I am so happy Noah is getting a figure, and it's even cooler that he and Mirage are in the same wave.

Look at my sig, that answers it.

I have to wonder when the design changed to have Arcee go from a pink face to a white one? All of the merch gives her a pink face like in the Bumblebee movie, but in ROTB it's white with pink "cheeks" and not a single figure reflects that. Even the stock figure packaging uses a pink face. I'm going to guess that's one of those things they refined during that year long delay, back when most of the toys were meant to be released. This standee I found looks more like the toys, all the way down to the headlight chest and seems to be what most of the toys are based on.







The final design used in the movie ended up like this:




So do you think we'll ever see a movie accurate Arcee toy? Would they even attempt it with an MP?

Ahh.. Takara takes onscreen accuracy to the extreme.

That one fling with Black Arachnia. Was burning when he leaked luibricant. He's getting treatment for it now.

The upcoming Noah in Exosuit, released as a core class figure in Studio Series, shows us new functionality. We can see that the humanoid figure seperates from the plane, giving us a more accurate figure.

You can see it below along with new shots of MPM Bonecrusher, the Lunar Optimus, the Beast Wars Returns sets and more.

Every time I see that transparent plastic, re-used from Voyager Ironhide to Ratchet, it fills me with anger and woe. They had a chance to fix that and use consistent plastic across the entire figure, and they FAILED. Looks like the paint discoloration will be as glaring and obvious on Ratchet....

And did they re-tool the Legacy Bomb-Burst mold for that Noah exo suit?

Recently found the files to 3D print a Frenzy to scale with Studio Series, and took the opportunity to refresh my paint work on Barricade!

Really surprised we haven't seen a Frenzy pack-in figure yet in SS, he's one of the more prominent Decepticons in the 2007 movie.

Great work! I'm similarly surprised and disappointed by the lack of Frenzy... I remember thinking he would be packed in with 2007 Megatron in Studio Series, back before we got that figure.

Thank you! I think Megatron would have been a good pick too, maybe a future frozen NBE-1 retool will include Frenzy? That'd be cool!

I could get behind this, I have always loved "Ice Megatron"

Yeah, I always wanted to get the 2007 voyager.

Thanks to a new review, we have our best look yet at the upcoming Studio Series leader Optimus Primal. The review shows that the transformation is very involved for every limb, something which has not been the case with any Rise of the Beasts Optimus Primal toy. This gives us a good look at the scale of the figure compared to Optimus Prime. You'll let us know if it works well enough for you. With the Studio Series line, the focus was always on robot mode scale rather than alt mode scale but with the beast wars characters being more prominent in their beast forms in the film, that may yield conflicting results for some.
