    I already see all the comments saying the same thing, but I'll say it too. Fans Hobby may not make the most "cartoon-accurate" figures, but you can't deny that they've got their big, chunky style that really shines. Power Baser was my first 3rd-party Transformer, and I still recommend it to ANYBODY. I love this big, beefy boy.

    I just adore the Fans Hobby style. Everything has this chunky, impressive quality and they always manage this fusion of ‘serious collectible’ and ‘entertaining toy’. Their stuff captures a certain accessible fun factor I like. Their Ginrai taps in to the excitement giant mech robot things have.

    Si yo fuese la figura de Gran Raijin me sentiría un poco triste por el trato recibido!😂
    Enserio,el"problema"de la tapa sobre la cabina tiene muy fácil solución..y queda perfectamente ensamblada.
    Tengo ambas figuras y aunque Powerbaser tiene un mejor acabado en algunos aspectos,me quedo con KFC.

    Love the comparison as always!!
    Personally i like em both for different reasons, kfc often falls short, tho i didn't have a lot of issues with the top panel, just a matter of aligning everything and pressing hard, the floppy ratchets throughout are just crap, i fixed most by adding extra rubber washers, the knees are now bloody tight, the abcrunch i might need a different spring, but most issues are easily fixable, with power baser i had a few times it stripped the rivet ratchets, not so easy to fix, also it handles great otherwise, but is very lightweight.

    Fans hobby is defiantly their own take on it. I like PM/Ginrai to be chonky so FH hits that mark for me. We'll see how the MPG stands up soon here. I just wish we could have a box art accurate version.

  • @jon-580
    @jon-580 2 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

    I'm a sucker for MP scale Optimus Prime figures and I was interested in KFCs PM Prime. But after watching your review and seeing how poorly it is put together and how it can barely hold its own weight and how easily parts come undone or pop off... I dunno, maybe if I can get it on clearance or something.

    I’m glad that i’ve been waiting for the TT version of this caracther and i’m with you that the Fanshobby one is the better.
    What kind of engineer are you? I’m also an engineer (cooling, heating for utillity buildings) and i have the same thinking of products that can’t do what they are designed to do.
    Anyways, great review, cheers

    Yeah, I think that I'll try to just hunt down the Fans Hobby (in particular the orange Fire Guts God Ginrai variant) or wait for the fugly truck mode of the Takara MPG9+14. Once again, KFC/XTB highlights why I'm only interested in their Victory Leo (and the Starsaber upgrade kit) and their Blaster/Twincast.😮😮😮

    @adamluther5836 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I still feel like when it comes to KFC/XTB/AAT, they're easily on par with many of the best when it comes to paint work, quite high up with creative engineering, but are no better than unbranded KOs when it comes to material quality and tolerances much of the time. If this hobby was about fragile plastic statues you never touched out of the box, they'd certainly be about the best in the game.

    Thanks for showing these, I absolutely love PB even though I typically prefer the animation look. I am not even really attached to this figure but am a total sucker for modular type bots. Also, FYI PB comes with two additional heads. One with red eyes and one with blue eyes and the Super Ginrai feature where the ears slide out and the crest raises up.

  • @tanmanbaseballfan

    Great review as always! I am surprised that KFC won by that much. I do think he looks more accurate, but that frankly doesn't mean much to me since I never really was into those cartoons.
    While I don't transform my guys all that much, I will say that the ease / fun of doing so is important to me - even for figures that just sit there. It helps me to not have a weird "negative emotion" attached to it, if that makes sense.
    I am gonna stay away from KFC, though I do think it may look better than Fanshobby, but in all honesty, I don't care too terribly much for it in this mode ... put on the god armor, and yes please ... that's where fanshobby shines. it looks awesome, and i'm not sure KFC could match it ... heck, I frankly don't think KFC could take the weight anyway!

  • @ShinGallon
    @ShinGallon 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Between the two I prefer the Power Baser Marvel Optimus headsculpt. I just think it looks better and the eyes are the proper red color. KFC has more anime-style proportions (Toei loved giving their robots legs for DAYS) and in general looks cleaner, but I rather like PB's chunky aesthetic. I do confess I have a minor bias because I already have Power Baser (with the Marvel head and full-red hands because he's always gonna be Powermaster Optimus to me). Granted mine is the earlier release that had grey thighs, not chrome, but that just helps him look more like the G1 PMOP toy.
    The thing about KFC wanting to fall apart makes me want him much less, even if he's aesthetically very nice looking. PB is just rock solid, I've had him for years and he's just as sturdy as ever.
    I'm still on the fence about the official MP, I suppose it depends on if we get a Marvel comic head upgrade kit from DNA for it because that's a dealbreaker for me.

    That has to be a 1st run on the KFC Grand Raijin because my copy is put together very well... nevertheless, having both of these, I thought Power Baser was a big boy but KFC is huge!!! I like the toon likeness of KFC but FansHobby stylized version screams armored up bot to me...

Sometimes they are Frustrating because of the bulk or build, but just watching you breathe at KFCs and the Floppy, Loose, Come Undone (Duran Duran) of a mess is just a Tragedy. FH all day everyday...until Magic Square ofcourse. LOL.

      Maketoys Thunder Manus isn't MP scale, these two (KFC/XTB & Fans Hobby) are. If anything, the only thing that the Maketoys has to compete with is Takara's LG35 Super Ginrai+LG42 Godbomber (or the outright LGEX God Ginrai).

    One thing missed as comparing the cab in robot mode without the trailer. Height wise Fans Hobby is more accurate. Overall great review. It's odd that such a poor figure scored so well.

    • @TMReviews
      @TMReviews  2 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Yeah it really comes down to build quality, to me that is paramount but to some it's not as important, hence why I don't weight any category, I leave it up to people to decide what is important to them

    @Norrisc761 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Oxford English Dictionary: Stylized means something depicted or treated in a mannered and nonrealistic (including disproportionate) style. This means that the G1 cartoon series designs were stylized. The G1 Powermaster Prime toy was not as stylized (at least as far as the vehicle mode goes), like many of the original Diaclone moulds. So, the more a figure looks like the cartoon (the more cartoony looking) the more stylized it is. Therefore, any toy design that tries to emulate the cartoon is the more stylized figure. Ergo, Power Baser is not the more stylized figure; KFC is. Just wanted to clear that up

    It's interesting how KFC won basically due to aesthetics, he looks great, but is a pile of junk, I like their upgrade kits, the hands are awesome, but this figure is a disaster, in my personal opinion. Fans Hobby builds quality figures, not a fan of the aesthetics, but they are cool. When the takara one comes out, I think it will kick KFC in the looks department.
