    Does anybody know where Mech Fans Toys oversized 3p legends KOs can be bought? I keep hearing about them, but no links to where to purchase.

    You mean, the one with the (IMO)poorly designed muscle-builder arms that can't be posed normally?

    Admittedly, that's a dealbreaker for me, too. All it would have taken would be a wrist-twist. I'm always surprised when people design a TF that's missing essential joints for no particularly good reason. :/

    GT's are really good. I doubt they're better than GT, but most likely on par with them.

    I'm curious to see his review. I'm concerned about the combined mode hip reports.

    Me too. I was THAT close to buying that 3P version of Galvatron, too. I have some empathy with Hasbro for making compromises with their toys (due to age, price, safety, etc constraints/issues) but a 3P company, making bespoke style figures tailored to fans?

    I won Mania King in a raffle. I love him, but admittedly, the price made me biased.

    Thanks for the links. Side note. Why doesn't anyone take any pics of them comparing them to the PotP Dinobots? It's all just with legends figures...

    Wei Jiang could always sell on their moulds to someone else and let them carry the line or - or if they want to make money with little or no investment they can just repaint (slightly remould) the moulds they have to make Vortex, Bluestreak, Prowl, Smokescreen, and so on.

    I don't mind shifting focus over the CBB Skittles coloured combiners though instead.

    I have seen pics comparing them somewhere. They're roughly the same size as the POTP limbs, in fact. Basically deluxes.

    I really dig this. I will probably totally copy your idea here and do a similar setup with my guys.
