    That would be a good use of a remold.

    .Though I would like some non-chibi styled female Legends

    Only one I can think of is (sorta) DX9 Arcee

    Iron Factory hasn't even released a chibi styled one in awhile. G1 doesn't really have a lot of female bots so it has always kinda bummed me out that IF never gave the Fembots much love.

    If they released Lyzack it would be a good chance to remold it into a non-chibi Slipstream.

    Had seen that before, but admittedly forget.

    Does look like a nice, tiny, "serious" Arcee. Will watch closely.

    Hope they do more.

    Shit like this makes me nervous… I’m like 87% done with my CHUG collection and I’ve wondered “What will you do once it’s finally done?” The fluke Newage insecticon purchase I made recently has made that plastic crack addict inside me start whispering “What about Legends scale? You could do that…” These look gorgeous and, even if I don’t become a dedicated legends collecter, they will be mine.

    Hey, even if you're just collecting CHUG, these guys will look pretty decent scale wise alongside the haslab SS coming out.

    Yeah, I think I’ve seen other fans say it’s a better height for Legends than CHUG.

    Still, I would very happily buy an Iron Factory Star Saber, Victory Leo, and Deathsaurus… and an Esmeral and a Lyzack, and I think that’s about it for me.

    Iron Factory is one of the best in the business right now. Honestly, Legends collectors have to try hard to be disappointed, with NewAge, Magic Square, IF and Mechanic Studios out there...

    Iron Factory definitely has a style and it isn't always toon-accurate, but damn if they don't make nice figures all the same.

    I love iron factory, but I do wish they'd step up their transformations some and hide hands better.

    I´m all in for any Liokaiser figures, but I´m more of a MFT guy and this will be my first IF figures, so... What price and height are the usual for IF? Do they fit MFT scale? I think I´ve seen figures a bit smaller and others about the same size, but I tend to confuse all this 3rd / 4th party companies.

    Compared to MFT, Iron Factory is usually more expensive and smaller. You have to remember MFT is generally a KO company that upsizes and KO's items.

    It was, but I feel it no longer is. Unless you want to count Mechanical Studio and Mechanic Toys and Mech Fans Toys as separate entities. They released a ton of original figures by now, with the triple changers standing out in my mind as excellent originals.

    Height wise IF generally is on the short side, fitting better with NewAge and Magic Square than MFT, but individual figures will vary. The MFT triple changers are relatively big for IF and NA, perhaps, but I personally like that more, since I feel they are allowed to be a little big, being tanks and planes and trains over regular cars.

    Also, some MFT figures are so big they no longer fit with other Legends stuff, like their Tracks/Road Rage and Blaster/Twincast - yet they make a very nice line-up with the other MFT figures for Seasons 3 and 4. (Reversely, the only Soundblaster to date is NewAge and he's on the short side, and the only other Blaster is Magic Square and too small for their own line-up and NewAge. A proper Blaster, to me, would be between MFT and MS.

    Most IF figures, however, fit fairly well. Their Wheeljack (and other carbots like Runamuck/Runabout) fits along the MS carbots and Zeta Wheeljacks. Devcon and Alpha Trion fit well with MFT Season 3/4 figures, but maybe IF Scourge is a bit smallish, despite being a very cool figure. This may be more a matter of opinion though. I think MFT Scourge is also too small.

    Was hoping for some updates on these guys before Chinese New Year. I was hoping we'd at least have seen more of Leozack by now since they were showing his renders in both modes before we saw the rest of the team.
