    I haven’t focused enough on the Palm Warriors to comment on their articulation, but I do think they looked a bit under defined and soft looking, almost unfinished, really. Now, that’s also not to say I want them to have the extreme molding as some of Cassy Sark’s work, either, @CaptJagged :p 

    And, I agree, @destrongerlupus, that it would be nice if the first post included links to their respective posts here on the 3P board.

    Thunder Manus’ powermaster figure packs in some surprising articulation at the size, but it feels like it’s the absolute smallest/thinnest you can get away with it. With a headmaster I think you could get away with being a little chunkier, which would help, but yeah I hope if they do go for more articulation they don’t go too far the other direction either.

    I’d say it seems like 3P is zeroing in on the Goldilocks Zone of Legends scale ‘masters :D

    I'm not 100% positive, but I think he's asking for links to shops that still have figures in stock. That way he knows what's still available first hand versus second hand.

    They're both good ideas.
    Linking figures in shops and linking threads would both be massive endeavors though. Not to mention keeping up with when things go out of stock.

    @destrongerlupus, I think your best bet would be to ask in this thread what you're looking for.

    I'm sure one of us can point you in the right direction. Be it a thread or a shop.

    I’ve seen henching for Prowl go south, @IronMagnus :oops: 

    But, dredging up the relevant TFW threads with an evening of Google searching just sounds like a good excuse to listen to my backlog of Democracy Now and The Real News Network segments, @Potchez :D 

    And, @CaptJagged, I’m a lil remiss that MakeToys’ Thunder Erebus, or Striker Manus, didn’t tune me back into the hobby, but I was saving myself for the advent of a Legends Bruticus.

    On the line of post season chases, Iron Factory’s Dynobots are still generally available, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. So, I may turn to Turrets and Manacle, first, if I don’t find a moment to fit Scouts and Sniper, which is as much for the figures as it is for Iron Factory’s old accessory sets. Most of all, I’d like to get Diabolous Rex: he’s just too cute.

    Still, Slipstream is almost here!

    I’ll likely get IF’s Warpath, since he does seem pretty ideally proportioned, too, even if I don’t have a special fondness for him. But, Jazz seems perfect to me, except he doesn’t have a guitar :p 

    I found a few on Shapeways, and I’ll get around to adding them to the Rush Beats thread sometime soon-ish.

    Not sure what your first comment there means.

    Regarding Turrets and Manacle, TFSource has gotten some older IF sets back in stock:
    Iron Factory - IF-EX02 Turrets and Manacle

    Maybe available cheaper somewhere else, but I got that set from TFSource for $54.95 back in 2015.. so $59.99 ain't bad imo.

    I was joking about Prowl’s characterization in the first two thirds of IDW Phase 2, @IronMagnus

    And, that probably works out to being about the same as robotoybase’s price with shipping. But, as ever, that’s stock permitting.

    Thank you to all the people who help me keep this thread up to date. :) 

    If you have questions about any of the Legends (tiny scale) figures, feel free to ask in this and someone will most likely be along to help out soon enough. ;) 

    I will try to update with what items are in stock and have sold out at retail (or regular China seller eBay prices) using color codes. Once you notice an item has sold out or if one has come back into stock tag me in a post and I'll update. Hopefully it isn't too crazy to manage.

    Right now, I will start with my best guesses because I am not aware of exactly what has sold out. If you notice anything that needs to be changed let me know. I don't have a lot of time to work on this today. :)

    Unique Toys Chromedome & Weirdwolf seems to be sold out.

    Also: I think Perfect Effect's Rumble & Frenzy (PE-01R/Warrior Type-R & PE-01F/Warrior Type-F) should be added. At least, I use them with my Legends!

    Thanks for all the engagement folks! I'd LOVE to help, but honestly, even trying to search based on the list already compiled, I can't even begin to figure out where to validate if things are available, out of stock and de-listed, or still in pre-order etc etc. I just don't know this part of the scene well enough.

    I also recognize how much work even compiling a list like this at all...so I'm not going to whine or pester, I'll just admire all the hard work, whether you add any more layers of information or not.

    Amazing thankless work.

    I’ve been lurking for a while, so I have some sense of what’s around from regular browsing of popular and some less frequented eShops.

    Still, getting that analytical, I’d suggest posting in that figure’s thread to see if anyone might have a clue, @destrongerlupus

    Otherwise, @CVprowl has done a great job at providing the best and broadest qualifications for availability, without getting seriously granular.

    All the same, I always thought the first page should link to their threads on the boards like a directory, so I don’t mind starting that this weekend.

    Would the nbk devastator count? Or is he too big?

    I think I like this size on this one, but the mold is so awesome and I love Jetfire, I'd be tempted to get both.
