Fattimus is coming to be more anime than the anime super mode debut prime, super mode prime is cracking up, kups are pieces of shit, and purple potatos crumble. But pexus is primo and CNY puts a pregnant pause on all parcel post processing, and plastic prices climb after Tariff wars.

Word of advice to anybody planning on buying Nonnef's Sunstreaker upgrade set.

DON'T. The spoiler's are poorly engineered and the connection points break no matter if you attach them high or low.

If you just want the guns then go ahead, but if you want the spoiler, consider other options.

considering the grill parts on roadking are diecast I'm wondering if it's actually vac metal or literally chromed metal. Because if it's actual chrome that would explain how it held up without any damage.

So got some bots in today
Quick aside on magnus
Cons
I feel the legs needed to be a smidge longer to keep out of the way of the hands.
I feel nervous about the long term longevity of the arms, having all the tension of moving the arms on the butterfly joints seems like a bad idea.
Pros
Going off the last con I feel this is fantastically poseable, amazing seeing a bulky bot move this freely.
All the tampo paint is clean and great.

Now for the tt hongli datsun set
Pros
This set was cheap $40 for the two is honestly not that bad of a deal
Has a lot of paint apps.
The plastic is nice and dense.
Transformation works well and the cars are completely different from each other.
Cons
Articulation is massively stunted, prowl is lifting his arms as high as they will go. There is no waist joint, and the head barely moves and has a plank right behind it making it worse.
While the paint is plentiful ii is not clean, bubbles in one spot smudged in others.
Accessories feel like they were taken from a ko, thin unpainted and not even 5mm.
Size is odd, think small chug I wonder if these were blown up legends toys. I think I would rather the earthrise datsons honestly
I don't know where these things came from honestly, they feel like third party toys from the time of early fansproject, like before the insecticons even.

>tight joints but not worryingly tight. Feels good in hand.
I opened this guy up a couple days ago and I'm still not sure what to think. The articulation is great overall, but yeah, the thighs, knees, and biceps are spooky tight. I straight up can't rotate the bicep swivel without gripping it at the shoulder like it's jar of olives or something. There MIGHT be a screw I can loosen under a cover, but I haven't been able to get at it yet. A couple other weird choices I think I hate: there's a molded piece on the back of his thighs that almost completely blocks the swivel there unless his legs are a click or two to the side, or dropped down. Same with the biceps, the swivel is molded in a circle like normal except a quarter inch of it is flattened and won't rotate unless you move his arm out a bit. Also there's almost no forward butterfly range at the shoulders.

Otherwise, everything is normal to great. The torso is amazing, the hands work well but his options are extremely limited vs just using 5mm fists, and he balances like a champ. The hip skirts are a little sketchy, but the way they move out of the way with the legs as he kicks forward is amazing and makes every other optimus look like amateur hour. It's just that posing him feels like he's fighting me half the time.

try moving the biceps a little outward first before rotating them, there isn't enough clearance to be comfortable otherwise imo

Yea like I said, it's doable, but kind of a pain in the ass. And then moving the arm out makes it harder for him to bring the arm across the chest. I have no idea how much of this is nitpicking and how much is frustration that he can't do semi basic stuff. Like with as many joints as this guy has, he shouldn't have this much trouble two-handing his gun.

I'm not too worried about that, the arm joints aren't horribly tight and you can always just holding him by the chest panels while moving the arms anyway. My only real concerns with this figure are the fingers, I find them super tight even after trying to put lube on them, I'm not going to be surprised if I got to move them and they just crack off.

Other than that though the tolerances on IF Magnus seem really good.

The design team are the ones conversing with the reviewer in that video. It wasn't due to QC issues but mostly them trying to tweak the proportions of all 3 modes so they'll look right. e.g. They tried to integrate the Bike-girl's hands into the transformation but they would had to make them disproportionately small so their current plan is to omit the hands from the bike transformation completely (partsforming). It's in "development hell" for lack of a better term.

Black Power Baser came in. I really like this thing so much even just sitting there in truck mode. It's no wonder even Kuma Style gave it a 9.5/10 despite his often being unforgiving on non-Japanese bots. Then again he gave Double Evil a 7/10, which does make me a bit concerned about my preorder since he mentions how it can be wobbly.

No big QC issues aside from paint on the back of the extra head. He's got an awesome robot mode that nails the Bee movie look better than any transforming bot. Vehicle mode is a bit compromised. Not super hard to transform but not near as elegant as a UT movie fig. Paint is divisive but the muddy effect works from a distance. If they produce a clean version I'll likely grab that as a replacement.

