Despite the horror stories about the mold I decided to pick up Devastation Bee. He’s not bad at all. Achai’s SS86 Bee head fits on the balljoint perfectly. It’s a bit on the small side but I feel that’s a decent compromise to not get the head stuck in vehicle mode and to not scrape the paint off...
Devastation Bee's legal crap is hidden in both modes since you can only see it mid-way between transformations on the underside of the car's roof. They just messed up either the tolerances or the head attachment and ends up scraping paint off the face.
Macross doesn't have the best track record for figures in my book but I don't hate the franchise itself. Macross 7 Basara Prime came out recently so I decided to give it a shot. Because I'm stupid, that's why.
As expected, the jet mode is stellar. It's sleek and thin and manages to conceal...
Decided to go toon with this guy so that he properly looks like AOTP Bruticus’ Minime.
The light up eyes kinda suck. Because the LEDs are buried so deep into the gigantic noggin, you can’t really see them unless the room is dark.
It occurs to me that if we have an upcoming Lugnut, I'd want a spinny-faced Blitzwing to subject to his shenanigans. That hypothetical Blitzwing means that we'd have a tank to jet triple changer where the tank isn't so happy to see you.
I can probably DIY something about the face scraping but the backpack popping off sucks. This thing is like 4 inches tall and costs 30 US bucks. They really should have stuck a pin in there.
lol TFwiki says it’s because of the lettering. No it isn’t. If the tolerances were so precise that <1mm...
Preorders here started appearing for the three reveals. Put one in for Cyclonus. I’d probably have gone for cliffjumper if he had the chest spoiler and the front of the car mode not been so weirdly blank. Blitzwing looks like DCS but with a brighter purple more or less so I don’t need him. They...
Dramatic Capture Series could make a a Galvatron with two Cyclonuses and a separate Scourge with two Sweeps.
or a clear Megs/Galvatron, clear Thundercracker, Kickback and Shrapnel/Scourge and clear skywarp and Bombshell with Cyclonus
Kind of want Devastation Bumblebee since he overall looks better than Movie Bee but I dunno, between the face scratching, the backpack popping off and the mess of a car mode, I think I'll stay with 86 Bee
New photos have Cyclonus looking a similar lavender to Kingdom, possibly a little more saturated. Don't see the difference with the retooled new legs though. Is it the thighs as a strictly for height thing? I'd have preferred some way to give him less blocky shins and/or actual feet instead.
Cyclonus has clear plastic. Might just pick him up because Kingdom's yellowing plastic sucks and while I can paint over it, it inevitably leads to chippage.
