Death Czar











Crimson Faust

That looks bad, like FunPub Punch/Counterpunch bad.

Why is this a renderform site exclusive? Didn't renderform recently branch out some of it's items to other import sites?

Sorry after the TFCC and TFsource sites problems with hacking leaked credit cards info. I don't trust small sites with my credit card info. I'd rather buy this item from BBTS or ebay.

What does first run of 250 Mean exactly? It reads like the first run is exclusive to the Renderform site. While additional runs might be sold on other sites like BBTS,Captured Prey,Toyarena,TFSorce and other sites.

I'm not sure how I feel about that TFP Darksteele mold being used as a G-1 Death Czar toy. Most of the TFP-BH sculpts I felt were just terrible in that TFA-TFP-BH stylized aesthetics.

Love the Renderform Death Czar head and Gun. Renderform hits it out the ballpark in this area.

Where did that ball & chain weapon come from? it looks like it might be from a TFA Dinobot,possibly from TFP Bulkhead or? I'm speculating if this ball and chain weapons is a bonus mystery accessory for some. It might get included in later runs,who knows.

Renderform gets points for designing the best TF heads i've ever seen. Think HasTak And MMC need to hire Renderform to design their TF robot heads.

Not sure how I feel about the reprolabels stickers for this Renderform Death Czar toy. I never liked stikers as they peel,fade and leave permanent marked residues all over the toy. Some of those reprolabels stickers for Death Czar look like their placed on moving articulated or transforming parts, which seems like a minus.

That's just the way he rolls. Sometimes there are exclusives to his site, sometimes there are exclusives to e-tailers, and then there are the "general" releases.

PayPal, buddy. That's how I've paid for all of my orders through RF's site.

Possibly, or possibly in a few years when people are demanding another run of this set he'll make another. I could care less that these items are "limited", I just want to be able to purchase items I find appealing. Others have complained previously that limited sets should remain limited and whine about second or third runs. Most famous for this would be FansProject Powered Convoy trailer. I'm not spending my money on these figures and accessories to make a quick buck or horde them, I'm buying them for my own personal joy - limited or not.

I like the idea of using this mold, but sadly I'm gonna pass on this set because I think the head looks too small or out of place. I am a fan of RF's other works and have several pieces.

I prefer CustomsByZ's Deathsaurus head (http://www.shapeways.com/model/1359779/deathsaurus-head-2-piece.html). However, I was hoping for a run of this as opposed to ordering something from Shapeways to paint. Hooray for choices, no?

I like the look of the Dezarus head. It does look a little small but not smaller than the original head and I suspect it can't be any bigger since it has to fit in the beast neck. Now I can't imagine why anybody would replace the gorgeous head that is Budora. I already have the reprolabels for this guy just need a head and this just might do.

I would have bought this, but I got a good deal on the botcon 2005 set. So now I actually use darksteel as the character he is intended to be. I like that custom version. Are those stickers or custom paint apps ? If Azim decides to do a cryotek head for the blue predaking, I will be very happy.

I got one of each gun. I can finally give 2005 Deathsaurus a proper gun!

Those were a free reprolabels give away set they did a few weeks back on their facebook page.

After thinking about it awhile I might have been interested in the red one had the face looked more like Red Giest's Anime face... and of course if the head itself had been bigger.

Renderform and Reprolabels should team up on this project here. $28 for the renderform kit plus $8 for the reprolabels stickers bundled in one pack and combined price.

Azim .

Over 100 kits preordered in 12 hours for the RF-016 Death Czar upgrade! It surprisingly beat out the RFX-004 P.A.X. head kit for TW Orion, which got close to 100 preorders in 24 hours. Thanks to everyone who ordered either kits!

The heads look great, they just don't fit the body. The body is clearly a brute, while the head looks more calculating and, well not as powerful as the body.
It'S also very small, and sits too far up.

But the heads on their own look fantastic.

Agreed. Thats a nicer way of putting together my thoughts.

In agreeance that the G-1 styled classics head looks freaky on that not G-1 Classics aesthetics body.

What Reprolabels did is even more puzzling. not wanting to make anymore stickers for this is just

Not sure why the set is getting hate. I think the head looks good on the body - the design has the necessary BH curvature, even if its Classics-styled. I've already ordered one, along with the extra gun. Considering getting a second, since I did order 2 of the Reprolabels sticker sets.

You clearly only say that because you missed out on the set. It's a social media ploy; follow their FB page and you'll be able to get the scoop on future free sets. I thought it was very cool of them.

The Problem, I think, Stems from not that many on-line Fans liking those BH Predacons toys. It just seems like the toys get more thrashed than praised.

I actually bought a Darksteel for this purpose when another company teased this idea. I had totally given up on findjng a botcon Deathsaurus for sale on ebay after losing the only bid that popped up in months. Then I got a great deal on the whole set and jumped on it. So renderform jumped on this idea just a bit too late. Im considering buying the gun though. I have to do my research and make sure its G1 accurate and not just some BFG created for the sake of looking cool.

No, the toys are awesome, the head just doesn't fit the body. The body is that of an aggressive powerful brute, the head is that of a calculating leader sort of guy.
It's like putting just slapping Tony Stark's head on the Hulk, without hulkifying the head.
