Fanshobby Double Evil (Overlord)

[@CoffeePhilosophy]

Had to comment, I just got Double Evil today and I’m ruined for life. 3rd party is the way to go.

[@DolkkarToyznstuff]

I think you hit the nail on the head, most collectors are not as savvy as they think they are and get it wrong in terms of scale and how certain designs are to be utilized within certain collections. Great point, great review! Thank you for taking the time.

[@i.still.function3463]

Damn I feel like I need a Cigarette after this review lol.

[@AlexReynard]

"It looks like a toy." Maybe some of us specifically want an upgraded G1 toy Overlord.

[@Alzeal07]

he didn't say it's bad, he said it doesn't fit that well with a Mp collection because of it, which is true, and it's Mp scale so it's a legitimate complaint

[@henmar354]

This is a beautiful piece. Exactly what I want a "Masterpiece" Overlord to look like. The decals and colour make it too good looking to be displayed among my other masterpiece figures.

[@mentalicmutant1758]

Recently got this guy used with the IDW upgrade kit. He looks great. He indeed has a toy vibe, but that's part of the charm. He makes a great display piece with other somewhat toy deco figures (the BC Collector's Edition Insecticons in my case). The biggest issue I have is finding a place to display him (due to his size). I have to have him in a sort of kneeling position on my shelf but he still looks good. Thankfully, he is so well-articulated that kneeling/crouching is no problem. He is also super stable when posed that way.

[@razingst0rm]

Happy I bought it. Good look-over.

[@tatt4music]

Just an FYI. The turret is the part that turn where the barrel of the cannon connects to. ;) Great figure and great review.

[@LS-jk3fk]

YESS!! it's finally here! Can't wait to open this guy after we move. :D AWESOME

[@Suazman2]

Great Video. Enjoyed it! Base mode looks huge... Might want it for that alone. With my legends figures. Thanks. Bobby for the insight. And great work.

[@rafaelochoa9776]

Awesome figure. Don’t know that much about the character but Still want to Purchase him soon.

[@Dapper0Scrapper]

I've had mine for a couple of weeks now and love him from the top of his antennae to the bottom of his disproportionately small feet

[@EpykkDyzastur]

I like the weapon holding slider on the hands better than the MP tab-in ports.

[@Zenith-SMK]

I agree, tabs come undone much easier than a rail

[@ssjMaximum22Goku]

Damn, Fans Hobby is one hell of an underrated company. They've yet to make a bad figure. Really loving Double Evil.

[@bigtastey7707]

You know I watched Ben’s video and I don’t remember him mentioning all the accessories and Stow away locations so thanks for the attention to detail as usual.👍🏾

[@eyedestroyeverything9953]

Aside from that “shield “ on his left arm this guy is sick 🔥🔥🔥

[@BricksOnTheDollar]

When are we getting that Bobby ASMR snapping connection supercut? Just POP POP POP! Riding the line of satisfying and terrifying.

[@suprasport9118]

Fanshobby a Bodybuilder and Mmc carnifex is a Basketball player! Great video!

[@shane3674]

A big plus for me is all of the accessory storage.

[@mark4flair376]

Most important question..... Can I stuff him into a Detolf sideways?

[@diegodankquixote-wry3242]

Do you mean HFTD or ROTF? I don't think you put this on armda sideways

[@drewc9169]

I appreciate your fair reviews on stuff you aren't interested in. I personally like the plastic they use. Fanshobby is going after characters that aren't chosen slam dunk hits. I think their products are priced relatively low for what you get which makes them kind of a why not purchas. I'm ok with fanshobby taking liberties and using cheaper but still quality plastic on characters I don't care about.

[@2007suprasport]

Wow!!! Absolutely phenomenal figure!!! As always great review!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@msha1450]

Dope figure!

[@TrypticOwen]

I was ready to deride this as another 'masterpiecification-by-numbers' from this company but actually I think it's really interesting - smart use of parts and I find the sculpt to be brave (in the sense that, with the godmasters not resembling Giga and Mega and the IDW-ish face sculpt, it is a very western Overlord when I would have expected it would be made to cater for, and hence attract purchases from, the Japanese Masterforce fans, too). I like the ab crunch system and I also like the hints of Starcom in the jet sculpt.

[@HAGZ0483]

Looks really nice, I'm just not a fan of the oversized kibble (I know OL has those parts, but FH made them huge) and undersized gun.

[@toomanylies7716]

It looks great in videos and pics, but yeah, if the plastic is more of a toy version I don't know if I'll pick up the re-release. I like him from the IDW stuff and wouldn't mind having a representation of him but I don't need him.

[@astartespete]

If i didn't already have mmc's id be down for this, but I don't have the strength of connection to the character to need it to be totally faithful and accurate, in fact its only the idw one I really have any experience of. He sits with my mp's and fulfills the role I need of him, which is really all that matters. Can't deny this looks good tho.

[@Alex876]

his shield is also used as a weapon in the show that he shoots out and blasts planes or autobots and such bascially a drone minion thing

[@diegodankquixote-wry3242]

I'm at awe with the size of this lad

[@kappa4087]

Hey Bobby are you going to be looking at magic square repaint of prime that is now ultra magus without his armour

[@ramirezana062689]

Fans toys Hoodlum was teased years ago, while Fans Hobby got this figure out in pretty decent time.

