Does anyone have a picture of this guy standing beside an iGear Raptor seeker?

 

Aces Toy Store currently has a large sale going on, including this for $50. That seems like the right price to me.

 

Is it wrong that I only want the little Targetmaster dude?  

 

Just got mine in. Quick review:

He looks good. No bad paint apps on mine. There are a few things that annoy me, first and foremost being the loose toes. I can get the figure to stand but I can't rely on those toes for anything. This figure needed heel pieces. I also don't like the hand design. Even though its a 5-mm port, its very shallow, greatly limiting the accessories you can use with this guy. I think it was deliberately designed this way so you'd have to buy their separate drift sword that has a short nub for a handle. The head doesn't tab in anywhere either. He's also very annoying to tab in jet mode, though not impossible. I think this guy would look best when used in conjunction with a flight stand since the slightest vibration will knock this guy over.

His targetmaster is also a cool little extra. Very poseable and just cute.

In short, don't spend more than $50.

 

If I can ask, might I get a recommendation on this figure? I'm a bit of a Cylconus fan, however I already have the Universe "Battle" version (the one closer to the Animation color), but I've been having my eye on this to go along with my Mania-King. To anyone who has the Universe mold, is this worth getting even though you already have that one, or is this one of those cases that this 3rd Party figure is meant for those who missed out on that mold?

 

Aces is sold out, and I'm not seeing any others for the $50.00 range and it's just not worth more than that, period. With you being a Cyclonus fan, yes, I absolutely recommend him, because this IS Cyclonus. No doubt. He does look good standing next to Mania King, and yes, he's worth buying even with the Generations mold in the same collection, but he's not worth more than $50.00

No need to run out and get him at current prices.

 

Well, sorry I missed the Aces sale. But, thanks for letting us know what a decent price point for this guy is. If anyone else decides to bring their price down to that range to get rid of their stock, I'll definitely consider this.

 

I told Keith he should release some of the repaints of the little targetmaster dude in all the colors that Has/Tak released him in. As Rocketbot, Vector Oracle, Kranix, Tornado etc. The Targetmaster is the little gem of the set.

 

Cool idea.  

 

Thanks a lot. Maybe if he goes on sale during Black Friday time on some sites I'll get him then.

 

And that's exactly the price he's now on sale at through BBTS. Well, $49.99 but still. I suspect others will follow suit.

 

We got it cheaper!

 

damn. that's tempting.

 

If I understand the problem…

Drill bit. Fixed.

 

Nope. Will ruin the figure. The fists are attached to the forearm by a swiveling arm and drilling would cut into that arm and take the hand clean off.

 

Got my figure from Captured Prey today. For $40 it's not bad. The design of the targetmaster gun being unusable in robot mode is kind of a pain, also the toes on my are really loose. Overral not bad. I own the original Jizai toys version and it's basically an up sized/simplified version of that. My Jizai toys suffered from super loose joints, so the KFC one is a nice improvement in that departs, sans toes. If the toe issues were fixed, I would give it a high recommendation, but it's really hard to stand. In the end a descent release. Recommended if you really like the animation model of Cyclonus.

 

My Tempest can hold the Targetmaster.

 

Really, my just kinda sits in there and if a breeze comes by, it just falls out.

 

Oh, it's definitely not the strongest hold, no.

 

Well Chimungmung have this guy on sale for $35. Might spring for him at that rate.
