Theres more than that. The NotHotspot's knees don't tab correctly, the red plastic is a bit meh, and Victorion's braformer is upsidedown unless you force it in a configuration it's not meant to be in.

So another thing nice about this 4-pack >>5682030 is that it has Undertone in colors close to (but still far from) the show model.

In RID season 2, Undertone is is Ratchet's new mute friend, because his old mute friend is no longer mute.
>>
>>5682549
The knees may not tab in correctly but Pyra Magna doesn't actually need them to since the joints are so firm they act like a double joint like most people thought the mold's did for a while. So as a result she just kinda naturally stands taller than Hot Spot or Onslaught.
The only reason you'd know Rust Dust is "upside down" is because the reeeeally small tampo insignia is upside down. Otherwise it looks alright.

As for the plastic, I didn't feel anything wrong with it at all. I really wonder what ridiculous standards people have for 'cheap plastic' these days.

Is there a third-party version of this somewhere for less than $15? Or, is there another stand with a similar post? The one that came with my MP Tracks sheared off. I was able to get the peg out, but the stand is pretty worthless without the peg, which is pretty difficult to glue back on.

Robot Kingdom has them for $5.90, but it costs about the same in shipping, whether purchasing one or several.

Then couldn't they have evened it out symmetrically where the forearms themselves are solid but the chunks on the outside are hollow? Would have helped shape the arms better and used the same amount of plastic.

Nope, would have made too much sense.

My nigga.

Anyway, you have a lot of really nice pieces, but you really need more breathing room. I'd say the Megatron shelf looks the nicest and most cohesive since it

The prototypes/ test shots really need their own display. They're too special jst to have them drowned out with everything else. Try and get a different cabinet and give it something of a museum display look. Space them out, maybe display them with the final release version, and even get some nice printed tags to give some info.

Maybe try to balance out the colors by doing sort of a gradient thing? like, group them all by colors on each shelf. Then with the shelves with two factions, have it so that it fits in a pattern.

Basically like little info tags like you'd see in a museum display piece(for example; "Beast Wars Optimus Primal, '96 Kenner: Test shot Acquired_____). Maybe add some small print-outs of concept art, too, like this Megatron piece. I'm not sure how many people you have seeing your display regularly, but it could add some nice class to it and make it feel like a good conversation piece. It may be a bit pretentious, but they are one-of-a kind(or little more) items, so they are, in a sense, history pieces.
>>
>>5683064
That's some cool concept art. The tm2 megatron prototype I have has the little driver in his chest like shown.
>>
>>5683004
Put some in storage or get another display unit and have one for shoulder-to-shoulder boring junk and another for posed stuff.

I keep most of my stuff boxed up in the closet and switch them out with my at-work desk and display in my living room every few weeks.

I wholeheartedly agree, when I got him in hand I couldn't stop thinking "This is what 'Masterpiece' feels like', there was something about him that felt so damn RIGHT, it sucks that the pictures never captured that.

Love the figures, hate the display. I'm not really a fan of that cabinet. Looks like something my grandma has. Also, try to make the poses a little more dynamic. Use risers and Tamashii stands. Finally, display some in alt mode for variety.

I use acrylic risers and Tamashii/flight pose stands and it's made a huge difference.

it seriously takes 2 screwdrivers and 10 minutes to fix the ratchets.

>>

You missed the other part:

>and added some locking tabs for combiner mode.

Ratchets I don't have to fix and a more solid overall combiner is what I want. If they can't deliver that I'll just have to nab the CW version.

And hey, maybe they could make him a duocon. I mean, it's possible, since they could THEN re-use the modified duocon body for Liokaiser, right?
>>
>>5683464
What do you mean locking tabs for combiner mode? The hip ratchets stabilize when you've fixed them.

The shoulders on mine are hard enough, and they have a tab under the blue foot thing to lock into the red shoulder.

You need to shave plastic on the foot so it flexes down enough.

I'll post pics tomorrow when I've got time
>>
>>5683518

Some parts move in combiner mode that shouldn't be moving, at least, in the reviews of Skylynx I've seen.

The ratchets are actually really fucking easy to fix. I'm actually okay with the lack of a few locking tabs because it gives his shoulders some butterfly joints and doesn't actually look unnatural. A little floor polish makes them actually sturdy too so it's added articulation for no real cost.

I always liked the double Headmaster gimmick for him which is probably why I'm actually going to buy him despite the fact that he's pretty barebones with no weapon or the hip guns of the original.


Hopefully, the leaked sheet with the 179.99 MSRP is accurate considering the price that guy bought it at was like $260. Takara's release goes for about $200+ but it has the Master Sword and a smaller version for Fortress. Though, given how big he is, the shipping will probably pretty expensive.

It's literally of no benefit to the kids that they chose Headmaster guys to only make heads of, while making full Headmaster toys of non Headmaster characters. They kids would be equally satisfied with Apeface as a Voyager and Alpha Trion as a Headmaster with a rideable lion vehicle.

You're saying the photo is trying to make the transformation look exciting. In a way that implies that a simple transformation is a bad thing. This is further affirmed by the comment of not even a paint job can fix that. As if it was something that needed fixing. It's a complain at its very core.

Seems I'm late with the news the fellow aussies...actually spent $360aud on fort max and found nothing but disappointment, as noted by here>>5683877 and here>>5683930 but no one posted his word for word which I'll do just for fun.

>I'll be real metroplex is the better toy, there's too much of him in Fort Max's design and it hurts the quality, playability and makes you feel like your transforming him wrong a lot of the time.
>I really thought fort max was gonna have more guns, he doesn't even have the wrist gun that metroplex has. The back of the hand guns I can kinda forgive but when metroplex already had the gun? Weird choice hasbro.
Also I would gladly sacrifice the sounds in base mode to be able to have those hip guns. He just looks and feels a lot smaller than metroplex. For a guy called Fortress Maximus, I'm not getting that from his toy. The original had way more features in base mode than his updated counterpart.
>Cerebros's shoulders are held in by two small tabs that pop out constantly due the rest of the joints being too tight I'm already starting to get some stress marks in the plastic and I got him yesterday.
>I love this toy because I love the character and the line that he's going to be a part of and I was always a headmasters fan, it's just to me this whole figure screams missed opportunity. He's a great toy but when compared to metroplex comes up short in all three modes.

...so I'm going to be smart and wait for a sale, current objective is $98aud and below, which is what I paid for my metroplex back in the day.

When he mentioned the cerebros shoulder coming out I actually assumed it was the balljoint in the forarms but no its the upper arm into the shoulder assembly, which is annoying but kinda fits the fact he's just a giant kids toy.

Because you can just shove that shit back in easily, that said sounds like its TOO easy to do it.

>>5684225
As much as I love takara's work you're getting the same exact figure with a different paint job, unlike legends blur to TR blurr its not a big significance between the 2

If you badly want him I'd reccomend waiting for whatever one first gets a price cut, there will be 3p swords coming, and unless the SDCC is 65% chromed it won't be worth the scratch marks
>>
>>5684222
It really shouldn't be that hard, just make pic related and give it articulation and ability to become a base and a already half assed weapons platform. But, instead, he'll probably be made with the pulling of double duty in mind as scorponock so he won't look like much of anything.. Sucks.
