Anyone else wish these 3rd party companies would increase the size of some Liscensed TF toys

Anyone else wish these 3rd party companies would increase the size of some Liscensed TF toys.

My current list of increased liscensed hasbro/takara TF toys I'd like to see these 3rd party TF toy companies create is as follows: (1) classics 2.0 deluxe galvatron make it a $27 usa Ultra sized TF toy. (2) Classics 2.0 deluxe sized Cyclonus make it voyager sized TF toy. (3)Titanium 6 inch Rodimus Prime make it a leader sized 9.5 inch sized TF toy. (4)Titanium 6 inch G-1 Scourge make it a $27 usa Ultra sized TF toy. (5)Titanium 6 inch G-1 Ultra Magnus make it a $27 usa Ultra sized TF toy. (6)Classics 1.0 deluxe Grimlock make it into a voyager sized TF toy. (7)Beastwars 1997 deluxe sized Tigertron toy make it into a voyager sized TF toy. since tigertron was shown way bigger than cheetor in the cartoon. while their at it,do a repaint into ravage colors.

Similar to what KO Bootleg companies do. by increasing or de-creasing the sizes of liscensed TF Toys made by hasbro & Takara.

The problems with KO Bootleg companies increasing or decreasing the TF Liscened toy sizes. Is most of the time these KO Bootleg toy companies go the cheap route by using much cheaper plastic quality/materials. they often take away features,gimmicks & parts. most of the time they make the toys loose & take away detail sculpt in the faces & other areas.

I kinda want the 3rd party TF toy companies to get into the business of increasing & decreasing liscensed TF toy sizes. like IGEAR did with Faith leader by making him a smallert scale version of the masterpiece MP-01 Convoy/optimus prime.

I'd imagine these 3rd party TF toy companies. would use superior plastic quality/Materials. not take away any gimmicks,features ,parts,detail nor poseabilty.

I could envision that these 3rd party TF toy companies when they either increase or decrease the liscensed TF toy sizes. these 3rd party TF toy companies would make improvements to make the toys more superior. like add more poseability,different more accurate head sculpt. add more paint apps/decals. add more accessories. perhaps use stronger plastic quality.

So what do you think? do you like or dis-like the idea in this thread.

Do you have a list of Liscensed TF toys made by hasbro/takara that you always wished were made bigger or smaller. please list your list in this thread.

I've been thinking recently about Galvatron. I recently added a reissue Powermaster Optimus Prime with Apex Armor to my collection and one of the things that bugs me is that the closest thing I have to a screen-accurate nemesis (the eHobby exclusive TFU version of the Classics Galvatron mold) is far too short to even be considered remotely close to scale. I've seen this Galvatron, but he's way too light in color and the mold itself isn't very screen accurate (especially that head).

An upsized version of the Classics Galvy would really make my day, especially if done in the eHobby color (even though it's translucent, they really nailed the shade of purple).

have you tried the 2 different sized energon Galvatron toys. the hasbro leader sized energon galvatron toy. or the super link takara voyager sized galvatron toy. these might make decent stand in's next to your apex armor PMOP. until hasbro/takara either create a MP Galvatron toy or a main line/sub line galvatron toy in the bigger size classes like voyager,ultra or leader size.

These would still just be KOs... High quality doesn't take them from KO to 3rd Party figure. But whatev. I could do without, though. Galvatron could maybe use more size, but he looks good with Cyclonus and Scourge so I'm fine with him as is.

I don't think there is any way a 3rd party company can sell a voyager sized Galvatron with good plastic for $27.

I use the $27 usa Ultra sized description to describe the TF size class that are bigger than voyagers. examples: armada megatron,classics 2.0 onslaught.2.0 powerglide,2.0 silverbolt,energon scorponok.

Because the word "Ultra" use to refer to beastwars $20 toys. in all honestly the beastwars $20 ultra sized TF toys are way smaller in size scale compared to armada megatron,2.0 onslaught,2.0powerglide,energon scorponok.

Also to further add coal & confusion,armada & energon called the todays voyagers & ultra's by other names like max cons & megas

I also use the $27 price & list the words USA after it. because some TF internet fans in other countries were saying that toy doesn't cost this much in my country.

I know it gets a bit confusing. but this is what I do to describe toys like 2.0 onslaught.

I'm not gonna bother defending this & will ignore all replies counteracting my theories on this reply. due to some will try to make jokes & flame baits. I won't reply & argue this theory of mine in this reply. I'll just accept my opinion is different & so are others regarding the voyagers & $27 usa ultra sized TF toy sized/priced debates.

I can envision some saying the Beastwars/beastmachines $14.99 mega's became the new $20 voyager due to price inflation. some will say the Beastwars/beastmachines ultras because the higher priced $27 ultra's due to the price inflation thru the years. I disagree & want no part in these reply back & forth counter debates. as they get no where & only give threads negative hate vibes.

The majority of the beastwars & beastmachines $14.99 mega sized TF toys. lack the height,width,mass & extra parts/pieces that todays Cybertron,animated & movie verse $20 usa voyager sized TF toys had.

the average Energon,Cybertron & classics 2.0 $27 usa ultra sized TF toys are around 7 to 8 inches tall in robot mode. their much taller,much wider,more mass/bulky & have more parts+pieces than the average beastwars/beastmachines $20 ultra sized TF toys.

Not half bad :). Surprisingly there were 0 on ebay, but I found one on Amazon, though it did cost me almost $200. I think it's worth it though, because my Powermaster Prime really needs a nemesist :P.

Thanks for the tip :D!
