Figured I'd create this thread, seeing as how so far I think all discussion has been part of the Rise of the Beasts thread.

Let's get going!

Main reason I started this thread was because I got my Scourge, cheetor, and G1 Megatron!

Scourge is absolutely awesome. I love him so much. With the exception of some missing trophies, he is nigh perfect. I adore him. He is great!

Cheetor is also pretty solid. Feet are a little small, but he is still neat and lithe!

G1 megatron is also super awesome. The diecast adds so much weight to him, he has some heft. Plus, I like all the accessories, the lightsaber and mace are particularly nice. And the rusty weathering brings the whole thing together wonderfully.

Have some pics

If anyone is curious, the Super7 guys scale pretty well with Yolopark items

I got my Rhinox, who included the Prime weapons pack. I think Rhinox looks awesome. And the maximals look good together. Also, Prime really needed those weapons.

While Apelinq did not have a robot mode in the movie, there was a fan design for one and Yolopark will be using it as a basis for their officially licensed Apelinq mode kit/figure. They are going all out on this one by having extra weaponry, a lengthier model kit experience, and a magnetized base. You can even choose to give Apelinq extra hair or not. If you want the lowest price, the figure can be ordered from their website. Shipping isn't cheap though. BBTS is also importing this model kit, if you prefer to shop with them, but that inflates the price to $90.

How likely will the fan who conceptualized the bot mode be credited in some way?

Probably none since the fan is likely a profesional that's been compensated, otherwise companies don't typically make a big deal about outsourced designers unless they're a big name.

I'm more curious what this means for the upcoming leader version since this is being called an exclusive design.

The upcoming leader is why I canceled the DNA upgrade kit for Takara Primal. I am expecting Primal with just a new ape head there.

As for this, this looks amazing. I have it up for preorder on BBTS right now, but I may switch to Show-Z once it comes in stock, they were $10 cheaper on the Prime figure and free shipping on any order there is great, plus the points.

Seeing this made me want to have the dna design dk-48 ship already. It's now 3 months late. I would have loved to compare it to this since this one looks cool!
