Yeah looks like the box got snagged on something like on a conveyor in the shipping process with the way it accordion folded. I got mine from them awhile back and they are a great set especially for that price.

 

Love these guys! Recently rearranged my display and these are standing in a way that catches the setting sun light. It really highlights their chests. I'm fan of that transparent green and the detail underneath.

 

Fun little decepticon squad to flesh out the MP troops. They look great with the Maketoys seekers.

 

I just got my Visualizers set from Maketoys' store, and I LOVE it.

Question: Do the handheld guns do anything, or store anywhere, in camera mode? Each gun is unique, and one of them has a fairly large hole (hard point?) on either side, which makes me wonder if they combine to become a tripod.

 

Not that I've been able to figure out, and I don't think anyone else has. The tripod gimmick is just that it comes with a tripod adapter for a legit camera tripod.

 

Stop motion transformation sequence (forward and reverse).

 

I ordered mine from Maketoys online store. What kind of shipping times to the US have you guys had who've ordered from their store?

 

I recall being surprised by how quickly mine came, but I can't remember how long it was. Maybe 1-2 weeks?

 

3 days from China to Everett WA.

 

It was pretty quick for originally coming from China. Maybe 6-7 days.

 

Mine arrived today, really quickly after my order processed. I'm happy with them, they look nice and are a great addition to my Decepticon MP's.

 

I absolutely adore these guys. I know they're not toon accurate, and that's what I actually like about them: the liberties they take, particularly the chests look really great for me! Also, I love how emotive and expressive they are.

 

I'm very happy with them. Their color is not 100% accurate (and I actually find their palette more interesting than the toon one), but the sculpt is spot on. The size, the very specific shape of the feet... even the headsculpt is perfect imo (well, it variates wildly in the toon so...)

The translucent chest is a good way to give some flavour to the figure without ruining the accuracy. Transformation is a breeze in these days of overengineered nightmares.

They are my definitive reflector for sure.

 

Not putting the one with the lens in the middle makes my OCD go HNNNNGGGGGG



But those guys are cool, I might go with them as my Reflector.

 

I've had these guys since they were first released and like them a lot. They were my favorite Reflector set as far as silhouette and personality go and they still are. I just wish the execution made them feel a bit less like toys? Like I wish there had been a better effort to minimize all of the exposed screws and joints. I know it's not really a thing but I'd love if maketoys did a 2.0 and kept basically the same mold and just upped the finish and polish to the likes of Meteor and more recent releases.

 

I also have had my set since they first came out, and they are still on my display. I love how they look and scale with the rest of the decepticons. I just recently bought the KFC Opticlones, which I feel are a better set, but for some reason I can’t take this guys off the shelf, I really like them.

 

I was debating between these guys and the Opticlones, finally settled on these guys after seeing them in stock at Robotoybase. So strange how a character like Reflector can have three different MPs and yet characters like Blaster and Perceptor still only have one.

Speaking of which, I'm kind of feeling inspired now to set up a display with MP versions of all the G1 roleplay figures: Soundwave, Blaster, the cassettes, Perceptor, Reflector, Megatron, and Shockwave. Still waiting on Tesla 2.0 to be my Perceptor though...

 

I quite like this set, and they still look good on the shelf to this day. Hope you enjoy them!

 

After missing out on Fans Toys Spotter for $100.00 I decided to get Maketoys Visualizer. To be honest, I like these better and I do like how they are super poseable and have the zoom lens integrated to the figures.

Out of curiousity, how long did it take to ship from Robot Toybase?

 

I don't know yet, I just ordered them yesterday.
