That little guy is probably my favorite Legends-type Bee figure from any company! It's like a miniature MP!

He is great and I agree 100% on being a mini MP. Even more here.

Huh, 1:1 CW KO's? Any more out there, or to be more precise, any redecos of them?

Yup, Superior except Quickslinger, all of Defensor less Rook oddly enough, Bruticus with jet Blast Off - Hasbro decos of course. Quite a few listings on AliExpress, most of the limbs are in the $8 range shipped with the torsos around $12. There are also OS Denfensor and Menasor out there as well. I have the dark navy Rook and his quality is considerably nicer (the scale feels better as well).

Open those images in a new tab and take a real close look at the tampo'd sigil.

AB is not quite right but not bad and totally worth the price. Could be good fodder for customs or just to fill in blanks. I picked him up to check the quality as I sold off the OG after I got Quickslinger. I'm thinking about a custom Eagle 1 with Air Raid.

got that Rook about a yearvago, too.

I saw this guy floating around the 'bay for a while, mostly being offered by sellers from China. It looked suspicious because it was labeled as a die-cast transformable figure and it looked exactly like Drift in silver (being sold for $45-60), which made me wonder if it was just a good Photoshop job and some fancy-sounding buzzwords. Then I found a seller Stateside selling one for less than the aforementioned price, so I bit. Turns out it is a die-cast silver Drift, as advertised!



All the silver parts except for the head are metal, which makes this guy not only shiny but heavy.



It's basically a 1:1 scale from the original Generations Drift figure, with the same transformation and articulation. He has a few extra accessories, including a fourth sword, a shield that mounts on a hubcap, a throwing star-looking thing that also mounts on a hubcap, and a second head with a surprised/derpy expression. The company that made it, Forged Metal, calls it "BlitzWarrior, Supre Samurai," and the bio mentions him having once being evil and stalking "the face of Seibertron."



It's a pretty cool find if you like the Generations Drift figure and have some money burning a hole in your pocket.

Oh wow, I thought that silver Drift was OS! Been eye balling him for a while over at AliExpress. I think Ben's collectibles reviewed the OS white one.

How much again? Got a link?

[Glarryg]

Well, I'm not going to tell you who to buy from, but I went on eBay just now and searched for "Forged Metal Transformers Drift" and found some listings that had it at $43. They were all straight from China, and the sellers' rating were good, but not based on a lot of transactions. The one I bought was a seller that used actual photos of the item sitting in their home rather than stock photos; decide for yourself if it's worth the risk.

That he is. I've been enjoying the figure.

Here's my most recent haul:



The little guy in front is Toyworld's "Waste Gas" figure. Not only is it an impressive legends-style figure (if a little small in the head and forearm areas), but the toy straight out of the box has all the livery with real-world spelling, including Lancia, Goodyear, and even Marlboro. Car mode deco was cigarette-box accurate, too. Methinks this might make him something of a holy grail among Exhaust fans once the C & D letters start flying. As an interesting (possibly related?) side note, there were no instructions, or even pictures on the box.

Aww, Rager; that was my first third party figure. He's pretty cool, but I yearn for a toy-accurate face on my Huffers. If I ever find someone willing to sell a BadCube Huff Version 1 (or at least the swappable head from it to put on a Version 2), I'm gonna jump on that.

Anyone getting or planning on getting the Iron Factory DJD combiner? I'm extremely curious... but I haven't dabbled much in 3p outside of the odd add-on kit and older FansProject kits like City Commander.

I'm slowly working on completing Wei Jiang's Model Wizard Sky Soarer aka Predaking. Just got War Eagle aka Divebomb today, pretty sure it's a 1:1 PotP KO with a few improvements.
