I don't own Generations Kup, but I've heard people recommend him. Dunno about Toma/Trail though.

>>5284778

Just go to Amazon or eBay or something if you can't find it for MSRP man. Hot Spot isn't a big demand figure or *that* popular. You can find him for what he should cost, maybe even a bit less.

I like Trailbreaker. Fun little figure. I usually don't buy repaints/remolds/retools of molds I already own, but I liked it enough to also get hoist. I like hoist more, but that's because I like the headsculpt and green is my favorite color. Plus the gun is neat.

With Trailbreaker you do get a useful shield.

This fandom is crazy sometimes, but sometimes it's also interesting.

I can not stand that mold. I can point out all the reasons why dislike it. The interesting thing though is that there are people who love it like you do and more power to you.

I like some molds people aren't fond of as well. I find PRID strongarm to be pretty fun.

I just got a shipment from BBTS yesterday.

Got MP Tracks and Sideswipe, Q-Transformers Sideswipe and Cliffjumper, Generations Springer, UW Superion, the three Decepticon fembots, an upgrade kit for MP Bee, and the most recent Mafex Spiderman.

Tracks is great. The arms can articulate even with the wings in the way, you just have to get used to using the butterfly joint just beside the shoulder in conjunction with everything else. You can also just reposition the backpack so it's out of the way, it just won't lock in. I don't understand why everyone is so angry about his mono crotch-plate. Sideswipe does the exact same thing and no one seems to care.

Just watch out with Springer. The upper panels on his arms that slot in for his car mode on mine are near impossible to get back out once pushed in. I don't know why either, they're really smooth going in and turning, it's just getting them out is fucking hard as shit.

Beyond the entire back and chest of the headmaster itself being piped, I can't see it. Can still dream. Still beyond stoked that Skullcrunch is getting a new figure. Maybe we'll finally get a good Weirdwolf in that same blocky style.

>>5285154
I doubt anything beyond leader class and up would be able to do it, considering you'd need room for the LED and at least a button battery somewhere. Not to mention the wires would need to be put in such a way that they don't interfere with the transformation.

Whirl was a licensed mold originally made for Dorvack.

US Marvel never touched him because they had plenty of toys to sell but Furman in the UK Marvel comics grabbed him to fill out the extra UK stories.

Then IDW re-introduced him and Roberts made him a spotlight character because muh childhood.

the deluxe insecticon molds were liscenced by hasbro from a different company (takatoku toys? i think) who were a competitor of takara in japan at the time. Takara pressured hasbro not to put them in the show because takatoku had the molds out at thr same time and they did not want to be advertising their competitors product for them. It's the same reason that Jetfire was retooled into Skyfire for the show, the promptly dissapeared never to be seen again as soon as his toy wasn't on shelves anymore (because bandai and harmony gold were pushing Macross and Robotech merch).

Peaugh if I want to know exactly how the toy works in terms of poseability and am very on the fence.
Vangelus and Thew if I want to be informed by someone actually enjoying the toy and telling me it's fun points rather than hard facts. Honestly I almost always go for the latter unless it's some extremely expensive 3rd party fig, can't stand dry reviews and even less so when the speaker sounds like Optibotimus or Emgo. I mean learn to fucking edit your "UHH, EHM, WELL, UHH" out of your videos.

As a figure he is not bad.

The problem is sometimes the face change gimmick is a problem for some and the shoulders were fucked up in production.

The face on mine has no issue, but the shoulders had the issue of not staying connected in bot mode.

That is very easily fixed in a few ways. Once that is fixed then the figure is pretty awesome.

No you shouldn't have to fix it, but it is easy to do.

The toy isn't bad. It just had manufacturing issue that's easily handled and doesn't ruin the figure.

Emgo for when I want to see absolutely everything about a toy. His videos are often kinda cringe-worthy and overly long, but at the same time that means there is not a whole lot that isn't covered. Peaugh also works for this sometimes, but his videos can be oddly filmed and he usually fails to show a figure's full range of movement. Not cringy though.

Other than that, Vangelus is probably the best combination of a competent reviewer and entertainer - I usually trust his verdict on stuff.

Thew is my absolute favorite though. He's not very objective or detailed, but his videos are very sincere and focus on what he finds fun about a toy.

He can't even pronounce the name of the toy properly.
He fumbles.

He is really not a good reviewer.

I've watched quite a few of his reviews and have noticed fumbling, but none of that other stuff. I did catch the broken tab he got with devastator though. Haven't seen him break anything else. Even the ko's.

