Hi to everyone at Sibertron!
I'm here to solicit your help in my search for the 'best' versions of the Masterpiece Transformers.
Specifically, I need help choosing between all the variants and updates/remakes.
If I could buy them all, I totally would, but since I can't I'm aiming for the best examples yet made.
You can disregard unusual colors/materials, I'm just looking for the highest quality versions that have a strong resemblance to the G1 cartoon character designs.
Here are the characters I'm most interested in - I think a few of these may only have one Masterpiece version, but not knowing how many versions exist is half my problem, so I figured it couldn't hurt to everyone I really wanted.
Optimus
Megatron
Soundwave
Skyfire
Starscream
Bumblebee
Ironhide
Grimlock
Shockwave
Wheeljack
Prowl
Hot Rod/Rodimus
BW Megatron
BE Optimus
Your insights are greatly appreciated!
About me:
I'm new to the site and haven't been a collector in a long time but I have loved Transformers since I was about 4 years old and have had a strong interest in the Masterpiece collection ever since it was introduced.
Unfortunately, I've been pretty consistently broke my entire adult life, so I haven't kept up much with the toy industry. A few months ago I got attacked in a home invasion, so I moved..and the day after I got into my new apartment, I broke my leg. Then a few nights later there was a mass shooting a couple blocks away from me and everything all around me started burning...literally, I'm in the middle of a wildfire right now.
A couple days ago I lost my balance on my crutches and broke a finger...and somewhere in there I decided I was going to buy myself a
for Christmas, because screw all this, I need an awesome toy.
