Tigatron and Waspinator scanned female beast modes too, yet they're both still male.Bounti76 wrote:If we're being anatomically correct, Wingfinger is actually female.

The fossils are directly linked to the origin of the Dinobots (in the episode SOS Dinobots, in the cave and in the museum) as to some characters from Beast Wars (who scan buried fossils), in addition to the fact that the Fossilizers are extremely creative, allowing for several different combinations and assemblies . It was a big hit by Hasbro, which went beyond the conventional and gave us something really new and interesting.

It's also a nice nod to the early days of paleonthology, when scientists barely knew what they were doing when rearranging the dino bones.

Almost certainly stolen figures, yesDeathReviews wrote:Wow - how do some people get these things so dang EARLY? Do they have access to the factory floor or something? The rest of us casual reviewers have to wait for general release - there is no justice!

Pretty sure we’ve gotten several confirmations that this kid does NOT steal these, he’s partnered with Hasbro.

Some of the more well known (infamous) early reviewers are obtaining questionable factory samples, based on their close proximity to where the toys are being made, but my guess is that PvP's family is financially secure, so he can afford to get the earliest sources and pay insane amounts to get them shipped to him in the UK as quickly as possible.
I mean most of us poor shlubs are living paycheck-to-paycheck so we have to budget our resources to get TF's when they come out, but of the several thousands of us, I'd imagine there are a few more well-off than others, so they get the reviews earlier. I'm not jealous, it gives me a good opportunity to look at something several months in advance.

So you're saying if you had access to stolen figures before others you'd refuse them?

Early releases are weeks, not months before they're on shelves. I've also heard from several sources that he and Ton Ton sell their samples for crazy amounts privately to recoup whatever costs they had. Between the views and the sales, they're doing ok. For the record, Hasbro will never send out figures this early to be reviewed. If they did there's a long list of reviewers who have larger audiences and have a closer relationship to Hasbro than PvP and Ton Ton.
Good to know that you do. But does DeathReviews?Lore Keeper wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:DeathReviews wrote:Wow - how do some people get these things so dang EARLY?

Yup. Some of us have moral standards.
