    Teeny tiny bebe Reflector!

    ...Perfect Effect did this a decade ago. This looks better, however. And seems to be sturdier.

    Nice enough, but it instantly loses out to Assault Force X by being the cartoon version.

    Didn't someone do the 3 rifles as a tripod before too? I thought it was PE, but looking it up I wouldn't really call that the same and the one I'm remembering was basically the same.

    So Galaxy Toys is MPH?

    They teamed up to make this new small figure.

    Yeah, we've got enough cartoon Reflectors. I'd like a good MP-style Spectro, Spyglass, and Viewfinder that isn't a repaint of the cartoon design but it's a pipe dream it seems.

    Good memory! Sure was. If nothing else, they were inventive.

    That was it. As I said I thought it was PE, which was wrong, so I looked up MS and NA but the first image Google showed me of Camera mode was flat on the ground. I just took it as no tripod since he didn't have on in the cartoon rather than digging deeper.

    So what size are these? Legends, core or smaller (micro master)?

    Ebay:
    Seeing their other figures don't have it (warpath even), I hope they do the same and eliminate that exposed ball joint on the arms. One thing that drove me nuts with NA's figures and what made it hard to swap my MS for them, as I thought they were better scale wise too.

    Otherwise, if quality and fit and finish matches to MS and NA, more so scale with their figures, I will be watching to fill in where I'm short characters. I see they have some car bots I need

    Somewhere between Dr. Wu MicroMasters and Core is my impression. They are a bit like CHUG, leaders Optimus and Megatron are taller than the Datsuns who are taller than Warpath.
    3p wise I'd guess Dr. Wu is their closest competitor.

    The weapon/accessory storage on the Perfect Effect Reflectors is a thing of beauty.

    This seems more like what DX9-mini is to MS rather than more MPH themselves. That could explain the difference with the ball joints.

    Siege did the rifle tripods too for what it's worth. PE's tripod was just the spinning barrel unit of a gatling gun

    I "knew" Siege had a camera mode, but honestly I forgot about it. I bought them, but requiring buying 3 overpriced deluxes really killed my feelings for the figure and it has been largely disregarded since I bought it.

    Fair enough. I'm super tempted by the toy colors 3 pack but I've never justified it enough to bite the bullet. Much more a fan of the Spectro Spyglass Viewfinder bunch than I am the Reflector clones. These look pretty cool though, hope they pan out well

    I felt the same. I really felt the toy deco looked much better, but they came out at the point where I was fed up with Hasbro's escalating prices for what they produced so I only get favorite characters or something I literally don't have at all (I should have bought Xaaron and Flame for the second reason but didn't want to spend the money)
