Metroplex Eye Accessory from Dr. Wu

That's a bit of a stretch if ya ask me. There's a lot better things for 3rd party toy makers to make. If you wanna be obscure? How bout making some new crablegs for octopunch in crab mode. That would be nice.

Finally!!! Must have!!!

Nah, seriously, who'd buy this? Looks like April Fools Day is early this year.

WHY!?.... on the upside congrats on the most pointless accessory ive ever seen.

More pointless than Megatron's rubber ducky?

Theyre kidding right ???

I don't see any purpose to this.

WTF?!

What's next? My transformation cog?

Is there a demand for my eyes?

Who thought this was a great idea for collectors?

Hey, Takara made a clear plastic version of Hot Rod to commerate when he was in the glow of the Maxtix. Why not an accessory that a character held in one episode? We also need Metroplex's transforming cog, Galvatron's "Ultimate Weapon", everything Wheeljack ever made, and a "Quintesson Journal".

These guys are expecting too much from the fandom.

I'd give my right eye to get this accessory!

Oh wow! Now I can't wait for Dr Wu's Starscream sparkly ashes w/ crushed crown!

Hmmmm, oscure indeed...

Hey, you take that back. I thought Megatron's rubber ducky was great!

(Did a 3rd party company actually make one?)

Has anyone offered preorders of Dr. Wu's stuff?

If I wanted one bad enough, I could apparently just make a resin cast of an olive.

You wanna' do stuff that only appeared in one post-movie episode? Start with that 3-faced Quintesson who created the Transorganics, complete with mask covering the one face that the Dweller mangled, and make him in scale with the Impossible Toys Quints. THEN I'll pre-order two or three eyes and a Unicron head.

Great yes, but obscure. At least Metroplex's eye was an artifact used in the plot of an episode. The rubber ducky was just a (very funny) joke.

There was a canceled Botcon exclusive Rubber Ducky.

April fools is late this year.....

Seriously are they kidding? First a new head for FP's Protector and now this? Can't they make something completely original that's marketeable?

I know it seems silly, but some people will buy it. I think Wu is starting off slow to build more operating costs. Give him/them a chance, they might surprise us.

Better be careful - I don't think they come in pairs.

Apart from Unicron, who is actually going to buy this?

This is real? Who the hell's gonna buy a big eye?!

Would've been better off trying to make a Generations Scourge look missformed like in the episode burden hardest to bare.

Who the hell thought this was a good idea? I know there are a lot of 3rd party companies popping up with a lot of products, but I'm pretty sure the market isn't that saturated.

And this year's dumbest transformers accessory is... this

Are they G1 compatible?

Are you kidding? I'd love to have Megs' duck, especially his Transmetalized one from later in the series.

Can somebody please post a link of the infamous rubber ducky ??? I dont remember that.

Also is Dr. Wu a Wu-Tang Clan fan ???

Why bother? Just use the olive, it'll last about as long as said McGuffin did in that episode.

Yet again these guys seems to be pressing their luck with useless plastic accessories that no one should care about. Do they want people to buy this s**t or not?

Next.

BW Megatron's rubber ducky

And I still say Dr. Wu is a Steely Dan reference.

That seems likely to me.

OK I remember that in Beast Wars. I thought they meant in G1. So many episodes crammed in my head I get em mixed up.

On Dr. Wu: It's possible, however hardcore east coast hip hop heads often refer to The Wu-Tang Clan as "The Wu". Steely Dan is way before my time and Im 35. I guess the age of the company owner would determine whether he is making reference to Steely Dan or The Wu-Tang Clan. Too bad well probally never know.

Only 59.99 for a melted Scourge, too!

Ever thought of the possibility that this comes in a set with their Unicron head? It's the only way I see this make any sense what so ever.

And Astoria's necklace from 'The Girl Who loved Powerglide.

Some finished pictures of Metroplex's eye from Toyspie.

The 3rd party Transformers toy makers just keep on pumping out the best and most awesome products you couldn't even Imagen.
Have you ever looked at the Rocky toy-line with envious eyes and thought to yourself that you too wanted to accurately re-enact every scene from Transformers? Well, now you're one step closer to that thanks to DR WU!
TOYSPIE.com has new images showing the completed Metroplex eye accessory, and for all those who desperately wanted to know the scale of it, it's in scale with the Generations Deluxe class Scorge mold, it even fits with Classics deluxe Starscream!
You can click here or any of the mirrored images to see the original post containing even more exiting images of this accessory.



Stay tuned to seibertron.com for all your exiting Transformers related news and must have toys!

You gotta be kidding me....so it did actually get made......ridiculous.

Don't hate, celebrate.

If someone out there has longed for a replica eye, and this makes them happy, then God bless their soul. And we shall thank Dr. Wu for making their dream come true.

I think Dr. Wu seems to specializes in small cheap accessories in a tin you can buy on a whim. Not the $100 custom figures and armors/trailers. It's nice to see 3rd parties specializing.

I still cant believe he actually made this...

Dr. Wu, please return to the 36 chambers and bring back something better.

Buddy should start making cybertron set pieces and other stuff too, since hes going for such a niche market.

Why not bigger wings for Scourge not a damn eye.....

Thats a pretty boring way that it's posed right there, I usually extend it with the extra white inner parts of the wings, and then bend each wing on its hinge to actually make it drape down and around his shoulders a bit. If done right, the end of the shoulder should line up with the highest point of the wings edge.

can the Quintesson Journal be far behind?

I hope someone makes the world leaders the Seekers eject in that episode where the Airealbots go back in time and witness the creation of Optimus Prime. Now that would be awesome, or hey how about B.O.T. or that bird crap to put onto Starscream.

So what are the details, behind this? Is it being released anytime soon?
