So after watching Emgo's JTI, there are some serious changes from the original voyager on this OSKO. The front of the truck winds up on the top of his back. I *think* the pieces that became the swords on the voyager are now completely integrated into the transformation of the wings. Guess a review will show if I'm correct or not...

 

Where are you guys even getting $120 from? Showz has no price up.

 

Im curious where the $120 is coming from as well. I saw a link on facebook with pre order for this at 260 RM, which is roughly $70...

 

Unless someone running the site made a mistake

Definitely waiting for a review first, maybe even some firsthand feedback from you guys too. I'm not the biggest fan of this character (or even DotM in general) so I may as well wait a decade for ToyWorld  

 

Part of me is genuinely terrified about when Toyworld eventually get to him like they announced ages ago. I REALLY like their WW2 Line (currently debating buying Green Hornet) and I have Freedom Leader nicely displayed with my other BB Movie figures but after seeing how many people were complaining about Knight Orion and even some about Freedom Leader part of me is just worried that Toyworld, at least with the Bay Movies, isn’t the best with the larger character designs since they tend to always make them overly complicated. Knight Orion genuinely gave me anxiety watching people try to transform it lol

 

Pass. $120 is way too much for a fig Hasbro already designed and engineered. If it were a 3rd party figure designed from the ground up I get it, they have to recoup that R and D cost but for 4th party forget it.

 

I swear BMB wants me to hate them….

 

Yesss FINALLY! I’ve wanted this for so long. I’d rather a fully original 3P design but this is good too. I’d also like it to be smaller. Anything over 30cm gets very unwieldy and usually doesn’t scale right anyways. But I’ll probably be ordering this. $120 is steep for what’s essentially an OSKO but it’ll probably be worth it. I’ll keep my eye on it. For now all I did was put down the $2 deposit at Showz.

 

Yeah, no thanks at $120. $90 extra for an embiggen of a $30 toy. $85 was my limit.

 

Only the highest of quality breakages.

 

Alright, where exactly does the all of the complaints about BMB come from? Their Shovkwave had obvious problems and from what I have heard their Brawl had some thin/bad quality plastic that had breaks. Otherwise, their stuff has seemed very solid. I just went and looked back through their catalog of figures and out of the ones that I have, and ones that I didn't even realize was theirs, only Shockwave has had issues and since getting replacement parts even that is fixed. I know that YMMV but to me it seems like they have only had a few figures with questionable or bad QC yet by how some of you tall about them it's like everything breaks.

 

They generally have lesser quality overall for how much they’ve started charging for their things. Their QC issues (breakages, missing parts, paint rub/chipping) overall seem to have increased despite prices also going up. Their plastic recently has also started to feel cheap on some figures.

 

BMB has been pretty hit or miss, but their KO’s lately have been really good. Both KO MPM Starscreams, and MPM Ratchet have been pretty highly regarded. I actually own all 3 of those and their quality is great. I also have their KO dragoon and I think it’s a nicely made figure even with some loose joints. I think their Blitzwing and Soundwave were also relatively well received, I don’t own those tho. Not telling you guys to not be hesitant, I just don’t think the quality of certain figures they’ve produced recently should be understated

 

Their WWII line has great quality but everything else they make has problems.
And I highly recommend green hornet!! He comes in almost every color you can think of and is super fun.

 

was hoping it would be 100 but 120 is fine i guess

 

You hate like 80% of things tho

 

I critique 80% of things because I tend to just want better figures. I’m just the type of person why easily spots possible improvements and points them out. Unfortunately all anyone interprets it as is “hate” and starts telling me how much I apparently hate the figure. Everyone hates you when you don’t just say “this thing is perfection” on everything they like, and it’s honestly starting to piss me off. Real hate from me is telling you something is trash and a waste of money.

 

does he have ratchet joints? would be a shame if he didn't

 

Well, that's disappointing; I'm out. I want the best Sentinel figure possible, but an upscaled voyager KO isn't worth $120, even with improvements.

Guess I'll keep waiting for a UT-style 3rd-party fig, or an official MPM which is probably still years away.  

 

Let's put it this way- we still love you (at least I do), but you've definitely crafted a persona on here as a glass half empty type of person. But that's ok. Your opinion is still very much valid and frequently correct (or at least I agree with you- it's technically impossible for any opinion to be correct).
