Mayhem Transformers Discussion: United We Shelfwarm

[unluckiness]

Cang TOys was that company making the weird gundam-esque Volcanicus. The aesthetic on top of the size made me pass on their release. They recently announced that all their releases will come out at their previous MP Scale, roughly Voyager-ish and Legends. Local store put up preorders for the Voyager stegosaur

Damn, It's actually cheaper than a Hasbro Voyager. I may actually be in for this despite the weird Gundam heads.

BBTS lists it for $50. Apparently early versions will also include a chibi version, but they only have a silhouette picture of it.

It comes to about $32 at our local stores. I guess shipping it across the world impacts the price. I don't like the designs for $100+ a pop but this cheaper size class appeals to me.

Why does Megatron keep mammaries on his shoulders?



In any case fixed the chipped weathering. Really hard to tell it was damaged.

 

[Haywire]

Why does Megatron keep mammaries on his shoulders?

To paraphrase Star Trek 6:
"Not everyone keeps their mammaries in the same place, Captain."

 

[unluckiness]

Come to think of it, weren't there like baby Decepticons in the Africa scene?

I was reminded of a joke recently:

My wife asked why I got my CCW license.
I said, "for when the Decepticons attack."
She laughed.
I laughed.
The toaster laughed.
I shot the toaster.
It was a good day.

I'm starting to wonder if hasbro forgot they need to make Generations Omnibots for me.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

We'd probably have them by now if Generations stayed overwhelmingly G1 based, but Legacy changed the game. They were running out of G1 show characters, but now they're just scratching the surface of show characters.

They wouldn’t even shell out for new Jumpstarter molds. I doubt the idea even crossed their minds

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

When you're even lower on the totem pole than the Jumpstarters, you know you're a nobody.

Topspin was a new mold, it was Twintwist who shared the tooling!

 

[unluckiness]

It’s still a 7-8 year old mold at this point.

 

[unluckiness]

Decided to look at stuff online to see if I wanted anything. MPG Ginrai doesn't look too bad. $140? Sounds reasonable.

Oh, it's $140 for the base robot only release. Jesus, $300 for the whole thing.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

That much and it still has those goofy arms in trailer mode. No previous attempt at the design has managed to have that problem, so it's quite a feat.

 

[unluckiness]

The arms aren't so bad compared to the blue neckplate. At least they're supposed to be there even if they ideally should collapse down or something. The neck panel's just inexplicable and an eyesore. If you're charging $300 for the set, least you could do is hit the thing with an airbrush for a second

I'm kinda waiting to see how Godbomber turns out before I invest too much interest in this mold. Kinda hope it is better designed than the titans return combination.
