At long last TFC Toys has finally revealed an image of Hercules fully combined using all six unique molds! The image mirrored below from their weibo page gives us a clear view of Hercules combined using prototype versions of all six team members, including Mad Blender (aka Mixmaster) who up until now has only been seen as a computer render.
Update: Added more images of the fully combined mode and Mad Blender in alt mode.
Wow that looks fantastic. I agree on the design of Mixmaster, it's not that great. The cab section is very boxy and there is no grille or bumper to accentuate the mode. The windshield is also oddly shaped and should definately be larger.
I do like, even more so than my G1. But only due to the added articulation points. However, we must remember that this is only a prototype. The true Final, may have a more G1-esque cab for Mixmaster and Scrapper as well. As I don't see it in this image. Do we know when preorders will being?
Pure Awsomenus he looks fantastic.... but im still getting the other not D as ive just forked out for both crossfire 1 & 2 upgrades and there not too cheap these days, It was either those 3 or two herc parts i think i chose the better option as not D 2 will fit very snugg with Supes and Maxi.
...............................Or did i make the rite choice BASTARDS!!
"Impressive, most impressive". The only thing that can cause this behemoth to fall like a house of cards is bad QC, IMHO. Other than that it's badass...'nuff said!
I agree on the chest wing, it would be nice if it were a bit bigger, but I can live with it. As for QC, if Exgraver is any indication then I'm not concerned at all with QC. In my opinion it's more solid than anything I've gotten from FP (DIA Commander, City Commander, clear Protector armor and the infamous Thundershred which had misaligned parts/tabs on mine ).
It looks like it's going to be even taller than I expected, which is a bonus.
But please reconsider putting a visor on him. The head flat out sucks. Everybody has a G1 version of Devi and nobody wants a remake of the original toys crappy head.
I don't think the head "sucks", but I agree; it'd be nice to have the visored version. Maybe as a seperate piece?
The completed prototype looks really awsome. I wonder how big it'll be in comparison to the maketoys version ... a little Photoshop work may very well answer that question ...
I definitely have no regrets on getting this now. I like that it will be bigger than a leader class when combined, that is how gestalts should be made.
Originally, I promised myself I'd never get another 3rd party figure again after what happened to my Shadow Warrior (Frenzy/Rumble from Perfect Effect, for those who forgot). After seeing this, if I was $1000 richer, this would be bought on sight. This would probably be the only 3rd party figure I'll ever buy after Shadow Warrior.
I'm really glad I committed to getting this, although some would think I should be committed instead...Design is excellent and quality is there in what I've seen so far.
I'm still torn between this Devastator and the MakeToy version. The MakeToy Devastator looks more G1 accurate, but I don't know if I like the robot modes (from what I can see through the blur). I can't afford both, and I'm afraid that if I don't make a decision soon, the one I want will be sold-out before I get a chance to buy it.
