    Thanks
    I have MS Prime and he looks great with NA Megatron. I also have the toon deco DX9 Dinobots. They work really well size-wise and their design is pretty nice, though the articulation isn't quite up to the standard of the newer bots from MS and NA.
    Double-dipping for both bot and alt modes makes a relatively small collection look a lot bigger too!!
    I'll hit you up if there are any figures I'm not sure about.

    Ok, I may have to preorder this one.

    I still want to see final colors and samples of NewAge's versions, but this looks great.

    NewAge and Magic Square are stressing me out. I am already on the fence about which Soundwave and original-deco Reflector to get, and now I’m torn on which toy-deco Reflector to get as well. Ugh. I like how expressive the faces are in this version.

    Always been a fan of the toy deco more than the cartoon deco so I'm glad I held off buying the animation colors set. Really liking the look of these

    Dang, I already have the toon deco, but I've always preferred the toy deco, so I'll prolly want to grab this. I also appreciate that unlike the officisl Refraktor Reconnaissance Pack, this Viewfinder has a different head than Spectro or Spyglass.

    Eh, I was waiting on a toy deco, just not from MS. Will likely go for Newage as they have a more "toy" look

    :eek: 

    I prefer battle scenes and the like, but, yeah, that was amazing. Incredibly smooth as @Testicules Prime said!

    What a clever way to showcase the features of the set! The possibility, joint movements, 360’s of each character - It’s practically a mini review on its own! I approve!

    My Reflector arrived a few weeks ago (finally). Love these little guys and I really love that MST used clear plastic for their chests but I hate hate haaaaaate the ugly looking peg holes. So I decided to do something about it.

    IMG_20200525_234548~2.jpg

    The clear panels aren't glued so I just pulled it off, made little hole covers from styrene, painted them silver, secured them in place, cut the pegs off the clear panel, sanded and polished the back of it to get rid of the cut marks from where the pegs were, then used UV glue to secure it in place. Took about 20-30 minutes altogether. I'll do the other two tomorrow or later cuz it's late and I'm tired now but I wanted to show what an improvement it is. Yeah, you can see the patches but they don't really look all that out of place with the other tech details (and they look much better than the gaping holes) and it was much easier than it would've been to fill the holes properly, sand them down, the repaint the chest silver.

    [edit] Just noticed some of the polishing compound is still on the middle guy's chest. Ignore it - it'll wash off. Just got stuck in the molded details is all.
