I actually think this looks pretty decent. Their Warpath isn't as good looking but is ok enough that if the price is right for the set of three I may skip FansToys for them. Brawn is just a "completionist" character for me and this looks tons better than Badcubes attempt so I'd be happy with it. The Warpath and Huffer also look okay to me so...

I'm not going to quote other members posts here but oh my God why do we keep seeing "I hope the colors aren't final" or "these colors are all wrong" on so many posts here when the text with the pictures clearly says that? Same thing happening in their Warpath thread. Sheesh.

READ people. Save yourself some anguish over colors, lol.


IN THE POST WITH THE PICS:

"Picture non Final color matching"

 

I was referring to the windows of the legs.

 

I'm glad colors aren't final as this looks hideous.

 

is the head too small?
carry on...

 

Saw the price here:

#28
官方指导价：套装6XX元（预订有优惠）预计上市时间：2018年12月（仅供参考，发售时间以实际为准）

Let's say it's 699 RMB MSRP in China, that's 100 USD. So US price might be 130~140? That's a set of 3 figures.

 

too much for my tastes. i need more for that price. i was hoping for a glorified upscaled hot soldier price of 75-90 US price at most.

 

I think it's too early to say if price is worth. If color is not final we should stand and wait ... But if no rocker... Oh my god, as I said in some other thread, I can't accept in 2018 lack of rocker,it's like deleting 3 years in mp progress

 

Its $109 shipped from showz for all 3

 

Big boy gets bigger foys

 

If BC had done better lower legs, this would have NO chance. Physically speaking, BC reminds me of Brawn. This new guy, has too much waist. Brawn always to me would be like he should live in Middle earth, forging a bloody axe for battle verses Orcs.  

 

From the comments in that same Baidu thread:

3 sets of more than 600, very expensive. Dahan also has shock absorption settings. The
three strong warriors 01-War Machine (Trenches) The weight of the unit is 215g. The vehicle can be retractable, the hatch can be opened, the turret can be rotated 360°, the rear end of the tank can be opened to assist the missile, and the mp is matched. The carriage, the overall alloy of the turret. The three strong warriors 02 vigorously Hummer (Dahan) single weight 170g, equipped with 4 rounds of built-in spring suspension mechanism, 4 alloy wheel rubber tires, full alloy, human face changing mechanism, rubber mirror. The three strong warriors 03 Lu Xun chariot (Lu Yi) single weight 160g, alloy proportioning, rubber tires, rubber reversing mirror, human face changing mechanism, can be equipped with mp car. Official Guide Price: Set 6XX yuan (booking discount) Estimated time to market: December 2018 (for reference only, the release time is subject to actual)
I think the first is Wardog, the second Brawn and the last is Huffer (gven "can be equipped with MP car" - probably means can tow Primes trailer)

So it may be 600 rather than 699, which is closer to US$85. That's just on the wrong side of too much for m, but a lot better than the big retailers at minimum of $110.
Show.z is usually 30-35% more epensive than TaoBao so it could come in even cheaper. I'll reserve judgement on final cost.

 

How hard is it to face sculpt features? Seriously it looks like they paste the face features onto a flat surface. Who does that???

 

Just updated my collages  

 

Brawny... still looks better to me. 

 

Yeah. FV haven't bothered with the spare tyre on the roof or the canister on the rear and the hands look like something from an upscaled legends+ figure.

 

Can't lie... really liking how this and their Buffer are looking!

 

It's a good entry into the MP scaled 3P Brawn options. The tires look to be rubber or rubber-like which is advantage of Badcube's version. I wish Badcube would get with the program and use rubber/rubber-like tires on their mini-bots.

However for me there's just these things.

1. The other options do a better job at hiding the wheels in the legs of the bot mode
2. Outside of wrist swivel there is no hand/finger articulation whatsoever unlike the other options. Those hands look like hands you'd expect to find on legends scale figures. For me that won't cut it for MP scale, not even MP scale mini-bots.
3. The way the side mirrors and windshield have splits going down the middle of them.
4. Darkened headlights

 

None of these except brawny capture that barrel chested look and giant head. The feet on ft look Better but none of these quite hit the mark.

 

This is a tough one for me. I was all set to upgrade my Brawny with Fanstoys, and although their 'bot mode is still the best, (imo) Final Victory's alt. mode blows all the others away. I might just have to get this now.

I'm sticking With XTB Krank for my Huffer for the same reason.

 

I'd pay 36 each for Brawn and WP but, I dont know if I'd pay to buy them all at once.

$109 is a lot to plunk down for something like these.

I'll wait and see what that price does. I'm sure show.z gets tired of refunding me PO.

Hopefully, HZJ will get them, and split them up.
