    Indeed, now it's November. Maybe it'll come out in December in time for Christmas? "Hey, look what I got for Christmas! Ho ho ho!"

    :D

    Way more than I thought, are these the smaller size class, like a flip-former-activator-whateverer or legion class?

    For size that WJ OS grim works great in robot mode in the RID line.
    For dino mode I still use the official one of the larger Forgetatimus, has a great animated style head but is in a permanent pose.

    I think I've said this before, but someone needs to make OSKOs of Iron Factory's stuff and bump 'em up to CHUG scale.
    Every time I see a new IF figure, I just wish it wasn't Legends scale. I love the look of that Magnus...

    Robotmel, thank you so much!!! I will try to make some more as soon as possible (they take some time lol). Please let me know what you think of My Soul To Keep if you end up watching it. You can also see it for free (with commercials) on "Tubi" now. :) 

    SMOG, thank you!!!!! I want to make some more with MPP-10 soon. He photographs better than most TF's.

    Hell yes. I love their Powerglide and a few others and would buy them in a heartbeat if they were bigger

    I'm the same. There are some great-looking pieces from Iron Factory, and significantly oversized versions (to a CHUG scale) would definitely have my attention. I'm never going to invest in a Legends-scale collection (if Hasbro keeps shrinking their deluxes, they'll get there sooner than later).

    On the other hand, some IF designs are just too blocky, like they were proofed with lego blocks or something. Their aesthetic is distinctive to be sure.

    After some kind of Haro Gunpla this is a new source of nightmares. Also, they do a quite good job of imitating diaclones.....
    And, if I were you, I would not fold the visors... They really look better as G1 Ironhide/Ratchet style mechs than weird things piloted by drunk animals.

    Just ordered the die-cast version of the upscaled KO RID Grimlock and upscaled KO POTP Slash.

    Fingers crossed they are both good figures. :D

    You should be fine. I have both, and they're good figures. But check the elbows on Grimlock, just in case.

    I only just noticed that one of the KO CW First Aid toys has very different paint than the official toy. The KO might work well as the base for a Ratchet custom. I have a set of BotCon G1 Ratchet stickers for it.

    The CBB Protectobots that normally come in the boxset have decos based on the Takara version, rather than the Hasbro version.

    I had this set. The alternate decos are quite nice, but the quality of the figures was fairly low. Plastic was kind of soft, tolerances were slightly off.
