Great Review! I think this is a great figure for those who are into the "Plus" aesthetic. My two deltas are that the head doesn't securely tab. The MMC Sphinx had slight head issues as well but the red semi circle section at least had the small tab to stop it from moving. Then I feel the Alt mode seems a bit squished, I always thought the F1 cars were a little more elongated. All a matter of taste it is great that the fandom has created great options for unique collections!
I guess I got lucky, received my TE-03 and everything came out of the box correctly! I love this figure, very well done in my opinion.
They fixed the issue on wave 2, so all new ones are good to go
Great review man! Just one thing that I think you missed (I may be wrong but I couldn't spot it!) when changing into car mode, the wheels shift forward to fill out the back a bit better, they're on a small armature. Only a small detail but really makes it look more "finished" at the back 👍
I'll check that out, thanks
I think everyone has missed this so far. I learned about it from a TFW post.
Definitely easy to miss, but makes a difference
Just a psa my TE mirage arrived with both foot panels green and TE is not giving out replacements. Your looks fine though. Tfsource was good enough to shoot me a 5$ in store discount. Lucky both mine are green looks odd but matches. Folks check your version make sure you didnt get scewed.
Green? That's so odd, seems there QC on this one is subpar
Good review,may pick him up down the road. Tempted to get TE Optimus.
I love the thing! I had to fix both hips and lubricate the plastic on the slider pins for the spoilers because it was crazy tight. After that, it has been awesome!
Glad you got a good one, I'm a fan too
My copy just arrived from Show Z Store, and the hips are correct out of the box.
Nice, so they fixed it on version 2
@@TMReviews I just got the reissue that just came out and it wasn't fixed lol
Doh
Thanks for the great review! I’ve been curious about this effort by TE. I think I’m gonna wait for your comparison video before deciding to purchase. I do want to second the kudos for Nate’s Toys and Collectibles. Outstanding prices, pre- and post-sales service, plus Nate is simply an all around awesome guy in general.
Nate's awesome
Thanks for the review, and showing the fix for hips. I enjoyed seeing what an articulate bot he is, along with good materials. Hopefully those joint pins stand the test of time - as I've got this guy ordered along with TF Dunerunner, or whatever he's called now :). Thanks again.
I think the pins will be ok, my MMC version is much worse off
@@TMReviews Good to hear, I sold my MMC version of Mirage (Sphinx). I only flipped him back and forth once. He was generally ok, I just remember him being more 'fidgety' if that makes sense; nothing just quite lined up when trying to pose him. Still a good alternative, but I look forward to see your comparison of them both.
Great review, thanks for sharing! Hopefully they get the first units fixed quickly.
Thanks memo
Thankfully the ones from TCP wont need to be fixes.
I cracked the leg at the pin by doing the fix, and so it is floppy like yours. I hope my supplier can get a replacement. Then I will repair it by punching the pin out. Overall I like it for the $70 it cost, but I recommend making sure people get a fixed batch. The fix is not fun and can cause problems. Sadly I think there is an opportunity for the Fanstoys to beat it, but at probably twice the cost!
That sucks, sorry it broke. Hopefully they are willing to replace it
Finally!
Woooo been waiting for,this
Hi, I'm French & my English is not very good. I don't understand all on your video.
Question: the quality is good or not & the tires are rubber ??
Thanks.
Quality is great, it was pressed in packaging against the plastic which made an indentation that goes away over time, the tires are a soft plastic not rubber
@@TMReviews Thanks for your message. Nice! ;-)
Good job, I used this video to transform it into vehicle mode. Is it me or did you skip a waist rotation? I had to do it but I didn't see you doing it!
Might have skipped it, had a camera outage
@@TMReviews when you start doing the legs, at a certain point the swivel is rotated 180° and my face was like this 🤨 Fortunately you explained the ab crunch "for transforation" so I guessed I had to use that in order to rotate the waist.
私も買いました。持ってますよ。アニメG1設定通りのスタイリングですよね👍✨😉
Great review. How does the figure feel in hand? Any die cast?
Not much die cast externally, mostly internal hardware
is tax charged when we buy off of bababoo's store? instead of going through eBay?
obviously with smaller purchases like stickers, it's neglegable, but with bigger purchases, upwards of $200 plus, it adds up.
thanks!
No tax from his store, only on ebay
@@TMReviews
thanks! I'm so going there!
What is the name of company
It's in the title of the video you are watching
Is it unable to transform without fixing the hips?
Correct
@@TMReviews i saw after the remainder of the video. Thanks tho
Genial
Where can I get a spuger?
Amazon, they have cheap ones available
@@TMReviews thanks bro
You should care about Ford.
Ha, I guess it's not the actual ford symbol or lettering, just a wierd ripoff
Dude.. i preordered from TF source. If mines hip comes like this I’m returning it. Not worth the $$ for such nonsense.
@manofsteel33 Damn. Thanks for the heads up. Its not only the mass production. Its the cost and the principle associated with it. If this was mass produced by Hasbro for $30 or whatever a deluxe figure goes for then Id be more ok but I'm spending $100 for a high quality/limited run/high end figure. If everyone who got this figure returned it it would have sent a huge message to these companies that QC is important and that this nonsense won't be tolerated. Oh well. I hope you enjoy your figure though. It looks great in robot mode!
Good info. Thanks
