You will not regret it. He's pure madness! Dunno what price you will pay with shipping in $CAN, but you could have got it RIGHT NAOW if you had bought it from our local Geek Stuff.

He was $120 USD shipped. So I think that is worth the wait.


That's pretty good. If customs ignore the package, the deal will be complete. ;)^

Even if I paid the full price, I consider to have bought Peru-Kill for dirt cheap. 60$CAN plus some old garbage. Only MADLAW was worth something in the lot that I gave. That's not something one can do online.

I still feel really frickin' weird for having paid so much for a Transformers figure and it isn't even an official one. And I don't even have a job.
I have anxiety, depression and aspergers syndrome so my behaviour can be erratic. I don't mean offense to anyone. Just very picky about my Transformers collecting. You're all cool! :)

There is a first time for everything. And one thing is sure. It won't be the last. Also, get a job. It make pay for things easier.

On that note, Peru-Kill is my most expensive 3P figure to date. The previous record holder being Despotron, and only because he was on clearance from Maketoys. I very rarely buy 3P figures to begin with.

The next one to get will be a 3P version of AoE/TLK Knight Optimus Prime. Peru-Kill style, without kibbles. At all. :x

Well, this is a challenge then.
I may not know anything about your current condition but I'd ask myself this: "What can do right now and how to be paid for it?" :-?

A simple formula, yes, but very hard to solve. Good luck.

The listing did not state it came with the Diaclone figure. From what I can tell it just comes with it in box. I ordered it from AliExpress with no box. Seems like something MechFansToys is doing with a few of their figures. I've confirmed this on several chat boards.

All versions of the Samurai seem to come with a powered suit, their Swoop appears to come with a pilot (pictured) and the yellow/orange Devastator has a color keyed powered suit w/ pilot (pictured and in the listing on Ali). It's weird, none of the listings mention this but some have them in the product pictures. I guess that's the game you play when you import KO 3P figures.

I was not expecting the powered suit and just figured it was a bonus as I didn't get the box. I did find pics online showing a spot for the powered suit in the plastic shell though.

You'll have to do the leg work yourself, sorry. Just go to your favorite 3P/KO seller and search "mechfanstoys".

Well I joined a casting agency since I am in an amateur dramatics group (which helped hugely with some of my health related issues) and made a nice bit of cash filming on a TV show back in September and currently figuring out doing a day on a film in December which would cover the cost of Peru Kill. It's just difficult to organise some of these things since I don't drive (again related to health things) so have to do the ones my friend does but he also has a full time job in addition to the filming stuff. :P

@kanrabat Never really thought about it that way but yes I guess I'm 'in the industry'. Very new to it though. Just as an extra at present. It's a good kind of job for me but at moment can only take reasonably local jobs of which there aren't many but hey. :P


Anyways excellent third party hammer for Bumblebee. Designed for the MPM scale but works great with the Deluxe (in some ways more so since the Deluxe here is the TLK body that uses the hammer, the MPM is not)
Image
Bought from https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/ ... ails/56208 for $5.99 plus $8 shipping to the UK. Says SOLD OUT on the page now so glad I got one quick. :)

Not a haul but just pointing out how AMAZING Peru-Kill is again. I just finished transforming him back into vehicle mode and it was FUN and INTUITIVE and WITHOUT instructions!

Dollarama have some KO Beast Wars figures from MONTOY. Because I never had the Wolf and always wanted it without paying the Ebay prices, I took this KO.

Image

4$CAN plus taxes. That's not a big risk.
Also, check out the others from this KO line:

Image

The plastic obviously feel very flimsy, very thin, and very light. Ironically, Hasbro used that plastic pretty often on many figures recently. From FOC to Prime to RiD to even TLK.

Image

Playing with it however, he's pretty SOLID. Tight joints, posable, and the weapons peg on securely. It's pretty amazing actually. I never owned the original so I can't tell if some changes were made to reduce the cost. But this one don't have a rotating head and everything is pretty hollow on the back.

Image

The box come with NO instructions. Luckily he's easy to figure out. Once again, the joints are tight, everything feel solid, and all tabs are secure. The overall look of the wolf is pretty good.