My biggest issue with it is the knee guards moving for no reason and I expected more from the fingers for its asking price.

Be careful with him, both for the sake of the figure and for the sake of your fingers because he's sharp as fuck. Otherwise, he's a lot of fun. Bitchin robot mode, alt mode is kind of a nonsensical mess but in a fun way, and he's a really unique piece. He's one of the older third party entries and it shows in his engineering but he still holds up fairly well.

I remember these guys were going for pretty damn cheap on tfsource for a while not too long ago and I'm honestly surprised they did because they're still pretty worth owning at least one of.

Isn't that a good thing though? Would you rather a company shove a product out the door for the sake of it or would you rather that delay it after issues are found on the preview samples so they can try to address them? If anything, the fact that they pulled back and delayed it should be a GOOD sign for the combined mode because it means they actually care about releasing a solid product. I mean that's kind of the point of preview samples.

That's not really how it works in China, even when a brand outright claims they have their own factory, it almost always means they are just a bunch of idea guys and salesmen having a long term contract with one or more no name manufacturer. They don't even necessarily have their own design team and could have subcontracted the design work to yet another party. A brand's figures can have parts produced by multiple factories and a factory can produce either some parts or entire figures for multiple brands.

Can confirm, my brother is our expat engineer for our subsidiary company and frequently contracts work out to these "factories".

You know how your uncle Dean has a 2 stall auto body garage in the alley way? Well in China your uncle Sheng has a 2 stall auto body garage, too. Except on one side of the shop is metal fab machinery and the other side is filled head to toe with hundreds upon hundreds of various molds / tooling plates for God knows whatever random part they were hired to make for whatever company literally all over the world.
My bro went to a tiny little shop to contract some aluminum & abs pieces, and he found rows of Briggs & Stratton motors that are used for US lawn mowers. And next to them he found Warhammer 40k molds which he thought I'd get a kick out of. They don't give a fuck if someone has the means to do it they'll do it or they'll subcontract it until it's done.

QC is pretty eh but I didn't have any major problems. The stress marks on Breakdown's spoiler as well as the stress on the leg pegs where the pin goes in seems like a pretty much universal thing, but I'm not too worried about it. The bumpy areas on the insides of the legs are pretty weird though.

The only actual issue I had was that one of Wildrider's arm swivels was deformed so as to be squared off somehow, which completely blocked it from turning until I popped it out and trimmed off the corners.

Honestly don't think they're too bad for little car bots. Like ignoring any QC failings they're fine from a design standpoint, they just seem to have suffered from being rushed out before CNY rather than really just being a half-assed release. The only issues I'd take with them is that the ab joints are kind of awkward, the knees and elbows stop at 90 degrees, and the blue paint from Breakdown's feet bleeds through the roof of the car pretty blatantly. If it weren't for being a bit of a QC gamble I think more people would be happier with these as simple and effective car bots.

I'm not sure why DX9 had to kill themselves and Maketoys are in sort of a coma when Fans Hobby have been chugging along with their collection of niche characters.

Seems like Pexus can either look pretty awkward like >>8781670 or insanely dynamic like pic related, just since it has so goddamn much articulation.

I was hoping to wait for a metallic repaint, but that's less likely than what you've listed even though it is an ez repaint.
He looks a lot more muted and less saturated than some of the promo shots made him out to be, so I might be alright. Never liked Optimus' normal colours because some companies make the red/blue too bright, so it looks kind of cheap (especially if it's bare plastic).

While the tolerances aren't as bad as I've seen with limbs popping off, but they feel like cheap KO's. One of them has excess glue seeping from the knee. Haven't seen a review that transforms them so I can't comment on how he holds them.

Some of the designs weren't exactly well thought out in terms of transformation. What some 3rd parties have managed to pull of in terms of engineering is commendable, they've turned the inside-out transformations into an art form, which is the only way many of the movie designs can be managed with any degree of accuracy.

I prefer to use their verified Taobao shop (but taobao is another rabbit hole...). They are notable because they are quite an old player in Mainland China and are the official distro for Ocean Decals. They also have exclusives by Dr Wu, X2toys and some smaller 3Ps.

I think he's alright, he's not really much special compared to the other 3 stunticons out so far though. He's pretty solid in hand, nothing really feels fiddly or fragile about him, but the articulation on him is kind of disappointing, I find he doesn't pose very well.

