TakTom official figure stands?

It's a clear version of the stand that came with MP Tracks. It was sold on its own for a limited time some years ago as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive and is no longer in production.

 

As can be seen in this video;

 

I like this Needlenose. He's cute.
But...
Real talk. How the hell did they manage to make him a little LESS sleek compared to the G1 original?
I mean, for real, the robot slab is a bit bulkier and there's more robot kibble hanging off the back.
It's not so bad that it'll deter me from getting one, but still.

Very high likelihood of him eventually getting cannibalized for a bigger, better custom down the line.

Still wondering why this was more important than giving us a proper Breakdown remold, instead of a half-assed 10%-remold, 90%-reapaint

 

*looks at world*

I approve.

 

“…modify it a bit”….that doesn’t make any sense. The tail modification is completely unnecessary. The whole bottom of the jet doesn’t have any resemblance to the F-16XL, that alone is enough to differentiate it and avoid “copyright claims”.

 

Thanks!

 

He looks great. Keen to see what the 'secrets' are in this mold.

I still cant get my head round how they pulled this off with 2 targetmasters yet Pointblank suffered by having just 1.

Now they can do deluxe jets hopefully they give us the Predators down the line.

 

I can not wait to see Needlenose stand besides his fellow Decepticon double Targetmasters, Titans Return Quake, and Siege Spinister. They will make a terrifying trio.

 

Because the money they make from retooling Needlenose to use these ports is in the future, and the money they made from the Stunticons is in the past.

 

they knew everyone with four Stunticons will buy Breakdown too just to complete Menasor.

 

There still needs to be Deluxe class jets. Starscream gets to be a voyager because of his prominence. Needlenose is only worthy to be a Deluxe class toy.

 

He looks cool. It\'d be nice if targetmasters got articulation tho.

 

That's... Stop making sense -_-

 

Weird to me how people can feel this isn't yet another lazy bot with a jet on his back. Is it because he's $6 away from a Voyager price point, er I mean a Deluxe?

Don't people continually make videos complaining on these types? But everyone's hyped for yet another?

 

Needlenose looks good. He doesn't seem to suffer from any budget issues, paint is pretty good and jet mode looks superb. Now hopefully Windsweeper will be retooled from him and a Ruckus retooled from the upcoming Beachcomber to complete the Triggercon trio.

I am still wondering what that secret feature is. I guess, he will attach to the top of Prime Universe Skyquake like how the G1 Predator jets can attach to the top of G1 Skyquake?

 

Because that's kind of what Needlenose is supposed to be. Personally not fan but it is what it is.

 

Aerialbots are bigger offenders in this regard - probably even the biggest - and what's worse, that's by design - and still, fans lap em up.

 

Most people are not interested enough in things they are not interested in to rant about it on Youtube, I just like toys because I am instead a cool girl

 

It is a Generations Select figure? No generalising or scrapped plans about it
