Got a link to that eBay?

 

Update if you're still looking to buy. The seller has listed an additional set of two on their eBay page for $189.99: nostalgiafortoys on eBay

 

Toy Dojo have both Animus and Salus with a good price.

Really pissed at myself for missing out on the black diaclone version, such a good mold and now I'm on a diaclone kick.

 

Sorry, I never got notified that you quoted me. Here you go. He has two left:

All good.
Funny thing, I ordered 1 from here a few days ago. Supposed to arrive tomorrow.

 

Voodoo

Salus (60 Bucks!) and Animus on sale at ToyDojo. I just got Animus and despite the shortcomings that people have mentioned, it's a great figure and I just love looking at it. Such a great presence. I'm waiting on Salus which in my opinion will be a definite upgrade from my TFC Medic.

 

If you don’t like the look of the official MPs these are great choices. They don’t hold together super solidly in bot mode but they do look good from pretty much every angle and they have some cool toy detailing.

 

I agree. There's a certain "je ne sais quoi" about these figures that the OMP's don't have. Less like a cartoon marionette and more of a "robot soldier" from another world.

 

I have an Animus for sale.

 

After much back and forth, I finally got Black Ironhide aka Guard… Everyone can thank me now because I’m sure TT will announce the official one soon… I’ve got to say.. this guy is a flimsy POS. For the life of me, I can’t get the hood to tab into the crotch. It just kinda sits there. His chest is also very loosely sitting there. Nothing is really holding it in place. And then the backpack… I can’t find any way to get it to tan anywhere… it just sits there. I’m very upset I got this now… and half the time his torso sits crooked and I can’t figure out how to fix it… ugh.. at least I have Guard for my Diaclone display, at least… sigh..

 

I feel your pain. I have the red Voodoo “Ironhide”, and he’s a flimsy POS as well…especially the backpack and lower legs. I like a lot about the way he looks, but he definitely does not feel good. The only 3P Ironhides I am happy with are the legends scale guys.

 

Yeah, he’s gonna stay in the display until TT does one..

 

Finally pulled the trigger and got both Animus and Salus.

So… has anyone come up with a good mod to keep the backpack in place? And has anyone tried to swap Animus’ face or repaint it to make him look less sad?

 

If anyone is interested in these guys I have finally decided to go to the "toon side" with the official versions and will be selling my Animus and Salus. Salus has the hip mode done that eliminates the overly wide ratchet issues and converts it to friction.

PM me if interested. Will try to list in the BST by this weekend.

 

If you’re going for a “toon-accurate” Ironhide and Ratchet, you should XTB announced theirs which are more accurate than the Takara versions.

 

Yeah- I'll definitely be watching them- but I am getting the officials for the meantime until they actually release.

 

Understandable. Also if you do plan on getting the XTB versions eventually then you should probably pick up the ko versions of the Takara molds instead of the official ones.

 

Ha! I have the KO's ordered!
