    I’d be willing to sell my set (loose - only instructions and accessories and would be shipped in combined mode) for $215 + shipping if anyone was interested.

    Leo (or whatever his name is) legs are a little loose in combined mode (was a old problem many people had). Never did try to fix it/look up fixes. But isn’t horrible. PM if anyone is interested.

    I don't care for mp mumbo jumbo. They are voyager scale and would fit in with the rest of my idw collection. I don't consider anything under the reformatted line as mp. Nor do I consider planet x or gcreations. I have 2 actual mp figures and in my view it's 2 too many. Bee and the 20th anniversary prime.

    I think the Igear seekers are pretty great, too. Where did you get the greatly improved face sculpt?

    The Feral cons are such an oddball in my collection.

    I bought them for my mixed MP Collection -- I was looking for the best version and not for cartoon accuracy -- but they no longer fit with that. They also don't fit with my classics collection, because they're too big.

    Basically, they don't fit anymore in my collection. But I can't see myself selling them because with the exception of Razorclaw, I love them. Such incredible sturdy figures, with the right heft due to solid plastic instead or diecast, fun to handle, and fun to transform. (And as I keep forgetting, you can also combine them as well.) I can't use them really, but I don't want to sell them either. I basically have to find a place for them.

    They were made by two members here. One whom doesn’t really post much anymore, and one that kind of ruined all of his goodwill with the things he did — hasn’t came back on here in years.

    They made new nullrays and the faces.

    Just got Kultur/Tarn in which was a complete surprise for me. Order got lost in the mail months ago and got a full refund so another free MMC figure by weird chance in one month, that is damn lucky! Not 100% comic accurate but still really impressed MMC could translate him from comic to figure so well. Like him a lot but have a few nitpicks. Wish his eyes popped more and that his shoulder treads locked into place. Other than that he is awesome. Was not expecting the hips and knees to be ratcheted since Helex has none and Terserus only has them in the hips. Feet also have a lot more articulation then I was expecting too. Definitely a figure that is really fun to actually play with. 5 of the DJD down, 2 more to go. ADF66590-BE24-4172-B0CF-95B1F378AAED.jpeg

    No, and he liked money up front before casting parts, (or having his partner, who was much more trustworthy,) cast the parts for him.) And then it was questionable if he would ACTUALLY ship said parts. Avoid if you can.

    usually thats how it works to get paid before shipping. I have never got anything shipped first before paying. Nor have I sent anything out without being paid first. But I pride my character and actually you know ship and keep in contact with buyers with pics of items wrapped up and tracking numbers and making sure item arrives safely. When you are a POS who just steals money from people...that becomes different.

    I misspoke. I meant he liked money up front before casting the parts. I will fix my post to make it more accurate. Thank you for pointing it out for me to fix.

    uh no...only figure I ever paid for before it was even built was the haslab victory saber...you want my money, have the piece made...that's different. If I have to pay him to even cast it...uh try casting a couple pieces then sell them. Like gnomespaintshop does...he got tired of people bitching at him for made to order pieces for custom joes and star wars and started only taking orders for pieces he's cast already. Doing it pay then casting is asking for disaster and is why one guy on facebook went under and pissed a lot off. Probably the same guy since you aren't mentioning him. Did he do like Teletran bases and took preorder money upfront and pretty much stiff a bunch? But also made a lot of add on parts?

    Well lookie what I just won. :D 

    upload_2022-1-25_22-58-46.png

    I've nabbed most of what I wanted from the Reformatted line surprisingly quickly -- Eris Kultur from a member here, Vexo off eBay, Calidus, Dicamus, and Turban off BBTS, and Stray (plus Occular Max Azalea) from ToyDojo at Frank and Son. I even have a Demonicus Prominon, which was not a goal at all but was on eBay a week ago for too good a price to pass up.

    The only outstanding ones I'm itching to have at this point are Exitus and maybe Optus Pexus.

    The Optus Pexus mold is the pinnacle of the Reformatted line, I would try to at the very least get one copy of the mold. Luckily you'll have plenty of opportunity, they'll likely be repainting it a while.

    Articulation looks insane, which is why he's on my list. I otherwise think he's kinda ugly? The alt mode especially I dislike.
