MONSTERBOTS FOREVER!!!!!!!

[-Kanrabat-]

I'd really love to have all 3 of these "MP" Monsterbots, but at 150$ each, I'll have to pass.

I got all three for $250!
On my 50th birthday!


PS not going to be MP in my collection. They are monsters! They should be BIG!

Oh, nice score!

Finally got Planet X Neptune (Sludge) to complete my Fall of Cybertron Dinobots! He is so awesome and I got a fantastic deal on him too! So happy!

Biscuit Bots!

In a big box of stuff I got for my self gift this year was XTransbots Aegis cartoon version! I've had my eye on him for quite awhile bc of how lovely the vehicle mode is and he's my first BIG 3P figure besides a Planet X Seeker

I've only transformed him once, into robot mode as you see here, but it really wasn't too bad nor too fiddley. Kept my screwdriver hand tho just in case any parts felt too tight. Only compliment I really have is that since this is somewhat of an older figure the articulation is mind blowing but it works well enough

Stopped by the Dollarama today and picked these up. I'm interested in seeing if the KO Jetfire can combine with KO Optimus

Lol uhhhh yeah. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that they might not combine. Hahaahahaahaha.

[-Kanrabat-]

Oh God...

That "Optimus" looks like a Transmutate-like failed protoform.

[Fires_Of_Inferno]

It gets better! It appears that at somepoint Jetfire was the home for some cocooning beastie. So straight in the garbage he goes!

[-Kanrabat-]

Oh dear Lord...

[Fires_Of_Inferno]

The other two are better by way of not being infested. However I've been hornswoggled because what I thought was a KO Barricade is actually a Bumblebee wearing a Barricade outfit. Also he's really stumpy because the legs don't extend. Hehe. Stumpplebee.

This embiggened minicon motorcycle guy is definitely the best out of the lot. I've named him T-Pose. The other Decepticons fear the raw power he displays through his stoic expression.


I can't even be mad at these.

That last guy be like

It's been over 7 years since that thing is out. Thanks to a Age 3 & Up sale, I got the KFC Dia Stack.

The vehicle is huge, but appart the rubber tires, nothing feel "premium". There's no diecast, the plastics feels light and hollow, as if it's some oversized KO from AliExpress. 100$CAN was a good price for it, bit I would have been pissed if I'd paid the normal 200$+.

Here it is, compared to the official SG Magnus:
(I applied some to turn it into a "MP" SG Magnus.)



The transformation was piss-easy and he's pretty tight and don't feel fragile overall. There was a small panel that was floppy that needed the crazy-glue treatment.



Stacks is way bigger than I thought. I don't know if the vehicle is modern MP scaled, but that bot sure isn't. Still, it's perfect for a SG character.

Totally forgot that this even existed...
Here's my post that I had in the mainline toy haul thread:

I had been out of town a few days and came home to find Star Toys Commander waiting for me…
I won’t give a full review, but this is one incredibly good MP-scaled figure.
The quality is there in every aspect; although I will add to that that I’m one who doesn’t care about paint if the plastic quality is good and the right color(s).
The ab crunch joint is a bit loose, but it still allows for posing.
Beyond that, only the tank mode suffers at all from a lack of molded detail. But for me, that critique is borderline nit-picky.
There are a few tabs/slots that are tight…. But that’s much better than those being loose and useless.

It’s really almost unbelievable that I have this guy and only spent $140…
If this only had one alt mode, it would still be worth $200.
I never compare MP or 3P figures to mainline releases because it’s just not fair.
But outside of Hastak’s offerings, this is hands-down the figure of the year for me, and possibly the best of the 6 MP figures I have (4 of which are official Takara figures).

My hopes aren’t up by any means, but I would love if this company made another figure of a character I want…. Star Toys is completely legit, and this Blitzy is more than enough evidence.

My latest 3P buy was this shoulder fix kit for Armada Megatron. Needed a bit of Krazy Glue treatment to stiffen the rotation, but definitely money well spent to fix an egregious shortcoming.

[-Kanrabat-]

I needed a G1 Slamdance to go with my G1 Blaster. However, no way am I gonna pay 150$ for the real vintage one. Especially since my G1 Blaster is just the Walmart reissue.

So, I went for the K.O one.

The quality is great and the joints are scarily stiff, except the the pinned transformation joints of the combined bot's legs. I did the crazy glue thing to fix it. Overall, 50$ seems expensive for a K.O, but it was worth it.

[Fires_Of_Inferno]

Got my Toyhax order in today! Labels for Generations Selects Ricochet and TR Elita 1! Also a new weapon for my Battle Beasts Deer Stalker! Had I checked i would have gotten Deer Stalker a new rubsign to!

Because Combiner Wars deluxes are now impossible to find at a reasonable price, I told my friend it was a good idea to try out the KO versions for his next original combiner.

During the shipping time, we changed our minds in how to proceed so these will be for a "bonus" combiner.

4 KO CW "Vortex" will make that bonus team.
They feel cheaper in hand than the originals (the same plastics usually found in KOs) but they are solid and transform flawlessly.

Now, time to slightly mod them.

[-Kanrabat-]

Just got the "4th party" B Movie Ratchet and Ironhide.

Both are stupidly oversized and masterfully painted. Plus they now have diecast and extra panels too to cover some gaps.

So far, the only flaw is that for some reasons, the arms are not pinned/screw at the shoulder, making them pop off easily. I've yet to transform them, but both feels great in hand. And for the price of a deluxe with no taxes and free shipping, that's a great deal on AliExpress.

[triKlops]

I agree Kanra. I was pleasantly surprised for both of those. Sure the pins could have been included in the shoulders but if the trade off includes the die cast and extra panels, i was happy with it.

Not only that, but they feel RIGHT in hand. The MPM scale is on point and the amount of oaint is insane. The only flaw in the transformation ate those "side doors" that are not easy to tab in.

I'll be buying some clear faction symbols from Toyhax to complete the look.