Image

Image

Overall, this KO is of a pretty HIGH quality. Especially for just over 4$. I'm pretty happy with it and I may just buy some more. If you see a MONTOY KO in a dollar store, go grab some. They have a very, VERY good quality for this low, low price.

I found them a few times but I alreayd have the originals so I saw no use for them. And 4$ for KOs sounds like a lot to me for some reason. I was curious about Mack Kick though, which I found the other day, since I always wanted to experience that toy.

I have none of those guys so I AM curious... Especially about the Horse. They say he's a nightmare to transform. So, cheapened KO, no instructions... If I see it again, I may just try it out! 8-}

Well I keep going deeper and deeper down the OS KO rabbit hole.

Image

Now this is a cool figure. The size feels right and the color scheme and deco is awesome! Build quality is really great to boot. He's a big boy with some nice heft.

Kind of an old toy at this point but for more pics, click here.

I got Peru Kill. You know what? Its my toy of the year. Unlike any other 3p toy I have, this one feels not more complex than it should be and it feels really well planned. Better than any MPM movie toy this year. It feels like a Hasbro/Takara toy from 2010. Really glad bought it and it being the same price as MPM04 makes buying it a no brainer.

Awesome! He looks amazing, I kinda want him myself.

Out of interest, what other 3P stuff do you have? I only ask because I could probably recommend some decent 3Ps that you might enjoy. There's so much on the market that it's borderline impossible to speak for the quality of them all.

Well, here's some recs based on what I think you might like.

WARNING: Wall of text incoming!

Maketoys Despotron, if you can get behind the stylized look, is fantastic. Actually has the most straightforward transformation of any MP-alike Megatron, and is built like a goddamn battleship. Very little kibble, only real downsides are stylization (subjective) and slightly out of proportion gun mode (barely noticable really).

If you want a smaller Devy for any reason, Giant is a superb toy. His individual components range from a bit dated but still cool (Scrapper, Hook) to absolutely superb (every other figure, but especially the arm bots and Long Haul IMO) and the combined mode is probably the most solid feeling combiner I've ever handled.

FP's Crossfire set is pretty cool, providing you don't get a KO (my copy was either a KO or a QC dud). The combined mode is kind of too small by modern standards and nothing is going to make Energon Barricade into a decent Onslaught, but the Swindle and Blast Off are really cool figures and the weapons are a lot of fun.

I've only briefly handled him, but Maketoys (yes I am a massive MT fanboy my apologies) Galaxy Meteor (AKA Cybertron Starscream) is a thing of absolute beauty. Built really well, RIDICULOUSLY poseable for his size and design, simple but ingenious transformation and despite technically being an MP he works really well with CHUG due to the source material and his abstract nature. Oh, and it's getting a Thundercracker and Skywarp redeco too! I haven't handled him but a friend of mine says that Howling Meteor is pretty much the definitive MP G1 Screamer too.

Maketoys entire Cross Dimension line, if you dig the look, is very well made and a lot of fun. And yes I will stop stroking Maketoys' ego now!

The FP Insecticons, but especially the "Deluxe" redecoes are pretty cool. Simple and a bit dated maybe, but nicely made and not over-engineered. Also the Deluxe Insecticons scale nicely with the Generations Legends bugs if you prefer the toy scale. (Note: I haven't handled them myself, YMMV)

Perfect Effect's old Reflector is tiny, but really nifty. Very poseable for how small they are and not massively fiddly. And the way they manage their partsforming is RID Prime level genius. (Again, not handled myself, just going off others' experiences.)

Finally, if you want some Legends scale fun then there's the DX9 Stormtroopers, AKA teeny tiny Seekers. Again, I haven't handled them myself but they're not very expensive on the aftermarket and they're exceedingly good Seekers. I'd argue that they're actually better toys than the Classics mold, which at half the size is no mean feat!

There's probably others I could recommend but I'd be here all day. In any event, those are ones I either know for sure or can confidently say are good. For example, I love the MT Protectobots but they're very much love-or-hate figures. And there's others I think look cool but may be of questionable quality (most of TFC's figures).

And finally, avoid KFC/X-Transbots like Cosmic Rust. They're baaaaaaad.

Hope that helps entice you down the rabbit hole of 3P!
