Never seen it but I'm interested. Does he look like the Japanese Fortress Maximus Jr?

 

It actually looks better than a Fort Max Jr!

 

I have it, and think it's great. I think of it as comic-book size version Fort Max. Reprolabels makes (or at least used to) a great set of replacement stickers for those paper stickers it comes with.

 

I've got a Fortress Minimus! Probably the neatest KO I've ever picked up alongside the WST-sized combiners. Made a few minor mods - carved a hole in the ramp piece so it can actually fit over the peg for the big head, sanded some pegs; tightened the screws on the tower and loosened the ones on the legs to avoid breakage, and he's been pretty solid since.

@Wyvern - Not familiar with FM Junior, but it's basically G1 colors with (oddly) Brave Max's green cockpit door.

Thought strikes me, to any who have a stray headmaster of any variety sitting around - how does a regular HM head mode compare to Fort Min's head? Wondering if a regular headmaster could be swapped in with a little modding and/or Lego....

 

have one too, sits nicely in the wst shelf

 

I've wanted one for a while but haven't seen one anywhere. Where to buy? Only one on eBay and it's in HK - shipping is insane.  

 

@ Chinatowns near New York City, they have those for about 5 bucks. Along with Superion, Six Train, Six Builder, Defensor, etc etc.

 

...I don't think I'll be going to NYC just to get a $5 KO.

Anybody got one for sale?

 

Check Tuesday Morning too, if you have one nearby. That's where I picked mine up from   It was $5, as was mini Bruticus and mini Devastator. Only WST I have is Megs (sad, I know) but they all hang out on the same shelf in my cabinet. I didn't know that reprolabels MADE stickers for him though! I'll have to take a look...

 

Looks like they still make them.

Reprolabels.com -

 

I bought one off eBay a while back, I think KOtoys has them sometimes. Yes, it's a great little alternative to the real thing, both cost wise and shelf space wise.

 

Just saw this out with the kids this morning at Tuesday Morning for $4.99. Was sooo tempted but wanted to read the reviews first. I sold all my WST and have a Brave Max, so not really sure where I'd put him if I got him... 

 

Yeah this thing is awesome, a lot more sturdy than most KO's. I customized one a while back and there weren't any cracks due to brittleness or anything.

The best part was when this happened

 

this is the one i have. and below a comparison with a deluxe WFC Megatron and a Voyager Lugnut:



sorry about the QC on the pics- i rushed this.

but you can see how big it is.
his only problem *with me* is that his waist cannons are a bit floppy as well as the white parts that fold back along his waist. but i think i can remedy that in a few minutes with some nail polish.

i really like this. for less than $10 i am happy.

 

I have the same one. I got mine 2 years ago.
