The back-packaging of PerfectEffect's Ninja and Kingbat Two-Pack revealed PerfectEffect's next project, Reflector! The SFX Reflector set looks to be a spot-on representation of the G1 character. With new photos posted on PerfectEffect's blog, we've got a look at the middle component of Reflector, Viewfinder. Viewfinder is a tad taller than their Shadow Warrior, looks very articulate, and like their other figures, can dual wield weapons. We also get a look at some of the weapons that come with the SFX set. Check out the prototype images below!

Cool!
Possibly a bit on the small side, but I'm sure it (they) will fit into my collection nicely.

Pure win! I've wanted a cartoon accurate Reflector ever since I saw him in the original miniseries, and this looks to fill the bill nicely... also makes me optimistic about the not-Soundwave they teased an image of a month or so back on their website.

looks like if that kibble is formed right, it might be a zoom lens. Look at the rounded peices far left and second to the right

Instant pre-order. I've been very pleased with all my other PE figures. I've been waiting on a classics Reflector and I just don't think the Preceptor repaint is going to do it for me.

I've always wanted a Reflector. This sounds and looks promising. It's a real shame the bot modes are gonna be so tiny though. I passed on their cassette bots because of that. Still pretty excited though. Curious to see if Hasbro has an answer to this in the works.

They do but it's a repaint/rework of Perceptor.
I hate that this is so small, but I'll probably get it anyway as I love these characters and need more Decepticons.

Ohhh, forgot about that. It was mentioned at Botcon right? Depending on how each product turns out, I may end up with both.![:P]( "Tongue")

I'd be ecstatic if not-Reflector would be about the size f an actual SLR in camera mode, but alas it's not to be; if I remember correctly the triplets were not all that much larger than Rumble & Frenzy, though of course PE has downsized them a bit from their incarnation as cassettes.Flux Convoy wrote:It's a real shame the bot modes are gonna be so tiny though.

if it was a Hasbro toy would the topic be posted in the Knock Offs and 3rd Party Toys forum? I'm just wondering why you've come to post here if you're so devoted to one company that you'll deprive yourself of something you like because another company is making it?

my problem is that it looks awesome but its not made by hasbro. which means they will overcharge for it. it wont be affordable. just like the new devastator figures. they look incredible but will cost lord knows how much.

sounds like they'll charge more than you're willing, or able, to pay. not necessarily that they're overcharging for it. I'd wager that the final cost per unit vs cost to make would show a significantly higher mark-up on a Hasbro toy than a 3rd party one.

Nice but so small in the cartoon scale. Ill buy anyway as long as they dont use crazy colors.
Im aslso sick of hearing how if its not Hasbro its not real. Who cares ??? If it looks good and fits in scale with the rest of a collection then its all good. Be happy somebody is doing what hasbro wont do.

I think it's too small. I'll still pick it up mind you but if it doesn't work on the shelf, I'll sell it in a heartbeat.

This doesn't appeal to my personal tastes, but it is nice. Nice shape, cool use of kibble. The lens seems low in robot mode. I mean, I get that it HAS to be that low, but it still makes the robot mode look weird.

Looks pretty awesome, but too small, and I know it'll be really expensive. Who knows, maybe they'll surprise us.

Nice figure!! really nice.
I love those swivel feet. Nothin beats a flat footed action pose. It shows that some thought went into the design.
Great quiver of weapons that come with him as well. I like the shield and knife!! That's my favorite weapon with my Crossfire 2 set. I display my Bruticus with just the knife. I'm likin this little trend of melee weapons.