[@robertdigianni3484]

Didn't fanshobby show the prototype at tfcon Charlotte??!

[@ramirezana062689]

Robert DiGianni MMC Carnifex was teased at TFcon Charlotte not Double Evil, and Hoodlum was teased at least four years ago.

[@AltronT]

I still think an MP scaled Tarn would look great next to this guy, plus I need all my Decepticon warlords.

[@aaronmauer7225]

My issues with this is the feet are to narrow which makes it a little unstable. Also the shin flaps do not tab in properly on mine. Over all I am happy but it isn’t perfect

[@scottmackie8900]

I got mine at tf con in Toronto it is amazing the articulation is fantastic and the ingenuity the two little robots are nice the coloring on him is great the head sculpt is fantastic so a realy good transformer the feet are small and the gun is smaller than i thought it would be i cant give it a 10/10 all though the positives out way the negatives he is intimidating and better then Megatron in my opinion overlord is no pushover if he came to earth in the movies he would destroy Megatron because overlord doesn't take orders if Megatron even said something to him like a dise he would just go all out on him and make sure that he has megatrons spark in his hands and crush it he is death in transformer form may primus have mercy on megatrons spark lol 😜

[@jordanjitta9015]

Wasn't this guy in the prime wars trilogy? He and a black coloured rodimus killed all the combiners and predaking ,right?

[@defstar1774]

Looks solid.

[@havocdogg]

Wow the stress marks on the feet transformation. Did it break yet? or is it waiting for a slight breeze? Either that or the lights are at just the right angle to give that effect

[@tronlives1004]

Looks Amazing!!!!

[@THEShoky]

so much time travel in these accessories.

[@f1nalboss]

What's ur opinion on the best soundwave to display with my mmc tyrantron and kultur?

[@LFITZ0315]

Got mine

[@Xsis_Vorok]

Good vid.Too bad you won't be able to compare Master Made's Ceasar to this.

[@nephilim6001]

Can someone please help me by telling me if fans hobby all plastic figures are good quality in terms of not being bad quality plastic please

[@Pikminer-5087]

But is it better than MMC Carnifex? Perhaps a battle in the future?

[@Pikminer-5087]

@Dick Jones ah. Different aesthetics.

[@i.still.function3463]

Really no point bc Carnifex is more of a chug while this is an MP. As for Aesthetics, it's really on what you like more. No need to get an approval from anyone,if you like it get it lol. That's all that should matter.

[@iamtheomnimonkey]

Thumbs up for the Blackpanther comment alone. Oh...And the rest of the video was fine too.

[@STN3050]

I am hoping that Carnifex starts dropping in price now

[@johnlant1730]

Nice bot. But I just have no attachment to this character.

[@alphatrion100]

Me neither. I never watched the cartoon he was in so no nostalgia.

[@chancylvania]

@@alphatrion100 I know him from last stand of the wreckers so...

[@alphatrion100]

@@chancylvania i only love the g1 cartoon and the marvel comic from the same era. When the cartoon went japanese only, sure, the characters i loved were partly still there and the animation style was still the same but the stories and dialogue were sooo bad! They turned it into a cringey animé imo. And i missed the american voice cast. So I went to enjoy other things after season 4.

[@kevliao]

Good point. No matter how great the toy is, if you have no attachment to it (ie didn't watch it in cartoons growing up), the desire to buy is just not there.

[@hyperchord]

I love fanshobby's chunky plastic. I feel like I'm in the minority

[@roosjen]

Did I miss Tigertracks?

[@8474Starscream]

Great review fellow collector. Not feeling this version of Overlord....looks more on par with what Hasbro would release under Power of the Primes opposed to Takara Masterpiece. Sticking with MMC Overlord.

[@MtgVeteran]

He scales with power baser but neither of them are proper mp scale which is annoying seeing as they are the only company that seems to intend on completing the cast.

[@JackelKarlos]

"everything is evil!"

[@diegodankquixote-wry3242]

I am not nice!

[@joey159213]

Mmc version still holds to me as the best version.

[@NinjabillReviews]

Nice review ..you uh .. mentioned that Gigatron's two God Masters were "fellas" ... In fact, that is a false statement, Giga, and Mega was husband and wife, they were not both male characters. Just FYI for future reference. Hahaha. If you follow the original continuity, not the other lesser continuities. I might add the last bit was sarcasm, intention gets lost in text.

[@theintangiblecog5157]

Sneezing, Mr. Skullface? You should get yourself checked out by nurse Ratchet! lol

[@nestronicalnet7620]

Hate it when I can't put my bots doing the splits on my shelves 😤

[@bobby101a]

I do believe the breastmaster one is called Giga and Mega evil husband and wife duo.

It's not dirt bobby! It's paint dust, unfortunately my hobby x2 is in the same place.

Real cool figure and a good review but if you have an allergy to ratchets, stay away from them. For health reasons.

I hate the teal

They're called Godmasters.

Damn allergies....lol

[@gaiusfreeman5028]

I don't much care for the aesthetic, mostly due to the colours. I'd like to see a less pastel recolour, as I don't give a damn about toon accuracy.
