Okay, that scale looks... PERFECT. Thanks for the pics! Scale chart, schmale chart, I always think of Inferno and Grapple as being about the same size as Prime. Having the eye level just below Prime's but the collar just a smidge taller than him seems absolutely spot-on to me. Excited to get these guys now!

How does the plastic feel?

 

Side-by-side:


Edited: updated image.

 

Before scale chart that is how i thought of them as well.

 

saints be praised, that's perfect. Even the wheels look to be near identical sizes.

 

It's been released? Cool. How is qc / paint?

 

That's the nice part about NewAge, MST and MFT. You can mix-n-match to some extent!

(Scale chart? What scale chart?  )

 

Very very nice! Appreciate it man

 

Just received my set in the mail.

Paint is great. More than on MST's in some places.

The plastic is very hard, glossy, and light. Doesn't have the density of the MST versions. Almost feels cheap, but these are low cost, and they're extremely sturdy.

All joints are perfect tightness.

Some size comparisons:

New Age, New Age, MST, MST, MFT, DX9

I'll do vehicles later, have to get back to work.

 

Looking good, especially truck mode! The larger head size throws things off for me though (as far integrating these guys into my NA/DX9/MST/IF collection goes). I might look into a head swap.

One thing that's cool about MST and NA (for me) is that their head sizes are pretty comparable, which really helps them mesh visually if you choose to integrate them.

 

Yeah, exponential noggin' growth can be a problem.

Thanks for that, looking about right to me.

 

Do any of you guys have truck mode pics of HS Prime with Inferno?

 

My set should be coming in a few days, can take some pics then.

Really looking forward to this set. Just wish there was at least some details or painted details on the legs. Cartoon accuracy isn't always a good thing. Still blows the Papa versions out of the water on head sculpt alone

 

Just be warned. The slider joint that his lower half is on, that slides to tab his bottom half in, behind his front bumper, is extremely tight, as is the tab joint in the front bumper. I broke the hip off of Inferno on his second transformation because of it:

Hopefully @ShowZStore can hook me up with a replacement hip piece.

 

shoot that sucks. is that area accessible with a drop of silicon oil? might as well do some precautionary steps on mine when it arrives.

 

That sucks!

 

How far can this figure swing its arms laterally? Can it hold a T pose?

 

It's a really tight spot. I believe the culprit is the pin that the plastic slides on.

 

Guess that's where you appreciate the heavy flexible MST plastic. I yank around MST figures like none of the others, and never sweat it.

Just checked mine, I never knew that tab existed, I just had my cab floppy to the rest of it; now that I know of it, though, you can grab the hip itself, rather then tug/push the legs, and that would take stress off the hip joints. But it's the kind of wisdom you only acquire after hearing someone else broke it that way