I understand a sacrifice to his knee joints and not having an ab joint for the sake of how they're handling the combined configuration, but a simple single hinge ankle joint is kind of limiting and the elbows are high up on the arms and give them a disproportionate appearance when bent. His chin also stops his head from being able to turn a full 180 degrees too which is a bit silly.

He still feels and looks nice, but after Motormaster and Breakdown, to a lesser extent Wildrider, were all so well articulated and posable, it is a bit of a let down in that regard. I think if you were to go all in on the Fanstoys stunticons and Started with Dragstrip first it would kind of give a bad impression of the rest of the set.

This car mode is pretty good though, it's pretty easy to make all 6 wheels connect with the ground and he rolls great. He's pretty easy to transform for the most part but it's really stiff getting everything to close up and click together when you join the top and bottom halves together. There's actually 2 clips connecting the back of the legs to the drivers seat that I couldn't get to go in at all so I ended up bitching out and trimming those clips with a knife instead of just forcing it. If I had any concern with this figure it would be accidentally hamhanding him in half trying to push and pull his halves apart while transforming him.

That's MMC Hellion. Pretty solid figure but really tricky to transform. On top of being a good Cliffjumper with good articulation and the full suite of cliffjumper accessories, his alt mode has a modeled interior which is really cool for a transforming figure that small.

If you're not put off by his looks (personally I think he's a bit ugly in some areas) I'd definitely recommend him if you just want a Cliffjumper MP that makes for a good toy though. Unfortunately they never did a matching Bumblebee.

If it's just looseness and pegging issues there are easy remedies for it. Future polish or just nail polish to help with the loose stuff, and silicone shock oil or a bit of sandpaper for the tabs that refuse to peg because they're too big for the slot. I've had to tinker to varying degrees with almost every single 3P figure I own, including the much raved about Constructor to the point that I fully expect to have to do some shit whenever a new one arrives.

More mechanical issues like overly loose ratchets and misassembled parts, or design flaws like the broken hinge due to its positioning causing unnecessary stress every time it's manipulated on Naval Commander are a whole different issue, those are down to lackluster product testing during the prototype stage and poor design decisions, and of course bad QC.

Zeta if you only care about combined mode and want the best combined mode. MMC is best overall.

It's MMC and it's Bruticus, just wait for them to reissue them. I think they confirmed they aren't doing a box set so if you ever see the individual members go up for sale just grab them.

Just got word that DX9's Chigurh is getting reissued, if anyone still wants an affordable Astrotrain. He is still taller than Thomas by the way, if anyone's wondering.

>>8789551
Best Bruticus is downright Zeta's. However, if you are also planning to display the set as the individual Combaticons in bot or alt mode, the MMC set is better. In an ideal world I would have two sets of the MMC and one Zeta for a gigantic Combaticon bot, alt and combined display, in that order. The only downsides to MMC's are:
- the slightly smaller size
- the fact that it doesn't use partsforming so their Onslaught has to be ridiculously huge compared to the others, even more so in person than how other companies have them proportioned, and even then, the finished Bruticus mode's torso still looks too short
- the higher price because no box set and it's MMC, what do you expect

I don't want to order from TFS myself, but I do have $33 to use from them.

But seeing TE Mirage be at $85, go "out of stock" (no way to actually prove this happened of course), relist at $95, and then over just the past 2 weeks or so steadily climb step by step to its current $120; it just sours me.

Other dude already said it but yeah most likely not gonna move until late February, possibly late March. Showzstore mentioned how the country might go into lockdown immediately after CNY to curb the virus from spreading from all the inevitable new cases. At best, things will be back to normal in March but my TW knight orion got delayed to a Q2 release so things could take longer. My transcraft Bumblebee managed to make it before that though. It took about a week before USPS shipping updated though to give you a frame of reference.

Hmmm, they actually have warehouses based in USA so unless it was a preorder, I actually don't know what's the deal. It could be that specific figure is produced to order so it's still coming from overseas anyway but then calling it in stock on their website is kinda false advertising. I really don't know what's the deal there. I've ordered two times from them, first time the order actually shipped from a warehouse in my town which was nice, second time was across the country but still only took a week from when I ordered.

Really curious to see where MMC focuses their efforts next. I guess Ocular Max will go on the same, and hopefully they release some legends scaled stuff from the "3d printer" dude, but I feel like their CHUG line needs to branch out soon. I'd love to see a "Generations" style line from them with figures based on BW, Unicron Trilogy, Animated, Prime, other comic series, etc at the same scale/quality as "Reformatted." Also a few key re-dos such as MTMTE Whirl and a 2.0 Megatron.

