@Knightdramon,
That 3-pack isn't the best example of current Marvel Legends, not by a long way.

The real home runs in the past few months are,

Beast from the Caliban BAF wave
( Articulation on this version of Hank is almost as good as a Figuarts or MAFEX figure and the build quality is much sturdier than either brand. Only thing that lets the side down is the lack of a second headsculpt with a more stoic expression.)

Nightcrawler from the Wendigo BAF wave
( A mixture of reused Spidey body parts and some all new bits make it very posable. And 3 different headsculpts that're all great!)

The new Hulk mould.
( 3 different versions so far, all incredible! And 2 of them include a crushed pipe! )

Silver Samurai from the X-Men vintage wave
( Suprisingly posable for a bulky armoured figure, capable of some excellent sword wielding poses. )

Professor X with hoverchair
( Not a figure that needs to do more than sit in the chair in terms of articulation, but he's nice enough and the chair's really well done. Only crappy thing about the set is the effect piece for the Cerebro helmet because it's jizz coloured which doesn't really work   )

 

One jeep to robot and back transformation later...I am glad I chose to look into MMC's Combaticons. There's so much good with this figure it honestly feels like I'm in for a bad surprise in the future to dampen my enthusiasm or something.

Positives?
--Relatively intuitive transformation. Had watched 3-4 videos since his release and ignored the instructions. Still figured it all out. Everything tabs, slots or channels into somewhere.
--Very decent articulation for his size. Individually articulated fingers, ball jointed head, proper ankle tilts, waist swivel, full-on arm articulation.
--Comes with an alternate head which is very easy to swap. Just pop it off the ball joint. Fairly open joint. No need for a screwdriver or insane pressure on anything.
--Heavy duty construction. Very hard and heavy plastic, amazing plastic tolerances.
--Besides the extra head, you can store all parts in both modes. No spares lying around.

Negs? Because nothing is perfect?
--VERY stiff transformation joints. I have not heard about any breakages but he's almost too hard to move around at points!
--Front bumper. A smart design maybe but I need to see it in action in the combined mode as right now it looks a bit naff.
--Upper body combined mode transformation. Have not tried it just yet but you basically half transform the upper body [ie where the tightest joints are!] only to twist the waist around. Hmm.

Overall he's definitely more Feralcon than Perfection Series, which IMHO is a good thing. The majority of the Perfection series had a variety of issues and their construction sometimes left a lot to be desired. If you liked the robustness of earlier MMC offerings, a unique and fun take on the transformation and are generally on the lookout for MP-style Combaticons, there's worse things to spend cash on.

Last pic with bonus Q---guess the valkyrie!

 

Congratulations my friend!! Fantastic news!

 

As my TR Fortress Maximus and World's smallest matchbox sets are in the same place at my mum's house, I now have an idea for pictures next time I go over  

 

 
A very good evening to all

My what long arms he has!  

But does it come with a working fire suppression system? #LiebherrNerd

Ooh I have a few NIN albums from back in the 90's - Pretty Hate Machine, Broken/Fixed, The Downward Spiral and When The Whip Comes Down, also caught them live only once at The Forum in Kentish Town back in '94 which was pretty crazy! Also own The Crow soundtrack which made a mark too!

 

Congrats dude!

 

@Skywarp SCS CONGRATS, DUDE! You sure cleared the bar this time!

@robotmel I cannot tell a lie, @barry may roll his eyes but I'm still a proper NINhead. Heck, I've even given 'How To Destroy Angels' a spin!
(To be fair 'Strings & Attractors' is a banger IMHO)

Funnily enough I'd just been catching up on Add Violence & Bad Witch before caving in to the Buzz* about WATCHMEN.

* = Entirely earned Buzz, I've shotgunned my way to Ep 5 now, and, goddamn, it is just cranking up. Just caught the nod to the influence that Moore disingenuously denies in 'Little Fear of Lightning'.
"...Fear, and I am it's architect" gave me a proper grin + ASMR headbuzz.

 

Congrats

 

I'm so jealous you got to see them that early. I've seen them ten times now, but that's mostly been since 2004 or so. Best two gigs were a duo of back to back nights at the Astoria a week before With Teeth came out. I somehow already had a pirate copy and knew the whole album inside out. Dresden Dolls supporting. Was front row on the barrier both nights, left side one night and right side the next. Set lists were mostly different. Very cool

Saw them last year at Royal Albert Hall. Went a bit crazy on the merch stall and started collecting the vinyl. Stoopid me.

Favourite band ever. Great blend of all music types I like and a gateway into loads of other music I didn't know I liked.

 

   

 
I'm off to check The Last Man On Earth via Amazon Prime - Bigged up by my work colleague recently and I'm lovin' it!  
An older show from 2015 but I'm only on Ep05 so lots to soak up.  

Ooh, also just ordered a new "free" telly via EE mobile off missus Robotmel's account as I have a phone linked via her account - Some Toshiba 43inch smart 4k HD thang to replace our old, failing LG 38inch which now takes a good ten minutes to 'warm up' before it displays a pic!  

 

I was just told that I’m not allowed toys for Christmas.

 

My condolences

 

if it's because toys are for children, just throw a tantrum to prove you're not a grown up.

 

Apologies if already posted, but for any one interested. Cyberverse deluxe Optimus and Megatron are up for pre-order on Amazon UK.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tra-Cyberverse-Deluxe-Optimus-Prime/dp/B07VM23F69/

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Transformers-N-Cyberverse-Deluxe-Megatron/dp/B07VJJ7YK9/

 

Hmmmm. That's a tad expensive, no?

 

My thoughts exactly, might get these to pinch the effect parts and then pawn them off to my younger brother since he will just want the toy. He pines over my collection of Siege and what not but loves Cyberverse. He’s got a bloody good haul for Christmas so far.

 

They always are around £20 on initial release, unfortunately. It's certainly hard to justify! But that whole line is overpriced. They always wind up in discount stores as a result.

I would normally jump at them but since I'm spending hundreds on Siege... I'll wait until there's video reviews and/or there's a sale. I have all the other Ultras released in the UK so far, but I wasn't so fussed on season 2 of the show and I really don't know if I'll get Prowl and Trion now after wanting them for so long...

Thanks, Jtprime17 btw!

 

Massive congrats @Skywarp SCS well done!

 

Titans Voyager Broadside was the item missing.

The contents that turned up in one box were the Reflector 3 Pack, POTP Deluxe Jazz, POTP Deluxe Wreck Gar and Selects Deluxe Ricochet.

Thanks for the reassurance @drmick and @Seeaich . Want to give these specialist shops a chance as there are not many avenues for us in the UK.

Congrats on promotion @Skywarp SCS

 

Me too, was pleasantly surprised as I was quite happy waiting until after Xmas for mine, with the cheap Amazon Siege Jetfire providing all the Xmas robitness i needed.

Will still put Astrotrain away until Xmas, may even ask someone to wrap it for me...that will be 2 big TF sized pressies for Christmas morning
