Kingdom deluxe Shadow Panther video review

-Kanrabat- wrote:Now repaint and severely remold Leader Beast Megatron into Grimlock (in proper G1 colors but more "biological") and I would have been all over it.

A friend and I went in together on the Jurassic Park crossover set because he wanted the jeep and I'll get the T-Rex and I'm just going to put it on my Grimlock shelf and consider it a Beast Wars Grimlock. The red and black in robot mode will help blend it in.

I would have customised that T-Rex into a proper Grimlock just by changing the head. But for the price that set go for, better keep it unmodded. But even so, it works as a Grimlock by itself much more than the Dinobot repaint.

people want remakes of titans now? what?

You should quote who's you're responding to, but one thing is sure. Gen Metroplex and consequently, TR Fortmax would definitely need a redo.

Has nobody told this dopey fake Brit that Shadow Panther is already out in some places? He could have saved ¥(REDACTED).

I'm not sure what part you're commenting on. Though people have said in the past they would love a more cartoon accurate Metroplex and a better Fortress Maximus that was his own mold.

Sarcasm doesn't suit you, Kanrabat. Anyway only 999999999999999999 IQ as he'd be paying a Vietnamese factory worker in Vietnamese Dong, not Yen.

Redacted Dong. Everyone think about that for a sec. Redacted Dong. Happy Saturday/Sunday all.



REDACTED DONG.

Ah, I see. Thanks for explaining.

I do like that they gave Shadow Panther the Mutant head, I find it helps keep them distinct from Cheetor.

Been having fun with Kingdom Rodimus. Gotta say he’s one fantastic figure. He’s definitely really well designed and engineered.

He’s gotta be in the top 5 figures of the year IMHO.

If we can expect something similar for Legacy G2 Laser Prime, damn, its gonna be good.

The trailer is huge. Dwarfs PotP Rodimus. I can honestly say he is in deed worth the Commander Class price point.

As a kid I always wanted Metroplex, unfortunately he was too expensive. So I would certainly be interested in a new one now with a more affordable prices than what he is on the secondary market. Fortress Maximus I'm not that interested in but it would depend on what the final product looked like.

Actually I'm kind of curious if they would ever try to rework HasLAb Unicron into Cybertron?

I doubt they'd rework that particular unicron. If they would do a HasLab primus though, I don't know. I could see them making it but, I doubt they actually would.

So catching up, I got my Kingdom Ark, whom will forever be known to be as Iaconus the Last War Titan, my Kingdom Tricranius set, and the Grimlock 2-pack, and.

But before we get to them, I want to share some pictures of Wingfinger, since I am really enjoying him. I think Tricranius will ultimately be my favorite of the Fossilizers, and Ractonite my favorite retail release one, but Wingfinger is pretty dang good too






Also real quick, so far Scorponok is pretty good, I actually really enjoy his scorpion mode



So to jump to Iaconus and Mainframe, I'll start with Mainframe. He is a really fun and neat little dude. I love the computer alt mode, and the robot mode is really solid and for me just fun. He is a great accessory figure, and I still hope he gets a Selects release in his standard colors down the road











Moving to Iaconus, I think this might be right there with Omega Supreme as my favorite titan. For one thing, the actual ship alt mode is super fun, and he is really fun to swish around. And then the robot mode is nicely new, fresh, and the head sculpt is really cool to look at. He's just fun overall. I wish his ankles had more tilt and his hands didn't suck, but overall he is a really nice titan.






Oh, and once you have the Tricranius pack, you can give him 4 thruster effects!



Size compared to my new Haslab Sentinel



Since we brought up Tricranius, I got him too, and he is lots of fun. This is my favorite mold, and in magma colors it absolutely kills. This is a perfect toy.




Moving on, here are Grimlock and Mirage. Still deciding on whether or not I am going to sell my Mirage off, but I like Grimlock. They nailed that head, I just wish it would photograph better, especially the eyes. I like this mold, and it makes a great Grimlock







And finally, I need to take an updated pic with Tricranius, but here are my new roster Beast Wars Dinobots

My main issue with wing finger is how the mouth just snaps shut. I wish it was a fraction joint instead.

Grimlock is great. The original Beast Wars grimlock had brittle gold plastic.

now if we could have a deluxe class scamper

that'd be great

This is usually not very important news in other years but with a greater focus on the supply chain and fans curious as to how Hasbro can handle challenges in the pandemic and bring toys to the shelves, we wanted to share with you proof of these new case offerings. In between waves, Hasbro has made available some solid cases for retailers to order, meaning that the case is filled with the same figure. We had seen this in Titans Return with Blurr, Galvatron and Mindwipe, for instance. Below you can see that Hasbro is offering this in the Kingdom line too with a solid case of Wingfinger. This was found at an EB Games/Gamestop in Canada.

It is unsure if solid cases of other characters are being offered and if retailers can distinguish one from the other in their order form or if it's simply part of the deluxe assortment. But it means Hasbro is shipping out product in various ways and as we can see in the image, at least that EB Games location has a nice full shelf for customers. Also, this would be the explanation if ever you see a ton of just one character on your shelves after a restock.
