    Indeed. PE's Scouting Force and all their Targetmaster takes on Casseticons are still some of my favorite third party figures; they hold up well to present standards.


    That actually came to mind. \m/

    CHUG Reflector? I may pick a set up for my TFP crew if it turns out looking good enough. I still want specifics on their mould tweaks.

    Edit: video shows tweaks like new camera lens, peg on shutter button, door panels to fill in the rear of their legs, new feet, and I believe new faces too, though they look identical to each other.

    Around ~8:17 they talk about how PE's Scouting Force was $100, and then go on to say this one will be a third of the price.

    I think the AFX version (toy colors) was near that. The SFX version (animation colors) was around $80, I think

    This sounds about right. I'd say before 3p legends really blew up you could find a used set for ~$50 like I did, but with the small parts and issues the figure had at release, it's a gamble to buy used. I only bought mine because it was from a board member.

    Still, a great set to get, though I'd recommend waiting for this or the expected MFT KO over getting one of the originals, just because of the risks there.

    If you want a Reflector to be a biggish Boy then it's nice for Chug. sure but if you want it for another reason - I got to wondering - how might they look with KFC's over-size spy Cassettes ? Or the Overscale MP's in general Like Wei Jiang's Ironhide.

    Personally so long as they 12cm or less I'm gonna think to use them with Mech Fans toys scale stuff.
    I wonder if this is MFT's Reflector or if something else is ? (as one does appear on their release chart).

    OK Let me Clarify then ;

    1) Is Papa Toys another sub-brand mark for Mech Fans Toys (Like Machine Boy is part of the same group ID) some suspect That small Overlord might be too.

    2) If not then what I was also saying it for was - if Mech Fans toys did do Perfect Effect might it be the same mould as this one - but in one of the other colours (like the Dinobots had two colours under two brands)

    3) If Papa Toys is nothing to do with MFT/MB then do they have any links to any other marks (Like KFC has)

    But in general I'm just wondering how this will fit in size wise with whatever MFT makes and if this is unrelated completely it might be bigger - and so have a whole other set of uses to what it would if it was under 12cm.

    I bought all the colours of the PE ones so I'm up for buying them larger in all colours too. They might be even more fun to play with. Though that said this thread makes me want to dig out the PE ones again now.