He broke a couple and blamed the toy for it, but him mistransforming stuff is a regular thing and he usually reviews with a bias with the prime example of the CW Devastator. He really hated on that thing to the point that it was not objective at all.

Still haven't seen him break anything besides the tab. I will say I fast forwarded on devastator for the combined mode articulation.

As mentioned in my first post about him I prefer the videos for what he reviews and the clarity and quality visually. Whatever he uses provides a great view.

I usually don't agree with reviewers anyways. I watch/read reviews so I can get a look. I don't care if someone likes the figure or not. If that bothers you then take a second and realize they aren't you and you aren't them. Form your own opinion.

Ejector was so great, but it was impossible to avoid scratching his paint. His transformation literally requires you to scrape his face against two painted panels. He looks adequate as a grey toaster, but it's such a shame so much paint had to go to waste.

Kup is excellent. His only flaw is his forearm kibble, but everything else is great, and it's nice to have an Autobot that isn't a sports car. His head sculpt is weak, however. If you can find the appropriate iGear replacement head, do so.

Also, the eHobby exclusive Kup (the one in the middle here), is supposed to be a tribute to his original toy colors, and in person, he is, but no camera seems to be able to capture his colors properly. He always looks extremely blue in pictures.

That's the difference between a knock-off and a bootleg. The two terms get used interchangablly alot, but they have different connotations.

A knock-off is a cut-cost mass production thing... the cheap dime store hollow oversize legends and micro-size G1 combiners made of little more than stickers and mold flash.

A bootleg is technically more of a full(unauthorized) reproduction. They are intended to be nearly exact duplicates usually intended to fool people into thinking they could be the real thing. The term was originally used for illegal recordings of concerts, unauthorized dupes of albums and movies, etc.

Technically speaking, the Masterpieces "KO"s are more like bootlegs.

And Brakeneck from the Menasor combiners, because he's an exclusive to some chain in the US, unlike the rest of the fucking world.

Thats why I went with the UW set for Menasor. The correct team, and cost about the same. Fucking exclusive shit needs to stop, all it does is encourage scalping shitters.

And hey, Pledge Futureshine question /toy/. I ordered a bottle of the stuff online since everyone seems to recommend it for helping with loose joints. Would it help with the hand/feet CW pegs if I put some on those? My Defensor's pegs seem to be a bit looser than the rest, and it appears to be because the pegs themselves are a bit smaller than they should be. They go in, but not as tightly as my other CW sets. And Rook has a similar problem with his right hand fisthole, it doesn't hold shit half as well as his left hand. Would slapping some on that help, or would it be better to put some on the individual weapon pegs?

Imo super glue is better for the peg because the amount of tightness needed is a lot more than typical joints, and I've done multiple pledgings and it just isn't enough for me. I do pledge on every thing else though, the toe/thumbs are A LOT more stable with pledge and it gives a lot more ability for poses.

I was gonna mention that earlier this morning, but assumed the whole thread would derail into calling me a BBTS shill.

The only mold I want out of that is Rollbar, just to have all three Hatchback mold guys, but he's sitting at ~$18 on Mandarake recently, so I don't really feel like grabbing the whole box. I don't mind having the Vehecon mold, but I don't really need a second Crankcase, and that version of the Old and Bustded deco Prime is really an eyesore to me.

From a purely monetary standpoint, paying $20 for a Voyager and $15 each for two deluxes isn't a bad deal, especially when they're limited release decos. If at least two of the figures in the set catch your eye, I'd say go for it.

Think it's a case of Hasbro being lazy and half-assing with Brawl, or do they know something about transforming him that we haven't picked-up on yet?

Also, think Takara will fix this issue? Do we need to contact Hasbro and let them know about Brawl's problem?

Jesus, that looks retarded. So I guess reprolabels is just printing out any random shit to plaster onto figures that don't need it in the first place?

Only Transformers I've bought that truly benefited from additional stickers were MP Wheeljack and Smokescreen, and Ocean Designs makes sets for them that are a million times better, and not printed on shitty, cheap, textured paper.

Pretty much. I was looking forward to their Leader Megatron set a few months ago, but I passed when I found out they crammed a bunch of stupid solid-color block "details" onto the sheet to charge more for it.

They didn't even make the chest swirls clear-backed. Whenever I get around to buying a better printer, I think I'll just get some clear sticker sheets and make my own swirls. Hell, I could probably mass-produce them and make a nice amount for it.

Obviously I've not had a chance to actually handle the figure but I'm guessings maybe there's something to do with moving the combination peg to allow the legs to sit better perhaps? There's got to be a solution that doesn't involve mangling the toy.

Damn shame too. The combaticons were always my favourite combiner team.
