This.

However, real life (full time job, wife, kids) has caused me to just an eBay sniping app so I don’t have to be there... got lots of really good deals using that. Including my coveted Botcon 2006 Megatron for $437...

 

What app do you use?

 

Sorry but that Scorponok just isn’t good enough. I wish someone would make a Scorponok this size or upscale the iron factory one

 

Well, thanks to @FredVIII I got my hands on Infinitor. With the exception of the translucent red plastic over two thirds of his chest he's pretty faithful to the G1 toy, just with better articulation and smaller. Much smaller. Like, even though I'd seen pictures so I knew he's smaller than MP-10 and shin-high to the Titan-class toy I still wasn't totally prepared for how small he is. That said, I think I know where he best fits, and it's not with Legends. If, instead of thinking of him as the Fortress Maximus from "The Rebirth" episodes of the US G1 cartoon or the Fortress Maximus of the Japanese Headmasters anime, you think of him as the Fortress Maximus from the old Marvel comics, then he's just about perfect for a CHUG collection. In issue #38 of the US run he's standing next to Chromedome after his upgrade, and Chromedome comes up to his waist. The Deluxe-class Headmasters from Titans Return come up to about Infinitor's waist. In #51 you can see him standing next to Powermaster Optimus, and they're about the same size. Infinitor is about the same size as Titans Return Powermaster Prime/Legends Super Ginrai. When Cerebros was mentioned at all in the Marvel comics he was just an intermediate step between Galen/Spike and Fortress Maximus, with no personality and without really doing anything but transforming. Often they just drew Spike turning directly into Fort Max's head... and Infinitor's head doesn't have a smaller Headmaster.

If someone ever OS KO'ed Infinitor (or even if TW did it themselves), made it about the same size as Maketoys' Utopia, gave the Headmaster a littler Headmaster, and tweaked some of the fit and finish so things locked together a little better (especially his chest) then I'd happy throw money at it. But for now, little Infinitor is going to hang out with my Siege figures.

 

Glad he arrived safely!  

 

Switch Infinitor with Grant and I'm there. I love this mold though.

 

Hi there

maybe someone can help me.. the thing is, my friend who currently lives in Holland bought me as a gift toyworld infinitor on marktplaats around june (sale link isnt available anymore, will provide what I have on photos).

I got him today finally, as my friend arrived and we met.

But, infinitor lacks a panel on his leg. I found that it is not easy to remove it on other leg. And even has a sticker pointer like its showing that it lacks one.

Could it be this TW QC issue? Or seller just wasnt honest?

 

seems like if he is listed as "complete" then it should have come with that leg piece. not sure what you can do since it was bought so long ago (June). maybe you could attempt to contact toyworld for a replacement piece.

 

where I can contact them?

 

Good luck with that, they are notoriously unresponsive.

 

It's not impoassible that it's a mistake on TW's side, but the seller should've done better research: it's clearly listed as "Complete" but it should be Obvious to the seller that since there's a hinge for a panel and no panel, that something might be missing.

But even if it was bought with all the security Marktplaats offers (which is relatively little), it's been too long since the end of the sale. Toyworld would be the best option. However, outside of this item being long out of production, TW is notoriously unresponsive when you contact them for complaints or replacement parts. I fear you'll have to live with it.

 

thank you guys..

@Max Rawhide, and anyone

How can I contact TW?

 

They have no current contact info in the contact thread.

 

Can you tag me in this contact thread for future watching?

Tnx

 

aside from contacting Toyworld, the only solution I can think of is have the existing panel scanned or measured, then have it 3D printed

 

That was my idea too..

 

*after* digi-flipping it, of course.

 

Apologies for resurrecting the thread. I tried googling and searching the forums.

I just got this and had a question I don't see answered by youtube reviews. Does anyone know why the torso/shoulder sections can rotate 180 so the cockpits are facing down and the wheels face up? I feel like its because you can get imaginative with all the varied base positions you can put him in. Was just wondering.

TWO THOUGHTS

1. The Dream is,,,,,,,,, they upscale this to TITAN CLASS to go with the New Scorponok !!! I have the Grand Max version of this and its awesome . And pretty much the perfect size ( could have been about another inch or two taller )
2. Where is my DAM Black Zarak in this scale ? Come on , this was such a good toy it deserved its Scorponok/Black Zarak rival !
