    Mr Sir of Toys, you have this version of Godly Beast s4 yet? It's another 10" version that's by Hyperwiz, the company that made the smaller plastic ones. I wonder how stable it is compared to the above diecast one

    Have them, fun individually, combined has a lot of movement... offers good posing, but a chore to make stable? Only niggle is the chest piece doesn't tab like it should - it's always untabed on one end or the other... cw scale.

    Any excuse to post my "Eat it, fatty!" pic again, :lol

    So it's CW Devastator but in scale with the other Combiners? If so, count me in!

    Man, I hate that. I worked hard to buy all the upgrades and they just come along with a better one.

    It's a KO of DX9’s Devvie, not CW Devvie.

    Same here. Got mine on a deal from show.z for under $30.

    I absolutely hate the GRRR face but, I didnt want to pony up $18 for the flip face.

    Noting differences:

    - Head seems simplified, but it might just be the angle. And, the Guyver spike also looks a little overextended.

    - The backpack cannons seem darker and the translucent pink plastic lighting seems brighter.

    - There’s no translucent pink plastic belt buckle that doubles as the cockpit of the armor parts’ trailer mode.

    - And PT forgot to install Blast Off’s thruster’s into his stomach to secure combined mode and Vortex looks kinda misaligned. Maybe their combined mode was simplified, or they just forgot or, even more simply, just decided to be different for differnce’s sake.

    Despite that, it’s still very tempting, but I also wonder if I should just for MFT.

    Even if that is the price of MFT’s Omega Supreme... I still can’t quite believe that would hold over to Bruticus.

    Now, I know that there’s more mass to the plastic and paint between my MFT Sludge, Grimlock, and Snarl than there is to my IFicus.

    But, I would guess that there are more and more delicate parts to be assembled and painted with a KO IFicus, thus needing more effort to put together than a couple of MFT Dinobots.

    So, I expect it to be less than $100, but that’s about all I can say.

    They changed the codpiece.

    Same stupid 'Con emblem blocking chevron cutouts as Iron Factory, but they change the codpiece.

    Some Blackadder for the occasion, then?


    Or, would some thrash metal from “As Above, So Below” be more fitting?


    Sure, a bigger and maybe prettier or glossier Bruticus would be cool.

    But I’m wondering if I could use the original IF armor parts on the PT Combaticons—assuming they fit, and then setting the IF Combaticons loose to fan out in front of Hybridicus. Though, I may be wrong and PT’s Bruticus bits won’t look simplified at all... but it doesn’t seem like it, so far.

    Conversely, it might make more physical sense for MFT’s individual Combaticons to fan out in front of IFicus, as if they shrink down to form the original, smaller Combiner. I also see the fantasy logic of combining causing a jolt of additive mass shifting in the component Transformers, though the former is simply funny! :D 

    Oh, and there’s still not much of a clue as to whether this will include a lil, non-transforming Shockers or the Stealth Arcee that Iron Factory included with Onslaught. My guess is no but I’d be happy to be wrong about that, even if I don’t particularly need a second Stealth Arcee or another Shockers. The latter might be funny if only for the sake of Bruticus’ dual wielding two mini Shockwaves. Finally, though the picture that PT lifted for their box art does depict Shockers in Bruticus’ right hand, I don’t necessarily take that as confirmation and, instead, just as a hopeful sign.

    Moreover, my hope is that new fans possibly getting a chance to handle a KO of IF’s Arcee might be encouraged to go out and buy a Windblade or Slipstream, or whichever FemFormer IF might have in development—like Chromia, to complete the Combiner Hunters’ trio with Windblade and Arcee. However, by the time the PL0 is for sale, there’s a good chance that Windblade and Slipstream will be sold out, so maybe that speculation is for naught unless IF has some Witches Brewin’. To wit, I do think that IF probably has a Nickel and “The Pet” to unveil soon, perhaps even at Shang Hai Comic Con in the middle of December. After all, it would be a troll move to name 5 members of the DJD after 5 of the 7 stars of the Big Dipper and for the other two to never materialize.

    Just a heads-up, now the full alphabet series is available on ebay too. Good thing I was hesitant to buy on Aliexpress (could not find any auctions for these where they accepted paypal), bought all the 3 sets I did not have yet. :)

    Just a request, could you also post links to your site alongside the pictures? It is often pretty hard to find the KOs based on just a name or picture there. Direct links would be appreciated.
    EDIT: here, found the number combiner gallery: V2, Numbers, Magic Letter, Other, Transformers KnockOff KO, Action Figure Checklist Photos

    SirToys cannot directly link to his site for the figures he shows in here... against the sites rules, and we don't need Mods shutting him down in here.

    But we are free to link for him. ;)

    Okay. I need the regular size KO of MMC Talon. Paul had one, and I had it in my cart but forgot to buy it. I have it on my watch list but haven't heard anything yet. Does anyone have one?
