Studio Series TLK Syndrome: Releasing a figure and like, two years later release it with more accesories AND better paint

[@Zurknim2087]

Qué haces aca capo ? XD

[@Keithchan2024]

I’m still waiting for a new TLK Optimus mold

[@thedrifter5531]

i mean studio series starscream is legit a upscaled deluxe figure bayverse optimus has tf prime optimus's upper transformations and evasion mode prime's leg transformation bumblebee is legit just a TLK figure with remolded parts

[@Jetthehawk1994]

Ectotron isn't a full retool of a combiner wars figure, but he does share some parts with the combiner wars Hot Spot/Onslught mold.

[@slickmanfonzthatanti-troll]

This is actually based off of the transformation of the Combiner Wars Hotspot. Also I really hope Hasbro Releases a Ghostbusters 2 Ecto-1A Ectotron. But give him the grey uniform color & give him an option to have a Slime Blower

oh man, this looks really nice!!! kinda glad i sold off my first release ectotron so i can hunt this one down well done as always bro 👍🏻😀

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Thanks so much! Cant wait to see your take on this guy :)

[@starscreamsseekers1686]

Now that you mentioned it, he really does look like a CW retool. That shin shrink and head foldy downy in the transformation is defo from someone in that line...years later the retools are still haunting us😶

[@masterboa6321]

"head foldy downy" wheeze

[@stormtroopertk4285]

Reminds me of combiner wars Onslaught/Hotspot

[@roxyprime2564]

I have CW Onslaught and I can confirm that Ectotron uses much of Onslaught's engineering, which I actually like because it's a mold that I really love

Don't forget about Hot Spot

[@ozzy9226]

I had to buy this transformer he was haunting my dreams

[@TheHylden]

As for the windows, for some reason most ecto-1 creations seem to miss that they were tinted with a stripe that isn't along the center of the window. They could have made the windows dark on both versions. I don't know why it's necessary to put the tube of the proton pack as the antenna. It looks weird with that thick hose there, but otherwise it's a nice figure. The comic inclusion is great.

[@meganura1559]

It would've been nice if we got the headscuplt from this one on the origional

[@virginiagordons4930]

I'm not too big of a ghostbusters fan, but I liked the review cause it combined some of the best elements of a crossover and and transformers

[@kingmarkseven17]

The problem with this version is the price hike to $60 which isn't worth it. The only extras are Muncher and the comic book which doesn't equal another $20 added to the price. I could see if they did a better paint job to it but they half-assed it on the paint and I agree with you about the goggles /head sculpt. I did buy this figure because I missed out on the first version but ended up returning it because I would rather use that money towards my pre-orders of other figures I'm still waiting on.

[@JJPrimeReviews2020]

I recently reviewed this figure and it is just amazing! The deco on this figure is so much better than the original Ectotron and the inclusion of the comic book is a very nice touch. Anyway, great review as always PVP! Keep it up!

[@CReese-os8fc]

just got this and the Titans Ark yesterday and the first review I watched for the Ark the showcaser called it a pizza and the Teletraan one a COMPOOTER. Nice to see that you are as passionate as I and you know your stuff. Subbed and will come back for more. Very thorough, you pack a lot of info in - actually had to watch this one twice to get it all haha. Those tube tabs though....oh and now I finally know what the blue one is lol. DIdn't even know there was a new movie coming. Thanks and greetings from Taiwan!

[@nexornator]

man so glad I was to get the new version a few moments ago from Amazon, right now these ones already double its price on ebay and even more, love the transformation of it really look like a true G1 transformation, the ECTO 1 mode looks so damn nice!

[@NealBoyce]

absolutely loved the video man, keep up your amazing channel as really love what you do. I'm defiantly going to track one of these down as I'm a massive fan of both Transformers and Ghostbusters. Like you I'm so keen for the movie, can't wait :-)

[@pokeprime94]

Oh wow I haven’t been on this channel in a while. It’s so nice to hear him not Screaming HELLO GUYS AND WELCOME BACK TO THE CHANNEL!!! Much nicer as chill

[@soundwave-superior7372]

Something I wished they did was change the colour of the blue cord to Black to make it more accurate and use a tainted clear plastic for the windows to make it look more dusty

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

With the rerelease coming out September I finally decided to grab up the original. Didn't even know there even was an Afterlife variation, but yellowing effect is absolutely on point. Windows also don't look anywhere as nice as the original as they almost have a Smokey tint to them. While I think Hasbro could have done a lot better than adapt the CW Hotspot/Onslaught mold (as I think they were shared) the complete reshelling of the car mode looks spectacular. Would have been nice to see some better modern articulation but overall the size is great in both modes nearing closer to modern Leader than Voyager which is about half the size of this now. Also love the inclusion of the Slimer figure.

