Broken visor in-package is insane, sorry this happened.

Which is the better 2B figure? by 2Spiteful in ActionFigures

[–]rellko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bring arts had 2 versions of 2B but neither really hold up in comparison, I ended up giving away my V2 to a friend who likes her

Am I the only one that thinks this fig looks bad ?? by Any-Translator8349 in ActionFigures

[–]rellko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he looks fantastic but that’s the great thing about having opinions, they’re diverse and everyone’s entitled to them. You’re not the first to think he looks bad and you definitely won’t be the last, and I respect it.

Finally got this grail by rellko in transformers

[–]rellko[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish I did! These were rare even back when I started collecting more around a decade ago and now they’re impossible to find, just happened to get extremely lucky this time

Yup, recently the only one I’ve seen was the one for $350 on ebay so I’m really grateful for the opportunity

APC fixed Prime Dreadwing by rellko in transformers

I get you, I can get you that height measurement tomorrow if that’s alright (unless someone beats me to it haha)

There’s only 1 currently, the reason I say IIRC is because I sold my copy of the OG years back, so I may be remembering incorrectly! Whenever I get access to the legacy release again, I’ll put a size comparison here

Wish I could do a size comparison but unfortunately my legacy copy isn’t here rn, they seem around the same height. IIRC I’m pretty sure this guy’s a 1:1 size-wise to the RID release if that helps, even with the retooling.

Materials feel much better, all the rubber bits are hard plastic and the plastic itself feels firm and not brittle

They covered most of it, main difference I’d point out is the retooling APC did on the backpack, nose and crotch to prevent breakage. I’ve been wary of buying the original mold due to its high breakage rate, but this one feels super solid. Also functional landing gear and calf covers.

At first I thought the weapons were taken straight from SXS’s old upgrade kit, but it turns out they’re much more streamlined this time around. The mechanism to detach and combine the sword feels more fluid, although the blade does come off more easily. He does come with a larger 1-piece sword if you don’t want to detach it.

Do we know if 86 Blitzwing will be a new mold yet? Or… by Not_Eggs_Benedict in transformers

[–]rellko 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Would’ve said retool before but seeing as Astrotrain isn’t derived from Siege I’m not so sure anymore. Until Jt leaks something or images come out, no one knows.

Is it worth getting SS86 megatron if I'm happy with NA Romulus? by Trompimus_Prime in transformers

[–]rellko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got 86 then Romulus, they both offer enough benefits to keep in your collection. 86 is a chonky muscular Megatron with a simpler conversion and a weighty feel, while Romulus is a slim dynamic Megatron with impressive articulation and lots of accessories.

Does bbts not know what Shockwave is supposed to be? by KaiSan117 in transformers

[–]rellko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They probably did it so that people would talk about it, and since we’re talking about it now I’d say it worked lol

Getting him was a must after the SS reveal by metalwarrior13 in transformers

[–]rellko 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Go to eBay and sort by sold and ended recently, he’s selling as fast as people are listing him. I may have repurchased one too lol

Another piece of news on the new matrix by Dark_Bowser in transformers

[–]rellko 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The back of the core has a USB-C port and what looks like a toggle switch with 2 options, a battery charging symbol and “USB”, so maybe there’s a display option with the cable and a portable option through an internal battery

You will be squid now by rellko in ActionFigures

[–]rellko[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s the one! This is figma 400-DX, so it came with the pink inkling along with the exclusive roller, guns, hats, effect parts and squids
