i know they have their flaws which i'll scrutinize and knit pick, but still excited and can't wait to get them.  

 

I'm liking these guys much more than I initially did. I feel like I can forgive some of the aesthetic issues due to how small they are. The amount of engineering packed in such a little figure is impressive.

That said, the price still makes this set a bit too hard to pull the trigger on.

 

Newage H25 Herbie & H26 Vanishing Point Set of 2

Only $45+shipping on TFs-Express, which works out considerably cheaper than US retail if you don't mind the slow boat.

 

Got mine today! The very first thing that pops into my mind is: that debate, where we wonder if we should gloss coat carbots? Remember MS Bluestreak, where the slightly uneven plastic was more obvious with gloss? Well, on a sharp NA mold, the answer is an emphatic YES! They look like glorious metal cars, you almost expect them to weigh like metal as well, but of course they’re like feathers in your hand. But what a premium look they have! So pretty. Look how dull Flipper looks next to them.

 

dang, alright I’m in! Thanks!

 

I would also have bought from there but badly that it does not send to my country, but very good comparisons are coming soon.

 

Got mine today, incredible engineering, beautiful finish but just a horrid toy. The articulation is loose, particularly in the hips. It's not a fun transformation, the feet get in the way of themselves. It's a shame because the car modes look amazing, it's just not fun.

 

Some of the joints are fairly loose, but they will hold a pose just fine. I think it’s just that they’re incredibly tiny which makes all the pieces very fiddly. And while, despite the panels etc, they do look fantastic in bot mode, since they’re so goddam tiny to nitpick too much, I do wonder if they are just... too tiny. Brawn in bot and alt mode is bigger, so they’re smaller than even other NA mini bots. I can’t imagine wanting, say, a warpath and powerglide this small. It’s a funny thing.

 

Yeah I mentioned the hips in my little overview earlier, too - I always think NA tends to tolerance hip joints toward loose and it drives me nuts. I don't have any issues elsewhere though, tolerance-wise. I think, for their miniscule size, they're pretty stable. I've certainly handled bigger figures who feel much worse.

With the feet panels - I think that's my biggest complaint right alongside you. The plastic seems like it needs to flex a bit to really get everything where it needs to go, which just really feels bad, especially at this scale. I think they're fun toys though!

 

I agree about being too tiny, legends are great until you get to this smaller scale. I felt the same with the Insecticons. Amazing that it was achieved but too many caveats to be classed as decent figures

 

speak for yourself… i love my sets of NA insecticons.  

 

Dont see it myself, even Herbie isnt much smaller than original Bumblebee, to each their own and all that.

Those are awesome shots. Could have gone without the Children of the Corn eyes though...

 

I think you mean Children of the Damned Which is this





This was children of the corn

 

Children of the damned.
Children of the corn.
Children of the damned corn.

 

i feel like that is NA's strong point when it comes to legends. overly complicated transformations for no real reason. and loose joints as a result and a shitty hip situation because of the much not needed tilt. *im looking @ you NA seekers*

 

haha a simple mistake. Both fun!

 

But you can just glue them in place no

 

I used Future floor polish. That usually does the truck.
