    I got the Wei Jiang Constructicons today - surprisingly they also have metal parts - plastic quality is very good too.
    The only small issue I can complain about is the missing ankle tilt on scrapper and that the hand guns are a rather tight fit - otherwise they are a greay buy - the only other thing that might make some go with the next size down in size is that Scrapper is quite big as is Longhaul - but they still work fine with Mech fans toys scale if you don't mind your Constructicons chunky.

    Voyager size Upscale of the Generations Arcee. the white box version has a new head the black box version has a less attractive head.
    Basically it's a cheap Masterpiece place holder I guess you could say.

    Articulation is good enough to pull off some wrestling moves.

    They're all basic wrestling moves. From left to right its the k9 takedown, the missionary piledriver and the 69 slam. And remember, all moves are performed by trained professionals, so do not try these at home.

    That's fine but you're clearly not their target market. These are what the fandom is calling legends+. A kind of made up scale just above legends. These are meant to go with the other mft and mech planet figures. Wouldn't make sense if they went deluxe. Wei Jiang might scale them up further if they ever do these figures, though, so there's hope yet.

    I think any futher up and they are going to show their basic-ness. Would need a significant update to the molds.

    There’s also a upscale KO of IF Starscream, TVM red eagle or something, basically a small deluxe.

    That particular mold would still be great at voyager size. Helps the legends figure is fantastic to start with :)

    Played with these guys last night. Where I'm at, they are USD48 for the set, or USD8 each.

    Cannot be beat for that price.

    Finally got around to fiddling with the MFT seekers. Couple immediate issues that jumped out at me, the shoulder intakes barely clip at all and look gappy now compared to the original. This may be because people were complaining that the original was too tight. While they certainly were tight, I never had anything break on me and I transformed the hell out of them back and forth (albeit carefully).

    The other issue, and the one that has been pointed out a lot, is the waist gap on the coneheads. I have no idea why this is even a thing. There is no gap on the original.

    Other then that, they're great :)  I noticed they glued the left hand in, something DX9 should have done on theirs.

    I know it's confusing because there's so many scales and stuff but you see these are legends+. They're like legends figures but sized up a little bigger (you might call them "oversized knockoffs.") You see, by making the seekers a little bigger, they scale well with the other figures that mft has sized up. They also scale pretty well with some of mech planet's figures but that's another matter. But if you made them bigger, like deluxe size, they wouldn't fit with the rest of their line. If you want bigger versions, you'll need to go to Wei Jiang or something. In other words, these aren't the droids you're looking for.
