New Stock Images and Reviews for Upcoming Legacy Toys

Posted by william-james88 Aug 8, 2023 at 10:02pm CDT 74,314 views
We have new images and reviews for upcoming Legacy Evolution figures including Bombshell, Strongarm, Bludgeon and Shadow Striker.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Shadow Striker is a great figure but there are lots of little things going on with it that might turn some people off. First, I feel labeling the figure from the Cyberverse Universe is a disservice as the use of this mold is clearly meant to homage the TFCC convention exclusive. That leads to the second point, this mold is meant for Robots In Disguise Sideburn who we know is coming at a later point. With that said I find it hard to recommend this figure since once Sideburn is released most of this version will become redundant.




chuckdawg1999 wrote:What some new parts and paint can do for a mold is fantastic. Elita-1 and Minerva were ok, but Strongarm is the best use of this mold. Outside of an entirely new mold, this is the best modern interpretation of Strongarm we'll get and it's my favorite figure of the wave.

I saw him for the first time Tuesday at Walmart, keep checking. Also saw Inferno for the first time at the same store. Still no sign of Tarn yet...

(Everything else behind Inferno is Armada Starscream and Jhiaxus).

This Bludgeon is just Tarn in cosplay.
I'll be skipping that one.

I haven't been keeping up -- is there any word about the Dinobots ever being released as a box set?

You mean the Core Legacy ones?

No clue.

But I would really like a Select box set of them, repainted/remolded into Monstructor or something.

I was holding out hope for a deluxe class set for Monstructor, but this kinda takes the wind out of those sails. I'm genuinely not excited about these at all, but the Raiden trainbots are the only bots I've bought in over a year, so I'm dealing with withdrawals here.

I sympathize with some of these sentiments.

But I'm pretty certain a Core Dinoking Box Set from Pulse has to be in the very near future. I would much prefer Deluxes for Dinoking & Monstructor as well to scale with the other modern combiners, but it will be a placeholder if anything for the future. Same with the MPG Raiden Trainbots. Yes they are super expensive, but I figure its the only way we'll ever get them for the foreseeable future. If viable Deluxe standar Generation ones are made however, I'll sell my MPG's in a heartbeat.

Bludgeon actually continues to look better in in-hand images, I am liking him more and more. Especially since the in-hand images of the Super7 one show it to be kind of a stinker.

I also am appreciating Strongarm more. I will need to decide which shelf she ends up on once I get her

I think the rumor is Target gets Moonstructor and Pulse gets Dinoking. The problem is the two sets are going to be just repainted, which means the molds are only going to be accurate to Dinoking's pretender shells and not the actual robots that combined.

To be fair, those inner robot altmodes for the Dinoforce never actually appeared in anything. They always went directly from robot mode to dinosaur pretender shell and back.

good to know its not just here that things seem to still be waves behind. I also hope that hasbro restocks gamer edition prime at some point because I really dont want to pay 60$ for him

I hear you on that. Here in southern Missouri you can still find wave 1 deluxes on the pegs. To me finding the Toxitron line at a Walmart 3 hours away was like striking gold. That was only by luck coming back home from a trip. Otherwise there hasn’t been much out.

I'm good with that. The pretender gimmick always seemed pointless to me.

That would also mean that the individual Pretender Monster bots won't resemble anything, though the combined Monstructor form won't be too far off.

To be fair, the originals weren't exactly accurate depictions of anything either.

Chiming in for something to consider for the possible box sets: extra accessories. Grimlock and Snarl have "I"-shaped ports on the bottom of their hips, which seemingly serve no purpose. Maybe for an omitted foot?

As for Monstructor, comparing the Core Dinobots with the G1 Monster Pretenders... It is possible, but some members need more retooling than others. Sludge, Swoop and Scarr into Birdbrain, Wildfly and Bristleback are somewhat easy with a simple dino head and arm/legs swaps, but Grimlock, Snarl and Slug into Icepick, Scowl and Slog requires some creativity.

Wanted to share an updated image of my wreckers, who have received a bunch of new members thanks to Legacy. And once she arrives, I'll need to decide if Strongarm goes here, or if the existing Strongarm here stays and the new Legacy one goes to the aligned shelf

My Dreadwing and Shadow Striker arrived today, I already liked the Skyquake mould but Dreadwing has a much nicer colour scheme. Shadow Striker looks a bit odd in both modes, and the tabs on the car's roof has a habit of popping out, but the transformation is fun and very creative compared to many other car bots. I don't hate her, but I can definitely see why others do.

Just a humorous observation... anyone else notice the stock photo of Trashmaster on Amazon.com occasionally shows a picture of Play-Doh :lol: .
