Dr.Wu comes out with enough stuff, on a regular basis that i think a "catch-all" thread would be helpful. he even has exclusives that arent incredibly easy to find either. it all landing in one thread will be useful to me, i know that

ill kick things off with his new MP exo suit upgrades!

DW-P23 New Partners for preorder @ BBTS for $19.99

I was interested in the extra heads for the Exo suit after seeing how crappy the real Spike looks compared to this one, but holy f**k. No way am I paying 20 dollars for a pair of heads that are about as small as Legion Class heads, one of which I won't be even using.

20 bucks isnt a bad price to get a little head.

two new ones from wu! (BBTS listings)

DW-M03 Sword - Red for $14.99

DW-M03 Sword - Silver for $14.99

the FP dinobot swords are pretty kickass themselves, so i dont see the need for sword #1. but even though i like intimidators sword, this silver fella is just purdy. im in for #2!

More swords is always good. If TFSource weren't US-based and thus didn't have such silly shipping prices I'd buy all of Dr Wu's weapons. I might buy them anyway as one can never have enough weapons.

So ... they've photoshopped the G1 weapons onto the CW figures.

Damn these 3P companies are rushing to get add-ons and upgrades out for a figure that's yet to be released.

"For now, let the battle be here, on this strange primitive world. And let it be called... THE DEVASTATOR UPGRADE KIT WARS!"

I agree,

Photo shopping something as a proof of concept is just rather lame.

They could at least wait until they have 3d rendered greyscale prototypes.

We should probably have a catch all thread for CWD I imagin there's gonna be a lot of upgrades.

Its ironic that people who support this figure but wanted fixes are complaining about 3rd parties jumping the gun. (literally) Theres nothing wrong with renders if the company actually follows through with the project. We all know Dr. Wu comes through.

New weapons are all very well and good but what about replacement arms? Virtually the entire team is plagued with weird, hollow, thin, crappy looking arms (some of which don't even have elbows). Forget the guns and fix the bloody arms!

Moving parts isnt really Dr. Wu's thing. He is an accessories guy. I would be inclined to believe any limb fixes would more likely come from Perfect Effect, SXS or maybe even Fans Want It.

Also noticed for the first time in this teaser that Mixmaster's barrel hangs off his butt like a giant bug abdomen. That crap has to go. he is not Waspinator. a 3rd party might as well make a Mixmaster conversion set and see many body parts can be salvaged to give him a proper G1 cement Mixer mode. Im assuming the robot torso and thighs can somehow be attached to a new truck shell.

There's so much wrong with this set, that I imagine there will be a LOT of different upgrade kits in the coming months. :lol:

You might not want the fixes now, but when you have the figure in hand I have a feeling you will...

News Credits: 1 · Wed Jun 03, 2015 7:40 pm

I already have the fix for this piece of junk and it is called TFC Hercules.

By the time you buy the CW Devy and all the fixes, Herc will have been a lot cheaper.

Nope. Unlike a lot of people, I accept figures flaws and all. I don't feel the need to go out and get replacement parts.

I know that will be quite hard for you to comprehend, given that it's completely different to what you do, but seeing as you're trying to be more tolerable towards those who do things differently from you, I hope you can understand.

also don't buy many add on kits for existing figures.
