Elsewhere:

$214.99 - TFSource

$214.99 - BBTS

$214.99 - ChosenPrime

$248 - OhMyPrimus (That one seems a little high :???:

)

Kapow being the cheapest by far for Naval Commander. Yet as they don't ship internationally [beyond Europe], I thought to post some alternatives.

Normally, I just highlight a 3P figure without a price tag. As their releases tend to be a bit more random than licensed figures. But I think it's safe to say this guy is definitely coming out. "December 2020"

New finished product images for Big Fire Bird's Nicee. You know, when not in vehicle mode, she doesn't really look like an Arcee based figure at all.

"Nicee"
She wear that name with pride!
When she finally come out and the video reviews are up, this may surely be a buy.

Short video of Big Firebird Nicee. She looks good, however I'm somewhat disappointed that the extra "chest armor" they described isn't actually chest armor and is just soft boobs. I thought it was going to be a plate of armor looking piece to replace the boobs. I really should have seen it coming though to be honest. Eh, I'll live.

One thing I'm not disappointed in is the size and how firm the joints look. I'm surprised that they didn't include the Arcee head as the extra head, but I honestly don't mind that as I really do prefer the head design they went with. Can't wait for her to arrive!

Looks good, looking forward to their own creations combining gals too.

Here is an English review of Big Firebird Nicee!

Those joints look tight, and it still looks bigger than I expected. DAMN WHERE'S MINE?

I'm playing catch up on master mades stuff and now this awesomeness. Large things of mass destruction (or construction) come in small packages.

Ticks all the right boxes for me and I won't need to find the kids logic devy that I'd been looking for.

I don't really want to buy the bust/non deformed head just for the drill bits so money saved.

Master Made make an excellent product from what I understand, and I absolutely love their aesthetic. I will say it's almost a shame they only do SD figures- I love SD figures but their "look" would translate wonderfully to "regular" TFs. Still looks amazing though.

I really love when a 3P company is making their OWN original characters. The latest CRAFT SERIES CS-01 LUMITENT from TFC TOYS is an example of bot AND jet perfection. But damn, it's expensive.

That's why I miss my early collecting years, the times of old Classics / Generations and ROTF where we saw so much new and unexpected things.

Indeed. Evergreen has ruined so much of the fun of Transformers collecting.

seeing as the ko threads are hard enough to find or resurrecting some long dead thread, this sighting on ebay looks amazing.

I had to look at the waist a few times but i can totally let it off with it having buttons for lights and sounds so..

first wtf is the dog cassette gone wrong shown on the back (and sadly from some of the recent transformers the designer probably works at hasbro XD)

second wtf with the back of art packaging where ko waves left arm must have drwan by the guy who draws deadpools feet...

First glance was "Steeljaw" but ... I don't remember his back legs being that gapey, but that may be because ...

Bad photoshopping.

Don't diss Rob Liefeld. His ability to draw feet (and small chests) may be questionable, but he's still better than John Romita Jr.

Liefelds also better than the artist that just traced adult industry performers (though I'm guessing that guys feet were better -assuming they were in the scene that he traced o. O)

I AM SO FFDGDSFSDDSKING MAD RIGHT NOW!!

LOOK AT HOW GOOD THIS LOOKS! I HATE THAT I WANT THIS SO MUCH! I TOLD MYSELF THAT I WASN'T GETTING INTO THIRD PARTY FIGURES AND WHAT HAPPENS? I NOW HAVE THREE ON MY DESK WITH TWO MORE ON THE WAY AND THEN FANSHOBBY PULLS THIS SHFGDSFDIT!

goddamit. This looks so good and I just know that this is going to cost way more than I want it to. Anyway, this is Fans Hobby's Naval Commander, and it's launch has been postponed to the end of January. Which gives me more time to sell some redundant organs.
