Too bad they got the color of Swoop's missiles wrong

 

I'm totally convinced that soon or later MST will jump into the Dino squad. I sold all the MFT Dinos Metallic keeping this hope in my mind.  

 

Sorry, I sold those ones a couple months back.

 

I wonder if the Alternators Rollbar colour (Red/Orange) Hound will ever get released. If they make it in Orange I can pretend the deco is inspired by Gator From M.A.S.K. perhaps ?

Artfire looks quite nice, I do like that mould - even if I do get a slight issue with Inferno's ladder getting stuck and refusing to telescope out.

I'm hoping Road Rage will ship soon too. I do still think it's a tiny shame that MFT's Blitzwing is missing the Horizontal tails though.
I wonder if they will make a "Flywheels" deco version as a repaint - that might be nice to have.

 

So is MFT tendentially done with KOs? There's some stuff I'm somewhat shamefully "waiting for the KO" for, if I am to be honest mostly because the bigger size feels more robust rather than the price.

 

that is definitely the million dollar question. i am hopeful they will bump up the van bros and a few other bots before they leave the game.

i think we have to wait for their S-dub to drop to see what else they might have in the pipeline as well.

 

I'm hoping MS Stunticons eventually make it down the MFT or Jinbao pipeline (so long as it's not NBK). Anyway I'm still really happy about the forthcoming releases from MFT in 2021/2022.

 

Unless NA is better.  

 

I think that Jinbao is the new KO company... But their products... Ufff... I explain my reasons. MFT had pretty solid figures (except for Kup and Springer 1.0), good tolerances, no stress marks, improved in the most of the cases and no breakages or major issues.

Jinbao made OS Devastator, lots of users experienced loosed articulations issues (like me), but it was totally acceptable because it was very huge and heavy.

The they started to make KO OS, like Optimus Dutch DX9, a very enjoyable figure full of accessories, simple without issues.

Then they launch KO OS NA Megatron... And KO OS MST Seekers... Poor materials with more issues than usual.

I don't know if Jinbao deserves to be the new KO company... But it's certainly that MFT left a big hole in the market without their KOs.

 

I own jinbao Megatron and I am very happy with him, metallic version, and for the price full of accessories

 

What are the issues? I own both and don't have any major nor multiple issues with them.

 

That's funny   Kup and springer 1.0 are what got me into MFT in the first place. Fun little toys even if they were a bit iffy.

My Jinbao OS Gravity Builder is a thing of beauty and holds himself up without any biv issues. My favorite Devvy to date. My son and I enjoyed the Seeker Airmada, too. As long as you're careful these are all great selections.  

 

If you don't have issues, then you're a lucky man   On my figures I saw poor material quality (reasonable), some areas without paint (seekers and Optimus), stress marks (Optimus and Megs), scratches (Megatron silver), stuck pieces (Both Megatron), broken pieces (Seekers), loosed articulations (Devastator OS, Optimus and Megs, easy fix), a few poor finished details (for example my OP was unable to close the trailer, until I fixed it)... I had all the jinbaos KO and I accept the issues, they're very cheap and still worth it. Only for the accessories and fun, they're very recommendable... but sincerely I prefer MFT over Jinbao.

 

agreed, have both the KOs of meg and seekers and while definitely not in the same league in quality and finish of the original NA, no real QC issues with either. and for the price you really can't complain.

 

I'd welcome some other colour options for Jinbao's Upscalled "Seekers" that is for sure.
They are a good scale for me I feel.

 

Exactly! the perfect description for Jinbao figures. We got what we paid. If I want to be more exigent with my toys, I go to other brands like NA or MST. What Jinbao does is perfect for the price if you're aware of what are you buying. But sincerely, they don't have a full variety of characters, they only copy the main characters. Gaps that only MFT could fill... but they stopped to KOing figures.

Any way, I'm fine with their own designs (MFT), I think they made the best choice: no competitors, they can do whatever they want with the prices. BUT... they're still being Legend+ figures hard to fit with MST or NA, except for a few figures (Ultra Magnus 2.0, Astrotrain, maybe Inferno / Grapple, possibly Blitzwing).

 

I can only find the cartoon colours of the Reissue mft dinobots in stock? Has anyone seen the metallic ones? As far as I knew it was only the toon ones being reissued?

 

nope, MFT never announce re-issue of metallics. only the toon with the option of blue and red swoop. i'm patiently hoping they will redo the metallic as that's the set i'd want.

 

Just saw this on the MFT weibo. With Vecma not in the works currently, wonder about the future of more headmasters. Was really hoping for a Cerebros at some point  

 

Thanks I'm pretty sure it was you TIKnTIN that mentioned it before, me too I literally need Grimlock and Sludge in metallic to complete or will probably just get them in toon colours and try repaint them to match the rest.
