Having such good customer service becomes a bigger deal every year as so many companies willingly ruin themselves.

Confirmed: SS86 Commander class Ultra Magnus is taller than SS86 Leader class Grimlock and towers over Kingdom Rodimus.

Hi Transformer fans!

Hope everyone had fun at SDCC and enjoyed some of the new figures we have coming!

I have some catching up to do with a bunch of requested Insta posts but wanted to start with our SS86 Commander Ultra Magnus.

Bit of a short post but as I mentioned in our SDCC panel, this figures comes courtesy of the wonderful Tomo san at TT.

We crammed in a bunch of wonderful features and articulation that are standard to the scale and really make this a fun figure to play with.

Hopefully you all have been having fun collecting the Junkions so they can fully rebuild Ultra Magnus after his battle with Galvaron and his Sweeps.

Thanks for all the support and we'll have more info and posts coming soon.

Thanks!

Wait...is that a Combiner Wars style connection system for the legs?

Looks like it to me, I wonder about the arm connections, does that use the same connection?

However, this is my current, defacto Ultra Magnus and, IMO, much better than the recent SS version.

So size-wise it's not even any different from the MP it looks like. Wonder what wackiness you can pull wiht the CW connectors for the limbs if they're still the same scale as the original CW connectors.

Whoa that's crazy. I completely missed the part where he's an all-new mold (or nearly so). I assumed it was just an updated version of what we've had so far and stopped paying attention... they're going to get me to buy him a third time aren't they?

I think for correct scale, Magnus and Dinobot need to switch heights.

Dinobot? You mean Grimlock?

I must have those Beast Wars Premium repaints on the brain…

Mensor legs, Dinobot ones, police (Prowl & Streetwise) jet legs, jet helicopter legs, so a LOT!!

Hoping I didn’t miss out on Snarl. Have not seen him on the shelf and he’s either overpriced or sold out online.

Surprised we haven’t heard about Swoop yet.

*edit* just saw he was found stateside. Guess I’ll keep my eyes out.

 

[PrimalxConvoy]

There's an upgrade kit coming out for the Dinobot Combiner.

 

[MrBlud]

Definitely going to snag that for Dinoking if when they both release.
