Nendoroid Transformers products Discussion

Postby Emerje » Sat Feb 08, 2020 10:56 pm

Motto: "Spellcheck's antithesis."
Weapon: Saw-Edged Pincer
There have been a lot of surprises this weekend at Wonder Festival 2020 [Winter], but for fans of both Transformers and anime figures one of the biggest may be the addition of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee from the Bumblebee movie to Good Smile Company's Nendoroid line. For a line that includes everything from video game icons like Mario and Sonic to super heroes like the JLA and Avengers and is currently well over 1,500 figures strong between different scales and types, it's something of an honor to be included. Not much is known just yet about the figures like if they will have swappable parts and expressions or what type of accessories they'll include, but that information should trickle out soon enough. What we do know is that they'll be manufactured by Sentinel, the same company that brought us those non-transforming 24" Scorponok and Black Zarak figures back in 2014 and the transforming pens so this isn't their first time handling the Transformers license. Plus we have our first photos direct from the event thanks to Twitter user @Chohenken!

What do you think of these new Nedoroid Transformers figures and would you like to see the line expanded to include characters from other movies and other corners of the franchise? Be sure to sound off in the Energon Pub Forums!

Huh, well these are interesting. I wonder how articulated they will be? They appear to have elbows, but Nendoroids tend to be less articulated with exchangeable arms/legs instead. I recently picked up their Mega Man X and he has knees and ball jointed feet where the original Mega Man does not. Neither has elbows. They both have a ton of swap-able parts.

I have a few figures made by Sentinel as well and they are tops. I can't say I'm a big fan of the designs on display here (Prime is pretty cool), but I'm very interested as to where this may go.

It's be great if they came with little mini transformed version of themselves. I could see that happening.

Ordered Optimus, will probably get Megatron when he's available. Now I'm trying to decide if I want to track down the two movie figures...

Passing on these. I like nendoroids in general (other than their price!) but these don't pull off the look and are a bit fugly like transformer funkos. I'll stick with master made for the chibi look though I'm interested in the motu nendos

Nemesis Prime Adds a Little Evil to the Nendoroid Line

Postby Emerje » Tue Feb 08, 2022 8:19 am

Motto: "Spellcheck's antithesis."
Weapon: Saw-Edged Pincer
Optimus Prime has more to contend with in the Nendoroid line than just Megatron! Nemesis Prime is now a Nendoroid curtesy of Sentinel (the toy company, not the Prime) and looking good in black as he always does. He's a pretty simple repaint of Optimus Prime and includes his same accessories of an energon axe and blaster. Still, he has more articulation than your average Nendoroid and an interchangeable pointing hand. He's due out in July 2022 for $54.99 USD.

What do you think is more likely to happen next, a Megatron repaint, something new (Optimus is specifically referred to as the G1 ver. after all), or none of the above? Let us know in the Energon Pub forums!

Considering neither Optimus nor Megatron are out yet, I would say putting Nemesis up for sale is a bit sus, if you ask me.

I'll stick with Op & Megs and see if they're any good before thinking about any recolours.

Nendoroid Starscream Announced at Wonderful Hobby Life For You 35

Postby Emerje » Mon Feb 14, 2022 12:45 am

Motto: "Spellcheck's antithesis."
Weapon: Saw-Edged Pincer
Japan may have forced the cancellation of yet another Wonder Festival, but Good Smile Company still managed to hold a virtual version of their con-within-a-con Wonderful Hobby Life For You 35 this past weekend. And mixed in with the many, many dozens of new figures on display among their many, many partner companies was none other than Starscream in Nendoroid form. He's looking great, and like Megatron will certainly come with a nice selection of expressions, though he already seems to come default with the best one, that smirk. Whatever else he might come with hasn't been revealed just yet.

Since this was just announced it'll probably be a little while longer before pre-orders open, but he's currently scheduled for June 2022 so probably wont be much longer. This marks the third Decepticon to hit the line after Megatron and Nemesis Prime so we should hopefully have another Autobot to go with Optimus Prime announced soon enough.

I suspect the next figure will be Bumblebee, followed by Soundwave (and possibly cassettes), Thundercracker, Skywarp, Soundblaster and some other Seeker repaints/remolds.

If they're going to continue the line, then perhaps Jazz and Ironhide?

I'm basing this off previous Japanese character releases for things like Bearbrick, AU KDDI phone bots, small PVC figures, etc.

Bee and the Seekers feel like a safe bet, probably a G2 Bee repaint as well. They're already doing more figures than I really expected them to do (I was sure it would just be the first three, Starscream surprised me) so anything goes. If they're going with easy repaints then Ironhide and Ratchet would be an easy way to add to the Autobot ranks.

Cuteness Overload with these Nendroid Optimus Prime In Hand Images

Postby william-james88 » Fri Jun 17, 2022 12:20 pm

Motto: "'till All Are One"
The Nendoroid Transformers are almost here and we have some shots of the first release from the "G1" line, Optimus Prime. Watching all his stances recreated in this super cute fashion thanks to the various accessories and great articulation is fun. These shots come from ShentuToyBox on Weibo. The shot between him and the new live action Optimus Prime Nendroid is particularly interesting since it looks like a filter between cartoon and live action for the same character, which is what we had hoped for all along as fans (in terms of live action designs).

Not a great product and far too expensive for what it is. The head lacks full articulation due to the size, the joints were floppy on mine and the lack of accessories (such as alternative face plates, which most Nenderoids have) didn't help either. The plastic felt thin or "cheap" too, akin to slightly better than Gunpla plastic.

I sent mine back to Amazon Japan and cancelled my order for the Megatron version. At around ¥4-5,000 they were simply overpriced. I've had better quality/value-for-money SD figures from Gundam lines or even official/KO/3P TFs. Nenderoids are also often KO'd, so I might get a (hopefully larger) version of these in the future, at a much more realistic price.

If you want to see pics of mine:

Also, for those wishing to buy Nenderoids, they might want to rethink about it:

-
"...New information, shared exclusively with WIRED, provides greater detail into 4chan’s largely unpublicized relationship with a major Japanese toy firm called the Good Smile Company. Legal documents, corporate records, and interviews with those familiar with both companies show that Good Smile played a role in 4chan’s 2015 acquisition..."
