ALL THINGS TRANSFORMERS!!!!

@jedijim3002 The RP-46 legs were assembled wrong at the factory. You need to swap them. RP46 is a KO of Acoustic Wave which is why you see it lined up in Emgo's review (the official Acoustic Wave) but not in Ben's Collectibles review (the KO RP46).

See these posts from TFW2005 for how to do it. The second link is more detailed with pictures. It's an easy thing to do though. I did it on mine as soon as I got it in about 10mins or less:

Huh, I didn't know there were any FansToys KOs at all. A KO of an unlicensed, third party figure. . .nothing is safe!

It happens at times. I think there are other FansToys KOs out there but I can't remember which ones. Could be wrong though. There is also the KO of the TransCraft Bumblebee that was also improved slightly as well as upscaled by CyberEra.

Yup. Didn’t realize anyone had posted about this issue. Already fixed mine before I posted. Just wanted to share. Thanks.

hey, I know you've been asked this 1,000,000,000 times... but, those card holders -- where do you buy them? What style? Maker? So I can buy some to display my cards?

those are the Ultra Pro magnetic card holders. I bought a whole bunch off ebay a few years ago.

Had a blast reviewing Takara Tomy MP44 Optimus Prime! Come check it out! Next week I take a closer look at Hot Toys Iron Man Mark46 reissue with the updated base!

Some screen captures from my video:

I think that's fair. At least in the price/outcome ratio, cause you get so much stuff that goes back in the trailer and it's pretty overengineered.

New review from me too: Newage Toys H44C: Ymir AKA Marvel G1 comic deco Grimlock.

 

[jedijim3002]

Anybody seen the new Fans Toys Parkour AKA Cliffjumper? Looks great.

 

[EndoSickness]

Funny new review I put out yesterday: Super7's prototype Unicron!

 

[Spanbauer]

Well this took forever to arrive.

 

[Gipetto0812]

Incredible pics as always @Spanbauer he looks so frickin good!

Hi everyone had a chance to review MP57 Skyfire this week. Great figure all around! Next week I'll be looking at MP56 Trailbreaker.

A few screen grabs from my review:

 

[karamazov80]

I wonder if Takara would have done this if Fans Toys hadn't done it first.

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]

Well this took forever to arrive.

Newb question.
Where are the little figures from?
They look highly detailed for such a very small figure.
Skyfire looks amazing bytheway!!

Congrats, man. Hope you enjoy and great pics.
My buddy got him for his review and I got a chance to hold him in hand.
Sadly he didn't do it for me.
Sure, doesn't help I jumped off the MP train, but I dunno why...it felt ike a custom.
I cannot pinpoint why, it just felt that way for me.

Thanks. Not sure I can follow the 'custom' criticism; he's hefty and well-built. My only real complaint is the one shared by everyone else which is the clicks between the ratchets in the hips and feet are too far apart.

Thanks! Those little figures are included with this MP-57 Skyfire! They're intended to scale with his vehicle mode (which magically got much larger in the cartoon than his robot mode); haven't had a chance to do any vehicle mode pics yet but I'll definitely snap some of the mini figs when I do.

In the meantime here's more Skyfire pics in robot mode.

Fantastic pics, dude! Nailed the one with the sparkyl effekt bits. NICE!

I know, I barely can't follow that criticism myself. Think it's the way the plastic feels.
I know it's just me and I know it's weird. Dunno. Official have lost the notion of MP to FT to me.
I think that may be it.
