I'm gettin sick of seeing this figure in the NEWS post. It's really not that good. ALL COLORED PLASTIC. NO PAINT. Boring.

Wow. Wow. Wooow. Jawdroppingly awesome. Why can't HasTak make something like this? If this were a MP transformer it would smoke everything. Pains me to say that, but its true -hah! Too bad on the price tag (80-100 for each guy?! *(%^&!!). If I ever quit Star wars collecting which I'm close to doing, i'd focus only on TF and this guy would be in my sights. But I absolutely don't have the budget for any figures right now. Wouldn't mind seein a video review of this bad boy.

There's plenty of paint on these infact. Probably just as much as official Hasbro figures. It's all in the details. Wouldn't make sense to produce figures in one colour if they're to be painted another. Pick one of them up and I think you'll be impressed.

I must say, this is looking pretty cool. These images have changed my perception of this set. Waiting until the second batch has proved advantageous because all of the minor QC issues will have been corrected. I will start checking TARGET, Wal-Mart, and Toys R Us for these today!

Sweetie, they're online only. You see, these are items that are not produced by either Hasbro or Takara, so both can and will stop regular retail stores from stocking them.

You have no idea what you're talking about. These figures are loaded with detail and have plenty of paint applications.

Agreed, that it is very detailed, yes, but using the slightly opaque plastic makes it look cheap. I think the molds are outstanding, don't get me wrong. But, the paint applications are minimal, using the coloured plastic as the basis of the figures colour scheme with a few panel highlights. Just like Hasbro does. For the money you pay, it should be nothing less than 50 percent paint. With even half detailed paint, this figure would be a site to behold but, alas, more cost cutting has produced a "could-be" awesome figure. It seems Hasbro has gotten people too used to A-grade figures with B-grade plastic....

Forget the gripes with paint - for the money people are paying there should be a lot more METAL parts.
But you know that ain't happenin

Totally! When did die-cast become so obsolete. Granted, if this thing had metal parts it would weigh a tonne, but the figures would be so much sweeter...

More like too expensive. It's a lost art nowadays.

Re: TFC Toys Hercules Fully Combined In-Hand Images
Why do people have so much hate for Hercules? It truly is a very sweek figure. Each bot has very nice design and detail and the transformations are fun and simple.

Yeah, you obviously haven't held one in hand. El Duque is right.
I've got NeckBreaker in my PoL. I'm shipping when Mad Blender hits.

Re: TFC Toys Hercules Fully Combined In-Hand Images
Completed my Hercules today. Fantastic figure! It's everything that I wanted when I was 5 years old. He just looks right. I think regardless if you go with Herc or Giant, you're going to be very happy. Hercules just hit my aesthetic better.
And you are really overrating die cast. I grew up with it, I'm happy without it in my toys today.

Re: TFC Toys Hercules Fully Combined In-Hand Images
this looks absolutely epic
on the topic of Structor: when he's in robot mode, those black pegs that end up on top of his shoulder, does anyone know what they're for?

Indeed, die-cast sucks and should just go away.

1st edition MP Prime without die-cast would be so weak though. The heft, sturdiness and overall feel of the metal used in that MP is excellent. All plastic G1 Tracks, Sideswipe (and Prime for that matter)?? Yuck. Blech

Unless I'm mistaken they're part of how the vehicle mode pegs together; the entire black part that the shoulders attach to rotates into different positions for different modes.wilcosu35 wrote:this looks absolutely epic

Shipped mine as well. Man, I can't believe it's almost complete! I've got a special place for him on my Classics-style shelf.
Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.
