Got the toon version using $80 in showzstore credit, haven’t opened it yet. Looks clean. The engineers of these third party toys are really clever, and assembling these toys is a whole different story. The whole process seems pretty pain staking just to bring us the characters from our childhoods. I’ll pay the premium price. They are so well thought out, and although there are sometimes issues, we are witnessing some special toys these days.

@adrianli7559 Жыл бұрын
This figure definitely had its frustrating moments, but for what it has to pull off, you can't really blame them. However, looking at FT's new Blaster (not saying that XTB isn't guilty of this either), a blocky robot turning into a cassette player (which is effectively just a box with a handle), it shouldn't even be comparable in complexity.

There's a double bend on the elbows. The second bend is just very snug.

@dustyyshellz1320 Жыл бұрын
Yeah you can extend the arm and get a second joint, really insane engineering. You can just force it and it’ll come out or you can pull the forearm to extend it out, well if you transform it you’ll know that as well

I can’t recall if I’ve seen this for others but I didn’t see it here - can the truck part actually turn independent of moving the trailer park like a real semi truck/trailer does? Or is it stuck as one straight semi truck/trailer?

It's a 2.0, alright; their previous effort was over on the other brand, Keith's Fantasy Club EAVI Metal Phase III "Citizen Stack". That was definitely a more stylized offering, maybe a more IDW look? Not sure what they were going for with that thing. I personally didn't like it, and I'm not a fan of this newfangled one, either, with its FansToys level nightmare fuel transformation. Think I'll stick to hunting for the Toy House Factory "Hyper Magnum" KO of MP22 Ultra Magnus...or wait to see if the FansToys offering gets KO'd.

Try holding down the button for a while, pressing on the very left side of the button or just press the button a few times. Mine did not work right away but after pulled the batteries and tested them, pressed the button a few times it worked. I figured it was because my batteries are really low and very old
