ALL THINGS TRANSFORMERS!!!!

Waiting for better official pics/videos before I even begin to judge Ironhide,learned my lesson from the last few reveals which at first looked subpar but ended up being spectacular.

I wish they'd show a color version with the clear chest to see how it compares to Bade Cube's new collector’s editions of their insecticons.

I hope that these insecticons. will be in scale with other mp series

Pretty excited about Beast Wars Masterpiece figures. I'd definitely get Dinobot and Inferno.

I was never into the beast wars show. it was ok but nothing like the g1. it got better towards the end when they were mixing in the g1 stories that was cool. the character`s they I couldn`t believe how small they looked to the g1 character`s

All Fans Toys figures are in scale with the official MP line.

Now that my initial excitement has worn off a bit, I think that Ironhide does look a bit odd, proportionally. Like he doesn't look quite bulky/stocky enough somehow. Maybe if the head were slightly larger/wider.

Courtesy of talyn of TFW2005, here's a comparison with the animation model; his head is definitely woefully undersized, which is the first thing I noticed about him. Hopefully it's not too late for them to make it a little bigger. I also wish they'd paint the panels that form the sides of his torso black to match the shoulders; too much red on him currently, and I'm pretty sure the outward-facing side of those panels in robot mode end up inside the van in alt mode so painting them black on one side shouldn't be an issue.

Regardless, Takara Tomy's Ironhide definitely blows the 3rd parties out of the water. He doesn't have that "head and arms poking up from behind a windshield" look that this one suffers from, the windhield and shoulders don't feel grossly oversized like so many of them do, and the waste, legs and feet are superb. I'll likely hold out for the inevitable Ratchet repaint though; he was the figure I had as a kid and there's too many dominantly-red Autobots in the Masterpiece series already.

I diffentley want a better ratchet and iron hide then when I was a kid

I think any Ratchet that came out after that one was "better"

You're gonna make this guy cry.

G1 Ironhide's toy always creeped me out as a kid.

Ironhide is looking good but I'll wait to see more before I get all hyper Excite

Just seen TFS-Express have popped up Fans Toys Hound for pre-order at a rather nice £55

Fans Toys FT-15 Willy - TFs Express

I'm not too sure, I've not used them before but I think they should be on a par with other UK retailers

Hopefully we'll get some more news on a reliable release date soon

no... honestly it's a very tricky setup to get it to work. it requires completely breaking down the figure from the waist up.... well to do it right, that is. if you want everything buried inside the figure so you don't have wires hanging out anywhere. if you look at his panel where his head is attached... if you completely break it down... the posts that it swivels on... you use a micro drill bit and go thru to the post, then drill down thru the post then run the micro leds to the eyes.

these pics will give you an idea of what's involved...
