The KO Razorclaw arrived in Tampico.




I finally have Predaking.

Do you know if the Maximus has a Spike and Cerebros? Is the head transformable? Let us know when he comes in.

ALthough it's a little bit smaller than the other version (the older one that has the Spike head) and the head doesn't transform, it makes up for it in detail. An abundance of detail that wasn't on the older version. It even has the opening doors on the side of the city mode (absent from the other). I really need to make a photo review of this one. I like it alot.

Check out the Chinese KO combiners set. I only looked at the Devastator combiner but it doesn't look too bad, plus they are only $10 each.

They list Devastator, Aerialbots, Protectobots, Menasor, Combaticons, Abominus, Aircraft Carrier, Trainbots. Plus they also have G1 Reissue Fortress (their exact words not mine ).

[Scaleface]

I've seen them for $5 at Big Lots, and that one on enay costs $30 after shipping!

[Vile MK III]

Plus, they don't take money orders. ... jerks

Hey gang... looking for a little assistance on what vintage this particular FortMax mold might be. The pics are from the vendor. Brave Max reissue or something?

It's the Car Robots(RID)recolor of Fort Max.

[Transtopias Rodimus Prime]

2001 or something.

Less parts too in the reissue(no cog, and a couple less guns):

I think there was some super expensive set that had the sword for Brave Max with Fire Convoy and god Magnus.

Here's a new pic of my Predaking.


Well, here's some pics of the KO's LOC Scourge and Mini Brimstone.

This Knocks are made by the company Lian Ye, they have a good quality for be KO's, a "Simple Painted" and a very original style packaging

Package


The funniest thing on this was the phrases "The best welcome gifts for the children" and "A new alternative for a new millenium"


LOC Scourge & Mini-Brimstone



There's a small package version, but they're not painted (Scourge is only gray and orange without the silver painting)

Big Lots in Killeen TX has more of those BW Megatrons in both Dragon and T-Rex models. I picked up the blue Megatron/Cryotek today, they have plenty of em though.

[simonightmare]

and here are some Machine Wars and Beast Wars KO also from Big Lots...

I picked up that Mirage KO last week in a discount store for £1 [about $2], didn't bother with what I assume is Ironhide [the red truck with flames? I think perhaps the guys at ILM saw that and took some inspiration:P]. I've never seen the other ones shown there though as mine came in a totally different box and they were called 'Super Transforming Robo Heroes', but in the same line there is a PERFECT Prime KO... it comes with an energon axe and authentic G1 gun mould and everything. If I can find my USB lead later I will try and get some pics up. The build quality was hit or miss - cheap plastic and one leg is super loose whilst the other is super tight, but for the price it's pretty cool.

I found there bootleg Galaxy Force figures at big lots today. They're cool for 2 bucks.

[Falconhood]

Big Lots? $2? dang, i just KNEW the Matrix was telling me to go there the other day, but i resisted, since the last visit showed that they were shrinking their toy section to make room for summer stuff.

[Scaleface]

OH HECK YEAH! I got to get me some of these! I love the Starscream mold, and the Optimus Prime one has his super mode accessories!!!!!

How tall do they stand?

Prime is the tallest. The point of his wings is about 5.5" Hot shot is the closest to his GF counterpart and also comes with a G1 Prime gun for some reason. I've had loads of fun with them.

[Scaleface]

A guy at the allspark posted this gallery. He found a Evac and Megatron too.

that's a HUGE megs!!

[SauronTD]

that's a HUGE megs!!

Its the same size as the others. I think the comparrison is to a LOC figure.

[Falconhood]

legend of cybertron?? OH, dang, then...That's small!
haha, it would be HUGE if that LOC was the leader-class Megs.

[Scaleface]

It's about the size of a scout class, so it's cool. It's between the Legends and the real toys. I definitely want them.

The plastic feels cheap but I have transformed them several times with no breaks.

[Valandar]

The plastic IS pretty cheap, but they're still lots more durable than, say, the knockoff combiners.

I've repainted three of the Starscream knockoffs, and am actually considering modifying the arms to have normal elbow movement.

Except for the Predaking KO. The quality of the plastic is very solid not cheaply made compared to the KO combiners you find in the Easter Baskets. Like I said before it's one of the best KO I've seen...
