    Looks great. I'm not the biggest fan of this particular character design so I'll probably skip this, but if the scientist / Inquirata shows up I'll be back on board.

    Before they bother with the Eligos reissue or a set of cartoon-accurate Dinobots or anything dumb like that, I really hope that XTB gets around to making my personal favorites.

    I'm surprised to see there's an actual market for this. wow.

    Like, who asked for this, lol.


    That'll show other 3p companies, XTB!

    Granted, I´ve never seen, or got my hands on an Impossible Toys version, but from what I`ve seen, they seem to be a bit too small for MP-scale. However, as you said, it depends on the episode/scene. ^^
    As for Dr. Egg, and the Earthrise version: For me, the Quints scale almost perfectly, it´s just their stands which miss the point. ER`s is too small/short, and XTB`s is way too large/long.

    Can't wait for it to NOT have the line "Guilty or Innocent?"

    I love odd releases. I was excited for Girl Kultur, really enjoy my overpriced Dr Egg, am seriously stoked for the XTB Omnibots and I think this looks cool.

    When I said "shrink" him to deluxe scale, I thought it was obvious I wanted CHUG scale, not MP. Hasbro cheaped out on the Prosecutor and I dont see them revisiting him anytime soon. The IT version scales pretty well with Earthrise Judge. Its just kind of delicate. I want that Hasbro plastic feel and movable tentacles. 20210409_223937_Film4.jpg

    Okay, since, I`m a 100% MP-scale-collector, my mind was like "well, the voyager class Quintesson looks fine for MP", therefore I had no problem with Dr. Egg being almost the same size (give, or a take a centimetre/an inch).
    And also: "Gee, They like the ER Quint for MP, but dislike Dr. Egg, because he`s "too big", even if they are (at least in their "egg-form") the same size, apart from the stand (something neither Emgo, nor Ben acknowledged in their reviews... they both actually made fun of the "difference").

    Youth motormaster
    Youth trailer
    G2 motormaster

    And they say they are going to do it all through their trusted factory now?

    And, some people think 3rd party G1 is dying!?

    I can't see these all being out for 5 years.

    When you do this to your brand you get what you ask for with the self inflicted wounds.

    Did Dr. Egg sell that well that they're going through with this?
    And this is supposed to be cheaper?
    I'll see it before I believe it.

    I could be wrong but I believe that Dr. Egg is still widely available so I doubt it sold well. I don't believe anyone thought it would do well at that ridiculous price and I haven't heard anyone saying that it is an exceptional figure. Mostly I hear it has some paint chipping and mechanical quirks. On a nontransforming figure that is also beyond ridiculous.

    Currently, I am on the hook for Eligos' re-issue and Virtus with a 'maybe' for Abaddon. But I'm pretty sure that they are trying to position themselves for some major summer announcement/release beyond these figures listed. It's not based on anything aside from how they seem to be cleaning out the closet on the older, delayed and reissued stuff and how spread out those release dates seem to be.

    I also forgot about Ginrai and Deathsaurus.

    So I hope there are no more new announcements this year, or next for that matter.

    Forgot about Cyclonus re issue too, are there any others?

    Sorry, I can't remember the 3rd party names, they are who they are.

    There's also their Power Master Prime which, last we saw, was going to be split into three releases.

    This guy really should be at MiniBot priceing. $80 tops.
    Dr Egg is way overpriced. I bought one and I am saying he is way overpriced and I got him at TFsource with that $50 gift card incentive.

    If Dr Egg was $100 (which is a fair price to me) I would have bought 3 of him for my display.

    As for that Xtransbots coming up line up, most of them are redecos or re-releases, so they should be able to pump them out quick.
    Protectobots and Omnibots are probably 1-2 year wait for completion.