I'd like a new Megatron(us) to go with Optus, especially as he's no where on-par with him (I like Tyrantron more as the miner anyway)
Also PHARMA. I feel you can get a decent interpretation of Prime Starscream out of the mold with a lot of retooling.

I've been collecting Transformers for a couple years now but I've never bought third party before. What sites do you guys like to use? I was looking at TF Safari and TF Direct.

I usually find they're one of the faster ones to get their stock in america. But don't buy from there though if you're american because they're like the one 3P store in canada that takes online orders and it pisses me off when I miss releases from them and have to import something.

Tfsafari is good for the filler kits and upgrades.

Tfsource and chosen prime are good for main stock, showz store is good for third party and 'fourth party' so to speak

Are some sites faster than others? I imagine this stuff is shipping from China so there will likely be a wait.

And bts is basically online version of ross/big lots, where they get older stuff and a slower stock rate, but they get a few things someone traded in, or sometimes get it in stock slower, so you can probably pre order things that you'd need to save up for.

BigBadToyStore, TFSource, and TheChosePrime are all U.S. based. TFSafari and ShowZ are in China. You can also occasionally find pre-owned stuff on Mandarake, which is based in Japan.

The designers who did TFC's Piranacon and Cang Toys' Predaking are teasing a Dinobot team that will seemingly be able to combine. If I'm not mistaken these dudes are called Jiyi something.

I own the Shuraking and I've handled all of the other dinobot combiners. For me the only reason they don't work is because all of them insist on using a Grimlock as the main bulk of the torso and thighs. Even on my Shuraking where the Grimmy is much bigger than the others plus we are given a partsforming chest for combined mode, his joints and overall structural integrity are nowhere near up to the task of holding up the entire combiner, especially because they made Grimlock himself very poseable. They should have made the partsforming chest an entire torso and pair of thighs ala Zeta. Grimlock doesn't even necessarily have to be folded into a box, just make him slightly smaller to be more in line with the other members and turn him into the partsforming torso and upper leg's filler skeleton or something like that.

As long as Tarn doesn't look like the FT, they probably won't care as much. I just want a sexy Tarn that isn't a Legends figure, ugly looking like the MMC, and isn't $400...

It's not a case like MFT/HS/VS/Mech Soul/Mech Toys/etc. a company having many fronts. Jiyi Co. is merely a design+tooling company, they sell their designs to TFC, Garanthon, JiangXing, etc. and these separate companies handle the sub-contracting of the factories, promotion, distribution, after-sales etc. all the processes downstream.

In the case of their Predaking, the designs were first bought by ToyWorld during their post-divorce frenzy but they later handled it off to CANG, a separate company.

Without a production company to pick-up their designs, they are just concepts and drawings.

If I'm trying to straighten out some bent plastic by applying heat to it, how hot should I be trying to get it? One of the side torso panels to my Master Made Trypticon is slightly warped and doesn't peg in fully, I think it was just packaged not pegged in fully and it ended up getting stuck that way. It's pretty noticeable so I'm trying to do something about it.

My hair dryer doesn't seem to get hot enough to do anything but I got a heat gun that can do either 250c or 450c, I don't know if that's hot enough to just wreck the plastic instead though.

ABS glass transition temperature is just above water boiling point, so immersing the parts in a pot of boiling water for a few seconds at a time is the safest. 250C is overkill

If it only needs to be around 100c that's good to know. Yeah normally when I'd try to do anything like this I'd just dunk it in water but because of the way he's assembled you can barely take him apart, it's all pinned and glued together so I'd be dunking nearly his entire whole body into water which seems like a mess.

Uh beware of heating up pinned parts. Metal expands at a faster rate compared to plastic so they may be crack open the hinge. Lazy to do the research to know when it becomes a problem.

Tarn done up like Pexus would be fucking rad. He's the weak link in the MMC DJD chain. I would even take his flashback design where he had a tread cape to make it different enough to justify another Tarn figure.

I for one do hope CT is a completely different entity to TW because TW's QC is atrocious. About the only thing that is consistently good about their products is the paint, and even then, they released a completely different weathered green TW-C07G Devastator to how they initially teased it.

>>8796660

Yeah, so they can just hand them over to Cang again, who for all we know might just be one of the production companies you already mentioned making up yet another brand the way 01-Studio and Moon Studio suddenly came out of nowhere doing stuff Zeta once teased.
