Squeaky joints are a common thing in 3P land. Nearly everything I’ve bought has it. The companies probably don’t optimize tolerances and just make everything on the tight side to save time testing.
The game subseries always seemed like filler to me. Maybe the disarray caused by ROTB getting rescheduled caused them to push these out half-baked? I dunno, all I have to base this on is the clusterhug of the ROTB toyline
Not having CAD files means nothing since those weren’t designed to transform and accuracy isn’t the biggest issue.
You don’t need the CG models to see things like Bumblebee’s chest being so wide that he has to raise his arms to the side to point them forward, Barricade’s kibble, Megatron’s...
\Not gonna lie, after seeing the rest of the game toys, I don't have high hopes. Seriously, these can't be that much harder than live action movie designs.
They already showed off Ginrai alongside the trailer but both in uncolored prototype form. This looks like it's pretty much finished but no sign of Ginrai. And yeah, they're selling each component of God Ginrai separately to milk the fanbois.
"Sir, our bio-organic weapon has been completed, however, despite being roughly humanoid in form and intelligent, it is too grotesque and gray to pass for human"
"Ever watch Ninja Turtles?"
"Perfection"
For me the biggest detractor is the fusion cannon. The new one looks like they cropped part of it off and enlarged the remaining cannon instead of undoing. Not sitting flush is also a sore point.
While I can see why people would be put off by it, I don't particularly mind. It's not much different from Marvel Legends putting out a Red Skull action figure or the hundreds of WW2 tank/plane kits.
What would do it for me is that any purchase of any of these directly funds the CCP since...
Yeah, they’re doing a Gustav to SS officer thing and an American battleship to robot wearing Lady Liberty’s crown. The Soviet one’s just a generic tankformer with an ushanka.
this is the only released one though
I dunno what I'd do with it but it's really damn cool. The retro war vehicles are interesting enough but modeling the robots after their country of origin is even better. Too pricy for my level of interest though.