[@thepopculturebuff5080]

Actually I have no problem with the windshields being clear as it is more clear in Afterlife, but on the original model, I wished it was the sort of half black line tint like in the og 1984 film

[@FrackingItUp]

Thanks, that blue tube was passing me off🤟💯🤟💯

[@duffzilla1292]

Ectotron isn’t a retool of a combiner wars figure but he shares some parts with Onslaught, mainly the upper legs

[@goatnfrog1735]

That's what a retool is, they share the same transformation.

[@duffzilla1292]

@@goatnfrog1735 no, a retool is taking an already existing mold, and changing a few parts to make something new. For instance, Smokescreen is a retool of Prowl, with a new front part for the car. A figure sharing a few parts isn’t a retool, it’s just sharing a few parts.

[@mediarandom376]

It would be cool for them to make a cross over combiner, ‘Crossicus’

[@90lancaster]

I had to put a tiny bit of nail polish on the tab to keep his backpack in place on mine, his knees are also crazy loose - so I've has to floor polish his knees as well - so he's not a solid overall as Gigawatt - he's OK for what he is - though I think ideally the google should be raisable.

[@LilTerror210]

This figure looks great! Transformers should make Max's Imperator from Mad Max a Transformer! I think it will look very interesting and cool!

[@Nightbeat9123]

I hope we get a Deluxe sized version sometimes in the future. This mold is too large to be posed with Generations figures.

[@AlcoholAndAnimeNight]

Got this guy for Christmas. So badly want to open it but it looks really cool in the packaging,,,

[@bytisoli]

The headsculpt on the first edition was my only problem with the figure. This new edition? It's perfect! Luckily, local e-shop stocked him today (for first time and only one piece) so I ordered him the moment I've seen him.

[@qxillanote9952]

You are right, it is a very heavy remold of power of the prime inferno.

[@fardeentahir6010]

This is a nice figure might pick it up if I can find it. Also great review!

I have the original, my reason for that is the packaging is very eighties meaning Generation 1. And oh yes I do have two of them. One inbox and the other men lose complete.

[@frenchfriedbagel7035]

This character mold used to be for a crane. Let that sink in.

[@Stringer7390]

I believe he has a similar transformation to combiner wars Onslaught, a great figure if you ask me.

[@mystics1ay3r17]

Because he’s a retool of that figure. All of the collaborative figures are retools of previous ones. Ectotron is onslaught, Gigawatt is Sideswipe, Ultimate X-spanse is Studio Series Jetfire. Maverick is the only new mold.

[@legoobi-wankenobi8519]

@@mystics1ay3r17 maverick uses parts or at least some of the transformation of studio series dropkick

@@legoobi-wankenobi8519 Similar engineering but none of the same parts. Same deal as Sunstreaker and wheeljack in Earthrise.

Definitely a step backwards compared to the 2019 release, imo I preferred the G1 style packaging too

[@bigred6978]

Same I think the old packaging is way better I threw the new packaging away the moment I got mine out of the box but you get an extra ghost and a comic book for around the same price as the old one so it’s a win in my book

I agree! That is the worst crossover I have reviewed so far

[@cujoedaman]

I didn't like that he costs $30 more for just a comic and an extra ghost... only Hasbro. But! Here's hoping for the Ghostbusters 2 Ecto-1A version :D

[@PrimeVsPrime]

That’s true! It is overpriced :(

[@alanervin8192]

The both of these are remolds of combiner wars hotshot and inferno

[@QuantaSolace]

BigBadToyStore has the original Ecto-1 on pre-order. I honestly prefer the original because of the paint job that it has. The rusting on the newer figure just doesn't look good.

Transformers crossover with back to the future , top gun ,etc and Hasbro did will do or not with transformers crossover with marvel??

[@acoote1701]

They are remoulding SS ROTF Jetfire to become the Transformers/X-men crossover (guess that qualifies as Marvel)

Is this one going to be just as difficult to find as the first release? after all I've been hunting for the mine for two years almost! I have noticed the price tag for this one is higher than the first release. what's wrong Hasbro never heard of keeping the price down low. 20 would have been a nice price tag. That is still double the original price of an Autobot car back in the '80s and the 2000s. What's wrong the coronavirus got y'all's wallet screaming for money!
