is true, but will we actually care? I think I'll be totally fine with that. They need to keep things going, keep things fresh and keep collectors interested, I get that. Realistically, with the last 5 years of 3P offerings, what do I really need TT to make at this point...

    Takara Transformers

    Eddie, you're completely right. But I'm ok with this one, as I was never a fan of MP-10 in general. I bought the official, first release... and it was a piece of crap. I had to kragle the chest doors closed because no matter how much you fiddled with them, there was always a huge gap. So...

    Takara Transformers

    It's been rumored for at least six months. This is one of the few instances that I am actually on-board with a more toony look. Skinny waist, bigger chest windows, long antenna ears that angle outward. Between MP-01, MP-10, and all the KO's of each, I'm good with the toy/toon hybrid options...

    Yeah, TW's head isn't great, but FT didn't do any better either. Not sure what's making her so difficult to get right.

    I don't know the scale of the statue, but the head looks perfect on the ToyWorld figure.

    Takara Transformers

    Is that Arcee a render or an actual statue? I agree the underboob is a bit much, but the figure/statue itself is pretty sweet. Why can't a 3P make a figure of her with a noggin that nice? So far, they're batting zero on acceptable Arcee heads... to the point I made my own from a cast of an...

    Hey, I think it's badass. I don't own either of those massive figures just because I don't know where I'd put them, but they're great-looking additions to a 1:18th collection. Thanks for sharing!

    Takara Transformers

    Right, but they haven't put out the regular MP-sized fixed version. They're dancing all around it but skipping the most obvious release.
