    they can do it with normal paint a la telomecha and yet they would sell specially dinobot and megatron since they don't have furr

    I already bought those, full price, when they first came out. I gave the larger Prime figure away to a kid (on account of it being rather pants).

    Heres a figure kid.Hands the figure to the kid and walks away stretching his ears awaiting for the inevitable cries. Thats the image I got conjured to my brain reading this. Though I know that was not the intention.

    Yes I know I am a horrible person, no I dont regret it at all.

    Yes!!! That’s the one I was thinking of. I remember reading about it when they first announced Primal and watching videos of wheels and rims being dipped in big liquid vats. Thanks.
    I’m pretty sure that’s the paint process they used for all the Beatswars MP’s and I’m not sure it’s somehing the KO companies would easily replicate. Not that they couldn’t do it but it’s unlikely the factories and facilities these companies generally use would have easy access to that specific specialised equipment. They could certainly buy or source the facilities to do it but that defeats the purpose of cheap KO’s if you need all new specialist gear to make them.

    All this assuming they dont use the same facilities/factories that TT uses.......

    Which is another discussion for another time, but we simply do have some nods for this.

    Hello, was wondering if someone has pics of individual members posing with MTF decepticons? I've seen plenty of the combined form but can't make an idea of the crew.

    I'm so behind on these purchases.

    Waiting on a damned FLASH SALE.

    Since PT Ko'ed this, though... I await the incoming 8 different versions.

    I still haven't pulled the trigger on this. I currently have five different Bruticus (Brutici?) in my collection so I'm not certain that I need another one.

    lol...i am loving the new term of "Brutici" by the way.

    but if you are on the fence about maybe picking up this guy. please just pull the trigger on him it is well received. now even though i dont own this exact version in particular. i do have the IF bot and he is simply fantastic and a great set of bots all around.

    so if this is a good as it has been talked about by members that i can trust their judgments. then it should be a no brainer if you get all the cool aspects of the IF bot for less than half the price.

    Mine finally came in. As someone that has PE Ginrai I'll say they feel about the same.

    I just wish x2toys or kbb would do the xt009 kit for CW Magnus again now because I missed out on it and can't find it anywhere

    I really prefer this guy not attached to Magnus. The torso looks off with him in there.
