    Nice. Been debating getting the PE ones, but they're getting hard to find. Hopefully these come out quick and are a decent quality.

    One thing you can absolutely count on w/Mech Fans Toys is high quality.

    With that said, I'm all over this set when it comes out. My collection needs some Reflector love.

    I really hope they do the toy-accurate versions as well.

    I love my PE Scouting Forces and am stoked they're getting upscaled (though I do wish these were going to be SLIGHTLY smaller, more in the 8.5 cm range; FWIW, the PE originals are 6.5 cm tall).

    Does anyone have a copy of the list of items coming out from MFT, I think it showed a numbered list with shadow images of the upcoming items, came out over a year ago...wondering how far down they are on their posted production plans. When will their reflector come out?

    Wow, these MFT guys give 0 effs for borrowing from other companies. This does look pretty awesome though. A great mash up between Perfect Effect and Maketoys.

    Almost makes me consider collecting your Legends + scale...almost MFT...you bastards...

    No need to go that far (i.e. collecting MFT's entire legends + scale), at least if you listen to what I've been telling myself: Reflector is about carbot size in the Sunbow scale chart and 9.5cm -- reportedly the size of these "Camera Brothers" -- is basically the size of DX9 and IF carbots (and MST's too, I'd reckon). So although I'd still prefer them to be a little smaller, these still might work at legends (rather than legends +) scale. Reviews, comparison shots, etc. might say otherwise, but until then, I'll live in hope. :)

    I'm likely going to go with the other size of Reflector assuming it's easily obtainable I like the size of those. I agree though the small size MFT work well as ordinary Legends compatible toys better (much like I prefer Wei Jiang's War God to MFT's take on Hulkie for legends+ size play).

    I'm more interested in Legends+ at the moment since Legends are next to impossible to get in the UK at ordinary retail in most locations.

    Should be some "Start Of Summer" offers soon so I'll consider getting some more then.

    Random Question : Can the Machine Boy Optimus / Pipes mould hold the MFT Dinobot swords ?

    What do you think the price of the MFT Reflector will be compared to the Papa's? Does Papa produce good quality stuff?

    I’m pretty sure their Reflector will be their first release!

    typo correction: "their first release!"

    Personally, I am waiting to see some video reviews before I purchase anything.

    Thanks. They look nice but I want to see a comparison between Papa and MFT and have someone evaluate the quality of both.
