It’s a fantastic piece honestly. All of the BW MPs are marvels of engineering and detail. I love G1, but these are approaching 100% show accurate.
I did this with Megatron because reasons
This is honestly how PM OP should have been in the first place. It has all of the tooling necessary to make it work.
Damn it! My will is weakening and very tempted to say F it and get it. Does it normally drop this low or just a one off?
That’s the standard msrp, bro.
You might be able to find it cheaper at an import store like nin-nin or amiami. Though that is doubtful because usually import stores Mark up due to customs. You might find success on amazon.jp though. like @Optimus124 did with Megs getting it for almost $100 of msrp
I’ll keep that in mind for sure!
If you grab it Cheetor off of Amazon JP, it’s about $65 shipped. May be a few bucks more once you add exchange rate fees. Ultimately, it’ll save you at most $10 ordering from an overseas seller at this point.
The best time to order up is when the pre-order first starts. Great thing is that Amazon does not charge you until shipped. The one thing different about Amazon JP vs other import sellers (e.g. AmiAmi and Hobby Link Japan) is that as people pre-order it, the price tracks up towards the MSRP. For example, MP-44 (Prime V3) is 54,000 JPY (about $480 US) at full retail. Pre-ordered it the day that it was announced; the price was 33,426 JPY ($299 USD). As of today, the price is listed at 44,629 JPY ($380 US). When the figure is release in August, my cost (after shipping and exchange fees) will be around $320. BBTS and the like are selling it for $449.
So i just stumbled a pond this youtube channel and saw this
He’s great. He does a lot of gifs on tfw2005.com and occasionally uploads these G1 recreation. I’ve known about him for a while.
I’ve posted a couple in the lounge in the past.
Oh Nice.
I just like how this guy got stop motion animation to work well with the original G1 animation.
Good thing for us Sunbow and Marvel known to cheap out on the frame rate, making theses kinds of edits slightly more easier.
TFW speculated he could be the Seacon leader Snaptrap.
He has a double barreled gun and sword so it could be possible.
Holy crap, new g1 reissue minibots!
Was at wal-mart and doing my usual scan through the figures section while i was at it. Saw some new guys: G1 Gears & Warpath! Hadn’t heard about them till now.
Been around for about a month of two. Bee actually has a remolded face.
Yeah i know about Bumblebee, Swerve, Tailgate, and Outback. Had those for a while. This is the first time i’ve ever seen Gears & Warpath though.
I think I am getting back out of CHUG (at least for the Decepticons). I don’t plan to get this, but looks awesome. Hopefully, an MP release happens with this character.
I really need to refocus again. Sometimes I look at the shelves and think that I honestly don’t need/ want this. There are parts of the CHUG line that I really enjoy. However, many of the Decepticons I have because you “need” the opposite side represented. MPs are completely different as they are the nostalgia factor in physical form.
Not a transformer in the traditional sense but just a really fucking cool looking figure.
I’m tempted to preorder it. The “yamaguchi” style revlotech figures are really nice. I have the Psylocke one and it’s fucking gorgeous.
Oh I done pre-ordered that LOL
I want this ecto Prime…
The are squeezing the water out of that mold.
What do you mean? They still need to do a “dark awakening” version of it, and a Generation 2 repaint, etc, etc.
They’ll never stop! Mwhahahaha.
