    For those who have the toy in hand can you tell where it was manufactured? I know that the paperwork that comes with HLJ orders usually states the country of origin. That way I found out that my Metal Build Gold Frame was manufactured in the Czech Republic I believe. I heard Bandai is manufacturing some of the Dragonball S.H.Figuarts in Vietnam and the first runs had all kinds of QC issues. Same goes for the Takara Materpiece Hound who was allegedly produced in Vietnam too and was a QC nightmare.

    Without anything to compare it to the detailing on the train makes it looks ginormous. I know it will be tiny but still… Also is the roof of the train just dangling on the back of the leg?

    Kuma, are you planning to do a full review on the Victory Leo? I’m curious what you think about it. Love the Kuro Kara Kuro pictures. I’ve got my SG Prime this week and other than the choice painting parts of the figure black I can’t find any flaws. A dark gray would have looked so much better imho.

    Since the War for Cybertron line is the first (complete and) unified G1 cast in toy form that comes from one source with one design language/principle and behind it I think you can make the argument that this is the correct scale that these characters should have compared to one another. Especially since this is what the creators of the Transformers had in mind for the characters and the models are represented not only in toy form but also in official media. Maybe it is time to abandon the holy scale chart and create a better one from the WfC toys.

    Could be a bad combination of lighting and the inability of the camera to pick up purples correctly. Later in the video you can see a comparison to the red Astraea Type F and mine doesn’t look that red.

    Hey isn’t that the old geezer from Build Fighters (Try)? Is he cosplaying?

    I loved to play with my Playmobil toys as a kid. They are high quality. But I don’t understand their appeal for an adult. With Lego I greatly enjoy the building process which is mostly missing from Playmobil sets. If you like the Playmobil aesthetic I would say go for it. Otherwise a scale model of KITT might be the way to go especially if you are not interested in the human sidekicks. 😉

    I’m glad not many people are interested in the Hi-Nu. Will make it easier to order for me. 😛

    I think this and Wheely where just pack ins to make the box big enough for the leader price point both in the perceived value and box size department. I would have preferred if they had included a sword instead of this useless box padding. At first glance The Exo Suit looks very similar to the one that came with MP Bumblebee V1.

    I tend to agree. My interest in the show dwindled a fair bit after the setup was complete. After that it felt formulaic: wandering around doing good deeds, repeat. Still have two more episodes to watch so this can change. I think the Isekai nature of the show doesn’t serve any purpose besides keep him going in the beginning but he could that impetus from somewhere else like the love for his foster parents. Whereas in Jobless Reincarnation the past life has a severe impact on Rudys character. As I said I have two more episodes to watch so maybe this will change.

    I had no intentions of seeing this movie sind part 2 and 3 were super letdowns (and I understood what the architect was saying…. I think). But after I saw the RLM review of it and they said the movie is like Gremlins 2 with its critique of the Hollywood system I stopped the video and decided I have to watch it before I can continue the review.

    I’m fairly certain that the inevitable HWS will come with a white shield so not to scratch the precious polka dots when attaching the HWS „thing“ to it.

    I guess no „coming soon“ ob Galaxy Scycrow. 😔

    Since I ordered all my past TWE Macross add-on sets from NY and they went under does anyone know if anime-export was carrying the add-on sets in the past?

    Well I have issues with the sculpt of the Metal Build Hi-Nu (especially the lower legs) from the pictures we have seen for the last Tamashii Nations event

    I hope Bandai will release a Nu Gundam and a Sazabi in the Metal Build line to. While I adore the sculpt, deco and gimmicks on the Ver Ka MG kits (love the green psycho frame on the Nu) and I have issues with the sculpt of the MB Hi-Nu they are just so fiddly and not fun to pose. Generally they are too heavy for their own good. On my Hi-Nu the backpack falls off if you look at it funny, the legs on the Nu collapse and the Fin Funnels are a mess. The Sazabi is probably the best but the weapons are too heavy for the wrist joints. Don‘t know if this post would fit better into the Gunpla thread. 🤷

    Ohhhhh

    I titled this picture: A case against light piping

    I’m still sad they never made the black Devine Shooter a general release.

    If the Grimlock turns out halfway decent I will buy him. Love the little T-Rex hands that become the robot arms. Regarding the Legends releases. It is sad that the last couple of releases I bought from IronFactory had such non-transformations. They look great in robot mode and are good action figures but the transformation and resulting alt-modes are lacking. I’m talking about their Lio Convoy, Cyclonus and Galvatron.

    I hope they announce some more X-Men soon. I need a Rogue and a Storm so that the collection feels somewhat complete.

    Got my New Age Prime today (the black and teal version that is). What an awesome little transformation. It is what the Masterpiece one was aiming for. Complex but not illogical and confusing. And it has a couple of those Masterpiece moments. Especially in the legs. He has a bit of a fat torso and the truck bed is not flat but he doesn’t habe the feet just hanging out back there. Feels great in hand too. What i don’t like are the missing gun supporting hands. If you put in extra hands (he has splayed and pointing hands) add some so that Prime can hold his gun with two hands. Recommend! The only thing missing is NA Cyclonus and my Legends collection will be complete.

    @lechuck I think they didn’t want to split the rear hatch of the car. That’s why decided having the fake hatch on the back of the legs. If that was a request of the licensor (like MP Sunstreaker) or a decision by the designer I don’t know.
