IF-EX15 Soul Reaper

Prototype image from the Iron Factory weibo page. Wonder if it's a Pretender, or more based on the Generations toy?

With any luck this also means a Thunderwing and BotCon Metalhawk could come.



For reference:

 

I'll wait for the Thunderwing repaint. Good looking figure though.

 

I wonder how tall this guy is; he looks to be about the same size as the Hasbro deluxe. If that's the case I may pass as that version is still close to retail prices or less in some cases.

 

Looks like a tiny bit smaller than the Generations toy.

 

Oooh a pocket sized Black Shadow. Hoping with fingers crossed they'll also do a Blue Bacchus. Seriously I know he had a few minutes of air time in a Japanese only series, but he still needs loving too.

 

That picture is very useful to look at. All this time we have not had a good enough sense of scale. For instance looking there most the dinos seem to be shorter than magnus, still not sure.

Also black shadow looks more appealing to me now because i can definitely place his height smaller than magnus.

Could have done with similar and better size comparison pictures earlier. Thanks

 

That is an instant buy.

 

Now I need a tiny DJD to murder him with.  

 

Cool. Looking forward to this and the inevitable Thunderwing remold.

(I don't need a Metalhawk from this though, unless they plan on doing the 'bot face.)

Yes please!

 

This one takes back kibble to a whole new level lol  

 

And another winner from Iron Factory. 

 

Iron Factory Sixshot is just around the corner. I see what they're doing.

 

I love Black Shadow, but this looks just like a slightly smaller version of the Hasbro deluxe toy.

The bot mode is so close to that, so whilst at first I thought "instabuy" now I'm less sure as it's too much like a toy I already own.

 

Except going by current experience it will be better articulated and fit better with Evil Lord. Black shadow was undersized as a Hastak Deluxe but that would be oversized for this line. Depends if you are going completist like me or not.

 

Very true.

It still looks great, but it just doesn't feel like there is enough different about this to justify getting it for myself.

 

I know what you mean. But you know how OCD I get about articulation, and knowing there was a better articulated version out there that I hadn't picked up would bring the orderlies around with that padded jacket thing........

 

Maybe

What does Thunderwing look like?

 

Please say no to Botcon Metalhawk.

 

I was just thinking that - 2/3 of the phase sixers.....there's only one left.

 

I'll keep an eye out for this, the collections could use another black shadow.
