ALL THINGS TRANSFORMERS!!!!

[dedguy]

To give an idea of what to expect between hand-painted proto and production sample, this is their Scourge. On the proto the paint is too glossy and kinda lumpy and messy. The production sample i much smoother with cleaner lines. Even has more painted detail.

That production sample is very impressive - have this on PO as BBTS. Looking forward to it

you need some Zoloworld MOTU protective cases for those carded MOTU Classics

 

[cr0w]

I don't care enough about em to get cases. I should sell em off, to be honest.

Devastator looks sooo good with MP's. Can't wait for the Unite Warriors Devastator!

I was going to comment on how jealous I was about your MOTU collection then I read that & nearly cried such a shame man...any reason why?

I wish I'd got into them as the prices for them are bonkers now but I'd still love to get a few at some point.

Awesome collection either way

I was on board for the entire line for the first two years or so, then they started releasing characters I just didn't really care about. I'm only into the vintage line that I grew up with, i.e. the original He-Man, Skeletor, Faker, etc. and the base characters. Most of the characters we started getting meant literally nothing to me, as I never had their toys as a kid. Then Mattel started their crap with including the Star Sisters in the sub and various other Digital River issues and I finally just changed my debit card and stopped the sub. I have everything released up to the Star Sisters pack, and that's enough for me.

Plus it didn't help that, as a more casual fan, anytime I went looking for info or discussion on the line the only other fans I encountered were, uhh....scary, to say the least. The combination of Mattel's suckery and the fanbase just ruined a lot of it for me.

Yeah, the extremely niche figures released, plus Digital River, plus wacko fans also kept me at arms length from the MOTU stuff, even though I was really into it as a young kid. Their animated style figures may rope me back in, though, if I can just avoid the other nonsense.

New pics of Masterpiece Ironhide are upon tfw2005 today. I believe Takara Tomy has to be using some kind of dark magic to get this van:

Wow! About time we get him. Awesome news.

If this is your first time seeing him, he also comes with a ship-ton of accessories based on appearances in the cartoon, and a plastic sled akin to the G1 toy (but not part of the vehicle mode) to store them all.

Nice, yup first time seeing it.

Loving all of the accessories. Going to be a great release. Now bring on Ratchet!

I really hope they reveal Ratchet before Ironhide ships, because it'll be hard to pass him up otherwise. I really only need one of the two considering they are the same mold, and I'm more partial to Ratchet personally.

Literally the exact same story here, except I sold mine off. I'm actually excited that Toy Guru is off the project and they are doing a Filmation sub-Subscription. Great time to jump back in.

On topic - I really love this CW Devastater. Even the clunk-factor of the individual robots added to the nostalgia value for me.

I've got a question for the TF MP gurus.

I got the first run of MP Red Alert and also recently bought the 2nd run and I noticed the first run has the "non-squinty" eyes and the 2nd run have the "squinty" eyes. Just want to ask if that is normal and not a KO? Thanks to the one who answers in advance!
