Masterpiece MP-56 Trailbreaker

Can't say I'm a fan. Torso looks terrible.

finally got scoop

 

[The Lawgiver]

I finally decide to get around to ordering SG starscream and predictably he's fucking sold out and scalped onebay for 90 dollars. I ALSO end up seeing a fuckload of amazon listings outright going "KO version" of the shattered glass figures in general being charged atfucking 100-200 dollars. I fucking hate current year.

I've seen them still circulate for close to retail prices in smaller groups, mostly facebook and forum sales threads.
gotta remember that eBay is basically always the most overpriced route, it has such an easy system to see sold listings that people just look at that and bump it up further and further until you get the ludicrous prices ebay is infamous for.

Depending on where you live, Facebook marketplace is good for books, miniatures, and action figures. Not so much for CCG's though as the prices are overpriced.

I've gotten lotsa good TFs on Facebook, though I've had to forward most of it through my American friends, its still worth checking out if you're not in bumfuck nowhere.

This turned out way the fuck more accurate than I was expecting.

Metagate "Haiku" (AoE Drift)

and his "helicopter" mode.

Decent attempt by a new 3rd party company, but Unique Toys they are not.

Nice surprise
Fans Hobby MB-23 G1 Powermaster Dreadwing

 

[Victory Leo]

for as much as I love Masterforce I can't deny that besides Overlord and like... Goshooter, all of Fanshobby's attempts have been kind of hideous, and this one isn't any different, its so proportionally strange. it just looks really dated if that makes any sense, like something igear or fansproject would release back in like 2012.

Only issues I've ever had from their designs was with their Monsterbots. I found them to be too bulky and I wasn't a fan of the tramp stamps all over them. The bulkiness was mostly due to their legs with Flypro being the worst. It suits the toy, but not animation model. They also don't look good with some of the better looking Dinobots. After that their designs got a lot better and so far their headmasters don't have issues with their heads popping off like Hannibal does which has been the worst experience I've had with a figure from Fanstoys so far. I'm fine with dismantling a figure to work on joints, it's a different matter when you have a mechanism like that.

Not a fan of X-Transbots transformations and their constant QC issues but this doesn't look bad.
X-Transbots MX-37 Conan

X-Transbots MX-38 Nightingale


I prefer Fanshobby Minerva but this Nightbeat looks way better. Legs are unfortunate though. I'll probably get a second one to repaint as another character.

Speaking of Masterforce, this was a bit of a spur of the moment bid that turned out well.
these guys feel practically unplayed with.

[Anonymus Fluhre]

Not bad. Not a fan of some that translucent pink plastic though

 

[Victory Leo]

Really not a fan of those colors, I was thinking it would look more like this since they're calling it Black Convoy and even using the upside down g2 autobot logos like the show and toy.

 

[Anonymus Fluhre]

At least it's not hard to spray paint that translucent plastic. The rest is okay though. I'd like the teal to pop a bit more.

Newage Toys H44 Ymir
I like how the sword will double as the flame breath. Looks really good for it's size.
