Unique Toys and their alter ego DX9 are developing a solid reputation for getting triplechanging transforming characters right for the most part. While they don’t always nail all modes, chances are you’ll get a very high quality, enjoyable figure which displays beautifully in at least 2 modes out of 3. Their Provider, Chigurh and Gewalt are all superb figures that we have reviewed here and thoroughly enjoyed. Now they’ve taken a shot at one of the heroic variety, with Y-03 Sworder representing the 1986 triplechanger hero whose orange, yellow and black colours have become his identity.

Great review Maz! It's a fun figure, but it doesn't feel like a Masterpiece. All the modes are pretty goofy but fun for it even if the transformation is nightmarish. I have also added a review to my blog, if anyone fancies a read and the link is in my signature.
Guess I'm reviving a zombie thread because there's still no better Sandstorm and I just spent some time getting good shots of him.
Show z still the rerun available for pre-order, however this is my olderest pre-order on the site. It might still happen.
Bumping an old thread (again), just seen that Sworder has appeared for pre-order on ebay on a couple of Chinese seller's pages yjym-50 and mr.brian2009 whom have been around for long time think ive used both - but still it is ebay :/ wonder if a rerun is happening.
Funny you post that here, I saw that new eBay PO listings were out this morning. What's even funnier is that I just bought one on eBay for $150 because I figured UT was never going to reissue the figure at this point. I'm fairly sure my preorder has been up for at LEAST 2 years now, lol. ShowZ insists that it will be reissued but hasn't had any updates on it since I asked them a month or so ago. Not gonna lie, I actually really enjoy my new copy of Sworder and wouldn't mind getting another one to actually take to work with me to fiddle with while the other one stays at home. It looks like this figure got a lot of dismissal (and I understand the sentiment) but I noticed that whenever one pops up secondhand for a good price, it sells out quickly. It's taken me almost a year to find one that was LNIB for a good price that someone else didn't get to first.
Looks like TCP has it up for pre-order right now so I guess it's getting a reissue? Unique Toys - SWORDER
Sweet. Hopefully it does. I know there's people out there that want it because any Sworder that's popped up for a good price on TFW and on eBay the last year or so got snatched up fairly quickly. This thing has a LOT going against it (many people have made that much known, lol) but I like Sandstorm and just can't say no to a banana-orange triple changer that costs $100. If it's worth anything to anyone, the alt modes are beautiful once you spend that hour transforming it.
Does Sworder come with a G1 toy head, by chance? My only nostalgia for Sandstorm is having the G1 toy as a kid
Got my request to pay balance at showz finally (preordered on 12/22/21!)! This is my 2nd to last oldest preorder. Still waiting on UT Blurr....
I got Sworder in the mail today. Tried to transform it into the car and there are no holes to connect the wheel assembly..?
It's a mold change to remove those tabs completely, but they screwed up and only removed the slot. You have to cut the tabs off, they aren't needed.
