    I don't think anyone can really credibly characterize the "aesthetic of most 3P" but I get what you're saying about over-engineering. I think that's more related to what the intended purpose of the figure is. A lot of prominent 3P figures right now cater to the MP collector market, and therefore lean into certain standards of complexity, materials, and screen accuracy. It is true that we don't see as many 3P figures aimed at the CHUG range these days - the Legends and MP ranges are way more popular now.

    But with Hasbro ramping up prices, and generally reducing the materials / size / quality of their main-line offerings, I feel like my satisfaction and sense of value-for-money has been ebbing. This can be even more apparent on the Masterpiece level, where the Takara products have outstripped the 3P items for expense.

    When one looks at the pricing and what you get, Hasbro/Tak is no longer the obvious choice. And as a longtime CHUG collector, it's starting to feel like the obvious choice is to just to step back from collecting altogether - other than the occasional exceptional figure. In this case, that might be Cosmos for me.

    Tidal Wave was just done during Prime Wars. I agree it wasn't that great being a remold of Broadside but at least they tried. A Commander or Titan version would be amazing but I don't see it happening.... yet

    Let's slow down and not get our hopes too high up, we haven't heard any substantial evidence on which Blurr this actually is yet.

    These seem to be repaints or remolds (I'm guessing Road Rocket is a legacy Arcee remold), is it possible this is blue Cosmos (from the same old photo that gave us Nacelle) and regular Cosmos will have a wider release?

    For whatever reason I bought a Micron Legends SilverBolt decades ago took it out the box a hand full of times and forgotten about it for years at a time. Thinking it's nice but not that nice but very limited with really no leg articulation. So I'm quite interested to see what a modern toy would be like

    A good portion of WFC's actors are professional. The show just suffered from very poor direction.

    Great, Cosmos and Clampdown are getting short packed. Distribution is usually non-existant in Canada for these sub-lines, especially when they're store exclusives, but these two's aftermarket prices are going to be murder for the wallet/bank account. -__-'

    I wonder how Blurr is going to turn out,my guess to be completely honest is making him a purple redeco of the SS86 Blurr, like the Rescue Bots Blurr,but I could be completely wrong

    Stare's at WB...
    Even MMC isn't tacking IDW stuff really anymore, their starting to focus on non-IDW stuff anymore, unfortunately.
    I'm hoping when he's revealed he doesn't look great and I don't want him cause of that. It was able to get Bumblebee but I sold him off for RTS bee cause I liked him better but I do kind of regret it since it's a mainline VW BB. But back to the point yeah that's gonna be fun trying to get him.

    Regarding shortpacked Cosmos: hasn't this happened before recently? A desirable deluxe is shortpacked, but then shows up again (in larger quantities) in a repack wave, or a later wave? Or maybe that's just my wishful thinking :)

    I unironically like this design. It's quite unique.

    Hell yeah, Cosmos! The T30 one is a great toy, but I'd love a nice, chunky chungus CHUGgus Cosmos. He's probably gonna be a smaller deluxe like Cliffjumper, I hope his budget will go into making him feel nice and hefty for his size with rock solid joints rather than a bunch off accessories. Maybe include a blast effect or two to stick into his wrist cannons and I think we'll be golden.

    Road Rocket and and Burnout will probably be retools of Legacy Arcee and Skids perspectively, and Clampdown's most likely yet another Siege\Kingdom Lambro, but I wonder what Blurr this will be. A UT one I wouldn't mind, particularly Cybertron, but if it's another SS'86 retool I'll probably pass. I'm pretty content just owning the SG version of the mold.

    I'm not really sure I need another Cosmos. I've really liked his previous legends versions. Certainly not at a deluxe size. Will I buy it? Probably.
