Think these are interesting. KFC Wreckgar seems to have more 1986 Cartoon-toy sculpting details than the DX9-UT Wreckgar does.

Wondering what toy scale these toys are. Since it's KFC, Hoping they are Voyager or Ultra scale.

Glad I held off on buying DX9-UT Wreckgar. While I liked the Motorcycle sculpt thought the robot mode looked kinda bland. The face is too undersculpted.

Now at least I have more choices. To decide if I want the DX9 or KFC version. Gonna wait till KFC reveals almost everything about this Wreckgar toy.

Holdup, I thought KFC changed their logo and their names to KTC? Or was that all just some mega BS?

23cm tall and MP10 can ride them.

Sanford is based on Greasestain. Wastor Delta is based on Wastoid Gamma.. Both were background Junkions in the 1986 movie.

More Junkions to come.

Thanks for the info.

23cm translates to a 9.1 inch tall robot. Seems like this toy is in MP Scale. Think the MP scale seems right as Wreckgar was the height of Rodimus Prime in the cartoon.

I'll probably be buying this.

BTW, Love the name, Sanford, For a junkion. As it seems like a retro throw back to that, Sandford and Son tv series.

These look decent . Far too tall for classics even for my love of voyager sized figures .

I would consider buying a couple for my MP collection .

Wreck-gar being the size of Rodimus Prime? Well ... maybe just under by a hair. This seems scaled more towards the latest Springer, but I don't see a problem mixing and matching what you like.

Well, it's impressive, but I still like United Wreck Gar. Still, if these ever go on super clearance it might be fun to add them to my Junkion forces. It's fine if they all look a bit different.

A Junkion named Sanford? LOVE IT.

These MIGHT be 3P MPs I'd buy.

Background characters, so they don't need to be extremely screen accurate, and they look pretty cool.

Oh wow, that's kinda big, which is a shame as those look awesome. Might go for these and some HasTak Junkions as my generics and the UT guy as Wreck-Gar.

Well if it's KFC, you know it's going to be junk so why not make it junk literally ? :lol:

I laughed, but I must disagree on their overall quality. Their Steeljaw is well made as well as their Ramhorn, not to mention their Beastbox, but Tempest really blew me away. Replaced my Generations Cyclonus.

Their other cassettes are borderline junk, however.

I was not expecting that. One of the first truly positive notes I've heard about Tempest. Glad he's working out for you.

3P Junkions don't really sway me. I remember the effort it took to troop build the official versions (and how easy it was when you could find some of them in the discount stores). It's kinda cool that 3 designs are already planned, but I'm passing. My junkyard is already overfilled.

Expect more Junkion decos.

They are really different things. The old Junkions are Classic toys, these are MP size. These KFC Junkions are about 9 inches tall! They are mean to save Citizen Stack from being destroyed on the planet of Junk, not City Commander.

My extremely loose definition of "disposable income" simply cannot fathom this. But thank you for the clarification.

If you hate the KFC toys so much, Then why do you own over 20+ of their products?

:-?

Why do you still keep buying more products from KFC?

Are you buying toys you hate at high 3rd party prices because you have can't control yourself and have completist buying sickness?

Do you enjoy putting inferior toys in your collection from a KFC company you label as making junk :-?

To be fair to Tsu, X is making himself an incredibly easy target. His smugness and obnoxious behaviour are extremely grating, even if he isn't technically breaking any rules.

Not very impressive. One of the perks of 3rd party products is that each character can be it's own, unique mould. This is ... early Classics Hasbro kinda stuff. If they wanted to go this route, they should have done some extensive remoulding, like Hasbro does today.

I don't believe that's an actual toy colour scheme, it looks more like it's supposed to illustrate the transformation, to show us where each part goes.
