    The things is, I just don’t know where to fit 5 Deluxe Dinobots into this tableaux...

    And, of course, I could just put them on top of the books, but I dunno if I wanna, yet. That, and I’m contemplating holding out for a Legends Volcanicus.

    Still, I’m in for my namesake from MFT, at least! :D

    My MFT Swoop is with MP Grimlock and TW Snarl, because Swoop logically is the smallest Dinobot.

    I'm prioritising MFT size at the moment as I have more of them.
    But yes the bigger characters in MFT can easily do double duty as a way to make the likes of Sixshot or Ultra Magnus seem bigger : they also might work better with some of the Hasbro stuff for the same reason.

    I find the DX-9 Cone heads I have to be so small they are more like a Cyberverse Commander compared to a Legion than they are a modern Legends toy (to me at least) heck they seem almost like a slightly larger take on the WST concept at times with some of them.

    They eat up some serious shelf space in dino mode.

    I no longer have my little battle scene.

    For anyone that picked up the toon (yellow) mft grimlock, did yours come with any accessories other than the sword and gun?

    Just wondering if it was supposed to come with a crown or any of the other bits... Thanks.

    Yeah, that's why I went with the MFT instead of the DX for my Swoop. He fits better with my Dinobots at a larger size (MP Grimlock, TW Snarl, TW Slag, FT Sludge, MFT Swoop).

    The MechFansToys dinobots are a good alternative to the Power of the Primes dinobots (as long as you don't mind that they can't combine into an unstable, kibble-encrusted Megazord). They are a bit more expensive, but they look better, have better transformations and designs, and are about the same size.

    The deluxe Power of the Prime dinobots are actually a tiny bit smaller than the MechFansToys dinobots, though they're about the same scale-wise. Of course PotP Grimlock is bigger than the MechFansToys Glimlock, since PotP Grimlock is a Voyager scale figure and Glimlock is the same size as all the other MechFansToys dinobots.

    I still want to know if the Snarl and Grimlock in toon colours on cards have any sign of a barcode on them - if someone can tell me please.

    Wish I had known about this question when I got mine a few weeks ago as I would've checked before throwing the packaging out.
