CrazyDevy's crazy Menasor chest and hip upgrades

Don't think anyone cares, but I'll do my part to make this forum active with 3rd party news. CD announced their latest (totally unnecessary) G1 add-on kit for ... Menasor? Yeah, I guess it's not done yet, for those who bought the last couple of upgrades for the guy ... how long ago?

I need to see them side by side with the original pieces because I don't recognize the differences.

The waistline is basically higher making Menasor look like he's wearing "granny panties".

Actually, they look to be about the same height as the original, just slimmer. Based off a random google Image search. The chest peice is wider, covering up the exposed connection gear.Might be "taller" too.

This is the problem with every single Crazy Devy ad ... you never get a really good look at the effect until it's in-hand.

Just not unique enough (or necessary) for me to really give a damn. CD gave Devy much needed articulation and more cartoon accuracy; they powered up Predaking, and maybe (just maybe) the add-ons for Omega Supreme were note-worthy. But this, or really any other Menasor upgrade released to date, is pretty disappointing.

If you're looking for missing pieces, these might be worthwhile.

I'm done with CrazyDevy when it comes to G1 upgrades. I decided I want my G1's to look like G1's.

That's the decision I landed at too. I have the Devastator upgrades on my childhood version. Probably taking them off though and keeping the Encore version sealed. Kinda always wanted a sealed set and now I do.

Yeah, these ones are pretty much useless, barring needed to complete e set. No 'upgrading' going on here.
Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.

I think the chest shield is actually useful since it covers up the unsightly connection ports. But with 3rd party companies making their own Neo G1 combiners, I'd rather wait for someone to actually make a whole new Menasor.
