    Yeah this is how I feel. Plus they have plenty of time to refine it. I just can’t believe it’s even possible! However if it doesn’t look good I will be impressed but I won’t buy it.

    Sure, it’s justifiable. But, should we really let ourselves sink as low? It shouldn’t be as hard as it is for people to enjoy two things in this fandom without being attacked.Freedom is the right of all sentient beings. Especially the freedom to like what you want!

    Still one of my favorite figures of all time. Such a great toy. Really hope I can get a MISB copy one day

    Oh, I absolutely agree. I don't hate G1. I even have some G1 MPs. Any of my saltiness towards it comes from dealing with those on these boards. There's room for everyone in this fandom and it doesn't need to be one or the other.

    Confirmed to be Toyworlds! Don’t worry, they’ll modify and improve it over time, (like they have with their BB Optimus Prime)

    Finally completed my MPM original cons. Love how these guys all look together.

    And with the other few I keep with the MPMs.

    There’s a reason parents don’t tolerate the “he did it so it’s ok for me to do it” excuse.

    Figured out a good flight stand setup for SS54 Megatron. Used Bandai Action Base 4 stand (has 3mm and 5mm pegs for TF figures) which has various adapters. Wish I would've realized this sooner before leaving a stress mark on the port.

    In alt mode, the 3mm flight stand port is near the back of the crotch but is recessed. This will cause various flight stands not to work as they will hit the bottom of the crotch. This is shot from below the jet. Green outline is the port. Red is the bottom of the crotch where most flight stands will hit and not get clearance.

    Used this adaptor piece, which works.
    stand4.jpg

    The stand will then stick out from the back of the jet. As the figure is heavy, the base plate may lift up.
    stand1.jpg

    Weights can help keep the plate down. I used one of my resin casts (poop emoji) as a paperweight as an example.
    stand2.jpg

    There are 2 5mm ports near the back of the jet but on the sides of the legs. The figure will just rotate into a nosedive position even if you use 2 stands.

    Sorry, really don't do in-depth reviews. Just small snippets, observations, and personal opinions. If there's a specific question you have, then I may be able to answer that.

    I'm just glad that mold officially has a OS KO. I do hope that is is greatly improved if it is their MPM DOTM Megatron.

    I doubt it’s ToyWorld’s since they’ve never done a KO, seems like something Black Mamba would do, but the figure being placed next to ToyWorld figures is a bit worrisome

    Wave 8 Voyagers have been spotted in the US.

    Now I got word that they plus the deluxes have been spotted in Canada EB Games.

    This was a sighting in Ontario. Not my picture.

    I may call one or two tomorrow morning.
