That was a major part of the decision they made to engineer Grandus as a printed box. Plasticizer can’t melt cardboard.

Yes, we’ve seen people be mistakenly sent full cases of Sidewayses

It’s actually just a set of 32 blast effects. The box is just printed to look like Grandus because what’s the difference?

My Power Rangers upbringing compels me to say that each body part should be a different wildly clashing color. That said, there are enough combiners to have them every which way.

As the vanguard for the new Titan class, Optimus has immense pressure to make a good showing. So how does he stack up? Star Optimus is a big boy clocking in at around 16 inches. He’s mostly a bright candy apple red and a deep blue with little glitter bits mixed in. Really nice colors in hand...

An interesting Kingdom/Studio Series Galvatron cannon popped up, made by Achai, who probably has modified more than half that toy by this point. While it's apparently 3D printed (unlike his other releases for whatever reason), the cannon shorter than the stock cannon in robot mode but is able to...

MERCY IS NOT DISPENSED HERE, FOOLS! ONLY POST-MODERN INTERPRETIVE CALISTHENICS!

I feel the ongoing comic has a serviceable story underneath but has the pace of molasses and has too many fight scenes that ultimately don't add anything to the story. The robo-body horror angle has also grown stale but the author still keeps trying. I'm convinced that people just like it...

another new subconscious mental voice acting casting: Red Hulk now sounds like Senator Armstrong in my head. also wow this Rulk introduction arc is so bad but I can’t stop reading.

Die cast is nothing but a liability when used for large parts of the construction. Joint and internal parts are fine but even using it to make feet worries me and I know how to paint fairly okay. Can’t imagine how bad it would be for somebody who can’t. I’m not so willing to have to do work so...

I think it has to do with my comment of how much it is here in the Philippines. Stores have preorders listed for PHP 19,000 which converted is about USD 330. The math doesn't math completely but it's close enough. That said, sure, part of that markup is probably BBTS wanting to make a buck...

Oh like you never make mistakes while shaving.

You know what, I take that back. CW Menasor at least has a new super mode chest and crotch. Smolder doesn’t even bother. Bro does this and slaps drones on the ends of his limbs

I knocked some points off Smolder because his torso mode is so bad. It’s the CW Motormaster of the line: stellar robot and vehicle but terrible combiner mode.

Super Megatron’s gonna look real silly pulling up on Star Optimus being below his knee and wearing Galvatron’s pants.

Way I see it, the PCC 5-packs were sold at voyager price and had springloaded gimmicks. It probably shouldn’t be too difficult to do the same thing but without springs nowadays since spring gimmicks were largely phased out based on cost, if we extrapolate designer comments on ratchet joints...

For that much I’d at least want each individual beast mode to have limbs proportional to the other pair. Yeah, compromises have to be made for the lack of partsforming and crazy proportions but I dunno, it’s relatively cheaper at $330 here and I still think that’s a bit much for something that...

Star Convoy as Brave Leader/General Daimos. He transforms similarly and even optionally has the car driving into the foot bit. I’d prefer anime colors but toy colors are great too. I’d do this myself but I have to relearn Gimp again.

The headcrest is an easy enough choice to paint but now I find myself wanting to paint the eyes as well since the lightpiping’s not all that effective. Considering the sticker detail on the waist as well and redoing the yellow on the knees since they have a greenish tinge due to Hasbro not...

I think it'll be closer to the 5-pack Power Core Combiners. Maybe robot modes for the limbs but I'm not expecting anything more than Micromaster levels of transformation.
