    Given the expected dearth of Reformatted figures in 2022 and beyond, D-Zef is now on my "buy" list. I'm down to support anything MTMTE-related that MMC makes if it helps to keep the line going. Despite finding the character's alt mode a bit silly and despite not having an attachment to him beyond his brief appearance in the comics, I know he'll be a great figure to have in-hand.

    Is there any advantage in pre-ordering him now versus closer to his release date? He's currently about $175 shipped to the states through PSX.

    They look a bit long maybe? Gangly arms make for fun poses!

    Those hands are beefy, too. Which is great vs the usually just a bit too small looking MMC hands. Still looks fun, though.

    Death? It's just a pause, as there are other projects in the pipeline for the other lines that are currently in need to be produced.

    Means "a lack of something" or "scarcity".

    Honestly? I think this is one of few times he didn’t poop on someone for what could have been confused as a typo or spelling error xD

    I too thought that was a typo. But neat. I was today years old when I learned what that word meant lol.

    I wasn’t sold before on this design and I’m still not, even after seeing the new shots. Perhaps fully painted and/or a super good/close up of his (painted) face may change my mind . . .




    . . . Either that or contact MMC and just see if I can buy a head as a “replacement piece.” >_>

    I'm all in for upcoming Reformatted releases.

    MMC's other stuff really holds no interest for me as I started collecting to fill the IDW itch. I get that the comic is over (plus what IDW followed it with will end soon) but the toys help keep it alive.

    Will be a real shame if we don't get some of the stand out characters.

    Oh wow, I may have to start an onlyfans to get this. Tee hee jk, hope we get an Infinite finity Eris -Dzef. But instead of dragon alt mode, her alt mode should be a Griffin.

    Must stay strong. Must wait for reviews.

    I already know I'll give in. I love Deathsaurus/Dezarus. I can just use either D-Zef or Ismenios with Haslab Star Saber. I'm a sucker with MMC and the recent images genuinely look better to me. Maybe it's seeing it with a bit of color. Robot arms still bother me but that's minor.

    YOU ARE A GENIUS. She should be called Melan-E Griffinth.

    I'd settle for some nice new articulated hands/claws tbh.

    I'd buy it. The original can chill in alt. Mode for maximum irony.

    We still need a Cyclonus 2.0 before I'm worried about Tarn

    This. And a new cannon or at least a new mount for them.

    As someone who's been dying to see a new take on Beast Wars Rampage, it just occurred to me that one way to get that done would be through Infinte Finity as a shared mold with a stylized Tarn. Robot would be large-ish, probably 9 - 9.5" tall, and alt mode could be some bestial tank (perhaps a la Thundertank) with a crab design motif.

    Then that could get you on the flip side a BW Depth Charge/IDW Nautica shared mold (probably some ray-shaped watercraft) for IF that's probably Eris-sized (I think it's probably fine for Depth Charge to be a bit smaller than Rampage). Would be a large Nautica, but eh.

    Was holding out from pre-ordering Continuum in hopes that a Red Geist deco would come out of it, but I'm guessing that's unlikely at this point. Since I'd like to have both versions of the mold, here's hoping the color differences between the two are significant enough so that they don't look too much like two of the same thing.
