Kuma Style

ITT we act like the are Astrea isn't a blatant Exia retool plus emoticons.

Anyways,  I'm excited for it. very much so. Jusy gotta figure out where to display it. It's too nice to display south Mgs but really doesn't fit the color scheme of MB 00 stuff. 

Got the full review and gallery for MMC's Kultur Asterisk up: http://kumastyledesigns.com/mmc-kultur-asterisk-review/

Article obviously goes into detail but overall I really dig it. It's my first experience with the Kultur mold in general so it was cool to check it out and see how the reformatted line has progressed, particularly in the transformation aspect; night and day (in a positive way) from what I remember! Here are a few pics from the gallery portion:

I noticed it, I just wanted to help you know how to do it in the future, vs "randomly trying different things hoping it'll work again".

Didn't need the help as, like you'd stated it automatically did it when I pasted the link... it even states on the message box that it automatically embedded link, lol. Regardless, I'd hope that three or four embeds later I'd have picked up by now, haha.

-------------------------------------

Anyways, I got a message from X2Toys stating that they wanted to send their upcoming Jetfire headmaster piece for me to check out. I think the interchangeable mini figures are going to be a hit ala Fansproject's Core bots, but we'll see. Hoping the quality is up to snuff.

The latest version of the board is both "simple, but un-intuitive"----basically for most all pics and vids, you just paste the normal link, and it'll figure out what you intend, and embed it automatically. There's not really many "do this" buttons to click on etc.  Usually works well.   When it doesn't---then you're on your own. 

... you didn't notice the multiple embedded videos? I appreciate it, though. I honestly love that feature!

I agree, man. It's very well done.

Got the full review for Iron Factory's War Giant Attackers (Set A) up. http://kumastyledesigns.com/iron-factory-attackers-a-review/

Article itself goes into detail but overall, I think that this is a solid set. The first q.c. issue free release I remember from them in a bit. No overly tight joints or anything. Well done pieces. Just wish the weapons had better tabbing in their alt. modes. Here are some pics from the gallery portion:

Holy smokes Kuma, your pictures do a better job of selling me on purchasing toys than the maker does... you should send them your stuff and if they were smart hire you do product shots.

I wanted meteor before, but now man.. hes dopeeeee!

Actually, companies do send me this stuff for photography and promotion; haha. I'm primarily a Super Robot collector, TBH. And thank you; I very much so appreciate the compliment.

The full review for MakeToys MTRM-11 is up: http://kumastyledesigns.com/maketoys-meteor-review/

The article goes into detail but overall I digit. The cartoon-esque styling and articulation really won me over. Here are some pics from the galla portion.

Nice pictures make Sonic Liger Convoy seem small in comparison.  You are making hard on me not to buy him.

In the show the fully combined Optimus was around the height of Star Scream and Megatron. Unarmored Optimus was short.

No idea on how to embed videos here but here's the video review.

Awesome pictures, never get tired of seeing them.

Thanks man. Much appreciated.

Congrats on that big-ol box of awesomeness, Pineapple!

Alright, so got the written review and gallery up for MakeToys MTRM-10 Galaxy Meteor up (video portion still uploading: ) http://kumastyledesigns.com/maketoys-galaxy-meteor-review/

The article goes into depth on what I really liked and things I would have liked to see different but overall it's a well-made and FUN piece that I'd recommend.

Here are a few shots from the gallery portion. Much more on site:

Just buy what you want.

I don't understand all the fuzz about Fans Hobby. All of their releases look terrible to me, especially Double Devil. The aesthetic is not for my tastest and even if they where I don't like how flimsy they look in all the reviews.

Honestly,  I do photography for them and their products are solid. Looks are subjective but they're undoubtedly pieces that play and hold up well and I've had them all.

Maybe but something about Fire Convoy is special. I think it is the orange stripe on his asymmetric chest. That somehow does it for me.

Nothing wrong with that. I'm obviously a huge mark for Galaxy Force so I'm extremely excited for the Masterpiece-Scaled stuff incoming for that series. 

@Scyla - MakeToys is actually a totally different company but regardless Dai-Z is really freaking cool. One of my favorite FP offerings. I'll take a pic in a second of my Warbot collection. You guys are going to think I'm nuts.

Do you guys actually buy this stuff? Post some pics. This thread is drab.

Scyla, Galaxy Force Convoy will take care of all of the descriptors you listed and combines with Sonic Bomber for an even further powered mode.
