Fully articulated pretender beast shell for MMC Felisaber, Would you buy it?

Postby Tsutsukakushi » Wed Sep 03, 2014 9:25 pm

Speculating if the price isn't insanely high and it cost under $45. Think More might be interested in this.

If a Fully articulated Beast Shell gets made, Then I'd definitely be interested in buying a Felisaber

I personally hate Pretender shells and wouldn't buy one. I'm perfectly happy with Catilla as he is (or will be).

There was a time I asked myself the same question as far as.

Honestly, I don't think pretender shells could be pulled off in such a way that wouldn't make them look like a Godzilla crossover. Think we're better off if pretender shells are just left in the past and forgotten about.

A pretender shell for Feliesaber will look incredibly stupid considering how blocky and huge his limbs are, not to mention the lion head on his chest.

I would sooner see 6-7" highly articulated action figures of the shells and keep the pretender robots separate so they can be the same size .

That's not a bad idea. Building off that... I wonder how possible it would be to attach some sort of backpack for the pretender to fit into rather than cramming the pretender into the shell itself.

My other idea was for a 3rd party company to create 7.5 inch Pretender Beast shells that can Transform from Animal to Robot. My idea was to have a Classics 2.0 minicon Beast-bot fit inside a cavity in the torso. 2.0 aleady made a Minicon lion-bot for Catilla and a Minicon Wolf-bot for Carnivac. So they just need to create a bear-bot minicon for Chainclaw and a Warthog beast-bot minicon for Snarler.

Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.

Perspective time: Would you want a leader-sized sabertooth tiger in your TF collection?

No. Or at least I wouldn't.

Maybe if there's an all-new take on Catilla with an all-new take on the Pretender shell idea I'd be interested, but for MMC's take? It'd be too damned big. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I think the best way to get posable Prtenders with posable robots and posable beat modes are armour-like attachments that fit onto the arms, legs, head, and body.

No I think I would pass on a shell for catilla. I would rather it stay consistent with the other pretender characters hasbro and tfcc has done where the bad 80s gimmick has been eliminated. Same thing for action master characters. Those 2 bad gimmicks along with micromasters contributed to the death of the G1 franchise in the US back in 1989.

For Felisaber? No.

But the idea of 6-7" articulated figures with minibots that could fit inside, or on a backpack, that I could see.

Pretenders were just ridiculous. No chance.

I mean, who would pay 3rd party prices for such an absurd and pointless concept-

*Remembers Hegemon's success*

Uh, never mind.

At some point if HasTak or a 3rd party company creates a MP Victory Leo toy. That combines with MP Star Saber, I'd like it to be Leader scale.

Agreed. It's plain to see that Hasbro lost its focus during that time and the brand suffered badly. I like what's being done with the occasional retender/actionmaster homages these days. And the occasional Micromaster homages are nice too.

Micromasters aren't so bad. It's just the line-wise focus on them that was terrible.

Personally I'd like to see the Pretender concept attempted by a 3rd party. Just to see how they could, maybe, redeem it. But I don't think it should work as it did back then. Especially at this scale.
