I am amazed at the SIZE difference between the NEWAGE and Magic Square. The cars are near identical in proportions, but the 'bot difference is simply incredible.

For MS car bots, this is probably the best one.
@papastar570211 ай бұрын
If the difference between the two Jazzes wow you, just compare the New Age Sheen (Mirage) with the MS version of Mirage. This KZbinr has a great video on par with this one showcasing Legends Mirage. Huuuuuge difference between the two. I had bought the New Age one and it is cool. But the MS one is way better as far as capturing the toon look. Also both Mirages look very similar in car mode like these Jazz do. Great job Optimus Legend.

Oh and by the way, a special thank you to OptimusLegends. His videos have helped me decide to buy some of these TF legends scale figs. Since I found your channel, I’ve gotten my hands on the MS version of Mirage and Jazz. These are two that I was on the fence about until I saw your reviews. Thank you again.

I've avoided the Masterpiece line (and 3rd party) because of budget and space constraints.

Just got MS Prime 2.0, Jazz, Hound & Mirage. I’ve been collecting Newage up until this point, but picked up some Magic Square figures to see what the fuss was about for myself. After having played with both, I can sum up the differences as follows. Newage “feels” more premium. Diecast adds heft and I’m not sure how (maybe oil or just great tolerances with nice materials), but NA transformations feel silky smooth. They tend to be noticeable smaller and in some cases (NA Mirage for example), this leads to more of a Chibi look. MS on the other had does have more cartoon-esque proportions, but the extra width of the bot modes is less to my liking (but that’s wholly subjective). MS bots are cool, but the biggest turn off for me is the lack of heft. These guys are LIGHTWEIGHTS. That makes them great for taking to the office, but less great for stability when posing. They’re not bad by any stretch, but after having had both, NA is still my “go to” for Legends figures. Thanks so much for your review!!!

I love my Transformers but, these third party Transformers makes the Takara Tomy / Hasbro versions look bad and cheap with all the hollowness some of them has.

Hi Denkin, thank you so much for subbing! In this post, there is a behind the scene shot, and it might be easy to see the actual setup. kzbin.infoUgkx8cnXHmwz0lxPZ0NuhlUyjY6v54ORxu_k. It's fairly straightforward, a mirrorless camera with HDMI output to a computer as the monitor, I am using Sony a6300, a rather cheap but old option, if you want to go 4k 60fps you might need to get newer models. 2 or 3 LED lights with soft box, google some lighting tutorial to learn in less than 10 mins. For me I am using voice over to reduce the noise and ambient sound, so a decent microphone and audacity (freeware) for editing, for post I am using premiere pro, but for my level of editing, most software would do. I am also just getting started, so let's learn and share our hobbies together!
