    Studio Series discussion

    I seem to recall a livestream where they said the Buzzworthy stuff (Kup and Cliffjumper at the time) was at least in part an experiment in using opaque plastic rather than clear, to see how it would be received. I think the need for different molds isn't for clear vs opaque plastic, but for...

    Studio Series discussion

    I hope they make it a smaller pack at least. Three Deluxes will do, five is a big ask that's practically ensuring it languishes on shelves. DOTM Bee and Dino/Sideswipe vs Hatchet would be interesting (hard to picture demand for the early-wave Dreads). Or even a Voyager/Deluxe 2-pack of...

    Best figures of 2023?

    I was never a guy who "needed" Leader class Dinobots. The pre-WFC Voyager size was fine, gets the idea of power and mass across, doesn't take up too much space, better price. But I am very impressed with the Studio Series 86 dinos. The WFC onward internal line scale makes them seem enjoyably...

    Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see 40 years worth of Transformers!

    I'm absolutely sure this has been done better before, but this is mostly to note that I found an unexpectedly good deal on an X-9 late last year (just missing one barrel and the tail). Three Bodies Evolution.

    Generations Selects Appreciation Thread

    This is a ROUGH way to get this Hound. But Trailbreaker and Sunstreaker are fairly rare now. And Jazz is a fairly early SS86 release that's also getting hard to find. So at least these aren't terrible picks to get alongside. If this is a Buzzworthy style opaque plastic set, I'd be all over it...

    There's an 86 Arcee/ROTF Sideways pack? And at $5?

    Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see 40 years worth of Transformers!

    I go back and forth on this one so much. From most shots, especially a head on view, I really like it. But angled like this the proportions just reminds me so much of the Classics deluxe, which I don't remember very fondly.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    Part of me would prefer Wheeljack to have just been a Deluxe with an altmode Bee minifigure, but this is nice to have either way. Tidal Wave looks great, but I'm not able to find and house any more Titans at this point so I'll have to do without.

    I really wish LE Detritus had more of that sandy tan, rather than this somewhat pinker shade. I also wish he had a bit more paint on him, but that's a lesser issue.

    Studio Series 86 Appreciation Thread

    ...I get that that seems like a slam dunk of a decision, but it's not as if I ever even entertained the "no fiction, no toyline" option in bringing this up. I'm happy to have the toyline, especially as it's supplemented by capsules and Selects, and as it's grown to be a better mix. The UT, and...

    Studio Series 86 Appreciation Thread

    I was just reminded of the interweaving story they put in the Beast Hunters instruction booklets, which ended up being pretty cool in a way totally distinct from the show. That's good stuff.

    Studio Series 86 Appreciation Thread

    I mean, if it had been of similar quality and tone, it probably wouldn't have hit the spot anyway. It certainly didn't feel like a loss at the time it was revealed that Netflix passed on it, after what preceded it.

    Studio Series 86 Appreciation Thread

    Same, a bit. I've always wanted something along the lines of Cybertron, with a something-for-everyone angle that has a little of everything and homages everywhere. And to an extent the Legacy trilogy (as well as Selects) is bringing that, with mixed results. But it all falls kind of flat...

    Studio Series 86 Appreciation Thread

    Absolutely, or like you said, if this were a novel attempt that isn't just straight reusing remaining faithful to that concept. He's really, really not difficult. Even allowing for the extra steps and engineering involved in having him do more than plank under the trailer. I don't care about the...

    Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see 40 years worth of Transformers!

    I've gone back and forth on this and currently I'm of the mind to get an SS86 Ironhide (is anyone making a new "not dead" windshield?), and nonnef-upgrade the heck out of Earthrise/Galactic Odyssey Ratchet with better feet and repair bay stand bits. So I can have both molds (plus the Earthrise...

    Studio Series 86 Appreciation Thread

    I was always going to be willing to pay Commander prices for a full Rodimus Prime, however unfavorably he seems to compare value wise to the immense Sky Lynx etc. Whatever. And do like so much about it. But I'm with Coffee on this, the execution is maddening. Robot and base mode, great. Solo...
