If HasTak has only made one or two of a TF character toy & it was lacking. Then I have no problem buying a 3rd party toy of it.
Currently I think its smarter to buy the bigger 3rd party TF toys as the deals seem better.
I prefer to buy the bigger guys.
Mania King is a place holder for me. when something better & bigger gets made. I'll try to resell it & break even.
Price should factor in & be measured towards what your getting. if the math doesn't add up in my favor,then I don't get it.
I can overlook colors being shades off or wrong colors when the sculpt,size & articulation are high.
When a HasTak toy is already super exspensive. then the add on kit is more exspensive that the HasTak toy. this is a turn off. The upcoming YOTH Omega Supreme upgrade kit is a example of this.

I dunno. At the point you're paying $500 for Hercules, ~$440 for Feral Rex, and $380 for Menasor... $360 for Genesis doesn't seem awful.rpetras wrote:I'm not as in love with the Genesis figure, but I would like to have it as it is a pretty decent Omega.

Oh, quite correct. That's why I halfheartedly called myself a hypocrite. The difference is that Herc cost me $600 over the course of, what, eight months? Being able to distribute cost like that is highly appealing to me.

Devastator is my sincerest hope for the MP line. It's not entirely realistic, and may be somewhat far-fetched, but it's also not entirely implausible.

I don't think it's implausible at all. Considering that a lot of the MPs from earlier are basically enlarged versions of their G1 molds, with some detail tweaking thrown in, I doubt it would be a big problem for the designers to take the G1 Constructicon molds and enlarge them. The transformations would basically be the same, and then we would just have to connect all the pieces together. The later combiners are different, so there might be more issues with them, but Devastator is unique in the design of both the individual parts and the combined figure.

I agree with what you say about the existing MPs, but not the Constructicons. Personally I believe they could easily hold their own weight (Warbotrons Bruticus is going to be massive and looks like it has no problems) without any real difficulties.megatronus wrote:I don't agree with, well... any of that.
To the extent that MP Grimlock & MP Soundwave are similar to their G1 counterparts, they still have a large measure of unique engineering thrown in. For the other MPs, they are definitely, definitely not simply enlarged versions of the G1 figures. Those things are entirely re-imagined and re-engineered, and especially when talking about tiny G1 figures like the Constructicons, that re-imagining and re-engineering is 100% necessary.
As I see it, the problem with MP Constructicons are twofold:
(1) Engineering the gestalt to hold its own weight
(2) They can only be redeco-ed into one other character - G2 Devastator
But we'll see. Fingers crossed.
