PerfectEffect has another teaser for us… Let me say I have had one other 3rd party figure that I have ever bought… And now I might have to add this one to my list…

While there seems to be more to be worked out, the robot mode on this beast is just that… Beast! THIS IS SPARTA!

harrisloureiro is at it again! His stop motion skills are simply well Ill let you decide… His recent teaser to his full “movie” he is working on…

Perfect Effect has updated that they will be released in June. This will include PC-03 and PC-04 (Superion and Mensaur add ons.) Their aim is for a more “G1” look for Menasaur (I like the sword add-on!)

PC-01 and PC-02 include hands and feet. So between these two kits we will see a complete overhaul to Superion and Menasaur.

Dr. Wu apparently has been working on a throne for Grimlock. No word exactly yet on scale, but based on the look of it, could probably fit a Voyager very easily. Possibly MP scale even…

This news has broken all over Facebook Communities, and the interest is climbing!

MakeToys has released a statement via email that is informing people who purchased the toy on dates Feb 16th – 17th that if they have not had any movement with the tracking code OR have not delivered on time that they contact them immediately.

I have to say this is one of the most talented ways one can re-imagine there Transformers toys into something real. His work opens the doors for some really neat ideas for fans to create and see there toys in a whole new way.

Acridine Chunhui _5do takes and adds realistic effects via what appears to be Photoshop, and possibly some additional 3D rendering.

Without me carrying on to much more ill let his work speak for itself.

I finally have received my Mania King last week. And let me say this thing is awesome! (With the passing of Leonard Nimoy I felt it was time to invest in this figure!) Getting right down into it here is my general review and some pictures I had taken. (Plan on taking proper ones soon!)

I used my iPhone 5 (really need to use my wife’s Mark III!), and my Diorama I have been working on. Additionally felt like changing things up a bit and adding a black background for more simplicity.

Pro’s

• – Details… This guy has details and more details. His dark purple and over all look and appeal really makes him work really well for Galvatron. (Hint hint Hasbro! Time for a MP!)
• – Robot mode has lots of articulation and is able to stand pretty well (No stands necessary!)
• – Cannon mode – this really matches the original cartoon very well. It is not much to talk about as its just a cannon / gun… Nothing special here as I really don’t plan on him being in this mode ever…

Con’s

• – Fragile parts… His horns are definitely something to keep an eye on while transforming these could easily break off. Mania King’s feet are also on the side of “loose”, however I was still able to get him to stand just fine even with this.
• – Complex Transformation. Not on the scale of one of the most difficult, but still his transformation left me really scared of breaking him. At times I missed a step because the instructions were not as complete or as descriptive as a picture could be. The Generations three step changers are much more difficult than this guy, but even still he had his own challenges.

It seems Nemesis has made its way into several online retailors.

TFsource just announced a limited supply for $169.99. (1 per person)

The Chosen Prime  announced even earlier than that… At also $169.99

From the sound of it folks this is a popular toy / collectors item. If you didn’t get it after the first round, and second round MakeToys exclusive had then here’s possibly your last chance!

Not sure who or what, but someone is selling some Age of Extinction swords for .99 cents! FREE SHIPPING. (Someone from China obviously as thats where it came from…) While the quality is clearly not extremely strong and durable… They are certainly really pretty! I purchased one of the gold versions, they also have a chrome shield and tons of other gold ones available. It also appears they have AOE Voyager Grimlock for sale for .99 cents (must be a mock up…)

I felt that for .99 cents I might as well jump at it because you always need more weapons right? Here are some pictures of what it looks like…

MakeToys Nemesis is now back on sale. From reading it sounds some people may have canceled their preorders… Lucky us as now we get the chance to own this figure! While supplies last go and order it!

The evil counterpart of Battle Sentinel!
