    Well now that I know Mattel doesn't have an exclusive contract. So Studio series Dino could be a Ferrari Italia 458.

    To be honest, if we did make a separate thread for 3P Bayverses, what would be have to share?

    OSKOs
    Weijiang
    Unique Toys
    Alien Attack
    Dream Factory

    And so on, I believe the current 3P Bay market is too small to sustain a thread itself without oversaturating the thread with the same figure 50 times in a row. Besides it’s easier to get noticed here than on 3P Discussion threads.

    Each figure gets its own thread. That's how 3P always works. For whatever reason some movie fans just decide to bring it over here as well.

    I think the point here is that this thread shouldn't be filled with people discussing a new figure like the OS SS Megatron that Dream Factory is putting out. I agree that this should be a place to discuss movie toys but I can see how at times it's frustrating when you come here expecting to see appreciation for toys and all you see is a conversation about Megatron's treads.

    I'm not a mod and I didn't create this thread so it's not up to me but anyone who wants to discuss 3rd Party Movie figures is more than welcome to join the discussion I've made here:
    3rd Party Movie Universe Discussion

    Edit: I also think we should keep in mind though that this thread was created well before anyone ever thought we would have 3rd Party Movie toys so I think we should be accommodating and understand that this thread is fluid.

    FTR I really don't mind the 3P pics, it's just disappointing when I come in here to see cool pictures like the other appreciation threads. For some reason this one comes with the baggage of many pages of discussion about which OS Prime to buy in what color scheme and which smokestacks are more accurate every time someone shares a 3P pic.

    The pics of movie toys are great. It doesn't matter where it comes from. The thing is, they need to be YOUR photos. Not stock photos or upcoming items. I don't care if it's 3P or official or KO, but we don't need repeated news outlets of stuff that's coming when we have clear and appropriate threads on those.

    And the reason for that is because we then get pages of discussion instead of pages of photos, which is the root of the thread.

    It's lame af coming into this thread seeing people talk about what's coming and what isn't for pages at at time with the occasional photo thrown in instead of the other way around. Or posts about what sodapop they like the best. This isn't a spam thread.

    Pretty sure that's the point of this thread. Photos. Your photos. Of movie toys. 3P, KO, legit. Post your photos.

    Please.

    It really depends on whether HasTak wants to use it or not.

    Just take Lockdown for example. HasTak had his license but for some reason all but Lockdown’s AOE and SS Deluxes were faux-Lambos.
    It’s almost like Hasbro can only use the license on one mold per toyline as they again repeated this idiotic practice with TLK Drift, Cogman, and Hot Rod.

    I highly agree! We are fan of "transformers" no more no less!

    Hahahahahaha

    I really dont know why somebody really butthurt about KO or 3p, i know they are like piracy but i think we just love figures no matter what brand they are so we just buy the best interpretation of the character in toys

    I think it is hastak fault by not maximizing the design for mpm or any bayverse, cause looking at the MP dinobot, it looks so exquisite and premium, they fill him with love lol

    I did a thing...

    IMG_20180817_232142~3.jpg IMG_20180817_231939~2.jpg IMG_20180817_232149~2.jpg IMG_20180817_231933~2.jpg

    Sorry for the horrible pictures, they don't do these magnificently awkward beasts any justice. And props to whoever did that Optimus first. Gave me the inspiration to try and find walking vehicle modes for the others lol
