Yeah, supposing between $50 and $90 is a fair price. (ie. deluxe size is between scout and voyager) I wouldn't feel bad paying that...

But yeah, mostly was just jumping in to say $200 wasn't fair for the deluxes... :D

Oh no no. I was saying they I'd pay that price for an Overlord figure that was Mini MP Prime size.

Apart from the tank tracks on the back of the forearms and the fact that he is a tank, I really don't see the comparison to Warpath. Still looks **** hot though.

Yeah, I didn't see the resemblance until I looked at the feet. I think this is a kind-of re-skin like they did with Inferno/Grapple. Head sculpt and surfaces change, but transformation remains the same.

Been waiting for this since childhood. I do believe I owe I-Gear a sexual favor now. And it's absolutely reasons like this that I support third parties for giving fans special and looooooong-desired wants where Hasbro and Takara never so much as pretended to have an interest.

I-Gear Wreckers update, Impactor and upcoming characters

Postby Dead Metal » Wed Jun 15, 2011 11:38 am

Motto: "Don't do drugs, beer's cheaper anyway!"
Third party and KO toy producer iGear have updated their Facebook profile with new images regarding their upcoming Wreckers figures. It looks like iGear are fans of LAst Stand of The Wreckers, because, well just look at the following image showing their upcoming projects:
Image
Yes we've seen most of them before, but this does show us that they are planing something for Perceptor, Springer Twin Twist and Topspin. Also that Impactor, or Presser, is in fact the next figure to be released since Kup has already been done in form of their Kup 01 head.

Also they have new images of their upcoming Presser, or Impactor, figure:

The only way a Has/Tak equivalent would measure up was if they decoupled size class and complexity from their budget lines. For instance, if they put a voyager budget into a legends size toy, they could probably meet Perfect Effect with ease.

Man... I don't even know most of these guys and I'm drooling.

God I hope their Springer sucks (seeing as I forked out for FansProject's). Although if it's going to homage his LSoTW incarnation then I'll probably have to go for it anyway. I'm very glad they're doing Twin Twist and Top Spin too. Was worried they were going to get left behind.

I am slightly worried that iGear are promoting all these different figures (Minibots, Ironhide and Ratchet, The Wreckers) and all we're seeing is pic after pic of concept art. Would like to start seeing some full-bodies prototypes of The Wreckers and the rest of the Minibots.

My only fear is that they'll get busted by HasTak and not finish one (or more) of their projects.

While I am concerned about their Minibots, Ironhide and Ratchet, I can't see Hasbro being bothered about the The Wreckers. There's no way they were going to produce figures based on characters from a comic alone.

Hmm. I might be interested, if I didn't know it's going to be beyond my budget. If iGear could match FP's prices, I'd be all over their recent stuff. Even if it is a bit more KO.

I just hope the quality control is better than the Kup heads were. Of coarse, I think the problem was directly related to the cygar being fuzed to his mouth as opposed to being molded together. Then again, I'm the only person this seems to have happened to. :roll:

That aside, Impactor is a must for me. Drift got friggin lucky, but Impactor does not have the benefit of being a "Space Samurai". To be honest, the parts of him that are knocked off from Warpath already kinda looked that way on his original design.

Now we're complaining about PARTS being knocked off? Seriously? It's not even parts in itself, it's about parts that transform the same way. It's called using a "similar transformation scheme". If the engineering works, why is it a crime to if they don't re-invent the wheel? And it only punctuates how HasTak totally could make this guy in budget.

yup. There are only so many ways to make a car or tank shaped thing become a humanoid robot shaped thing. Hell most of the cars in G1 had one of maybe 3 different transformation styles.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

G1 cars either had front-end of car for chest or roof of car as chest. Similar transformation I can deal with. Blatantly stealing designs worries me. Keep in mind I don't care if someone makes money from Has/Tak work, what DOES worry me is Has/Tak getting pissed and making a move to stop the 3rd party revolution. I love me some 3rd party products and I don't want some greedy company ruining it for the others and ultimately, us fans.

I can deal with iGear borrowing parts from HasTak. What is the likelyhood of HasTak giving us an Impactor figure as good as this? At best, we would have gotten a retool of Warpath. Instead, we get a (mostly) original Impactor that does him justice.

3rd party toymakers are only a problem when they blatantly copy designs and steal profits from the real developers. I don't think they're doing that in this case. I'm glad iGear is finally turning it around.
