dude no offense but the whole point of the masterpiece line is to represent a real life accurate alt mode with a cartoon accurate bot mode. They are called "Robots in Disguise" for a reason you know. He is supposed to be a Series 1 Land Rover Defender, thats the idea. It would be pointless calling it a masterpiece-style toy if he transformed into anything BUT a Series 1 Land Rover Defender.
Yes, because they also happen to be far more faithful to the cartoon representation. But this isn't my biggest complaint with this figure by far. And overall I think it's a good figure. It's just "a" complaint. And a fairly minor one for me as the alt modes are often used to display my figures.
I kind of agree with you Renegade... However, I think he needed bigger tires.. It'd have evened out his looks..and maybe a different finish on the vehicle green... Maybe a matte?
Good point, i personally love it when the "masterpiece" style toys look like the cartoon just walked off the screen. I want toon accurate instead of toy accurate. I saw a poll once on tfw2005 and toon accuracy won as the preferred look. Anybody else remember playing with a toy and watching the cartoon and wondering why your bot looked so off? I loved my g1 as a kid and i love my masterpieces as an adult.
Bobby Skullface L that would get the fandom raging if it was a straight repaint or retool. I can figure some of the internal engineering getting reused but thats about it. (hopefully)
Bobby Skullface L ***** I just hope we get the basic season 1 cast finished sooner than not. Star Saber and Magnus worry me on diversity. Not a bad thing, but I want my original Autobots already. I have a slightly itchy trigger finger for that TFC Ironhide.
nice review Bobby, he looks a nice figure, to expensive though for his size. Brawn was one of my favourite characters when i was a kid. like ya say if he goes on sale i might be interested.
Thanks alot. Solid review. This alleviates some occasions of buyers remorse. Blame can be shared to an anonymous reviewer. "But..but darling. BSF gave it the tick of approval." She replies "He said on sale!!!!"
Enjoyed your last episode of Shattered Cast. Gotta get the rest of the podcasts. Lots of fun. Keep up the good work. Fanstoys Snarl is about to drop. Very excited.
Personally i'm feeling the aesthetic of both modes. The transition from truck to robot mode appears to be more like origami than transformation. Great review but, I'm waiting for the main event. Just like everyones been waiting for Mayweather vs Pacquiao. I'm waiting to see Bobby Skullface vs Maketoys Utopia! Eye of the tiger vs joints tight, tight like a tiger! I know he only recently hit U.S soil but word on the street (His street) is...he's calling you out....Seriously looking forward to you reviewing that figure....Thanks again for the reviews
My pleasure man. Thanks for the kind words. We'll have to see what Santa brings. Because if that fat bastard doesn't bring him, I'm not sure how I'll get him lol
The dome of the head isn't wide enough I think. like it needed to be more broad looking straight on. It's too round. It's hard to explain almost. It's so close... lol
Hi Bobby. Seeing as I've seen this guy go for over $100 at current market, do you think Hench can be a good fit in a masterpiece shelf? If not, which collection does he fit best in? Thanks in advance.
Thanks. Wish he would be available this month. One thing I have to say, I subscribed to your videos because you don't beg or ask people to like or comment. You simply give your honest and direct views which is really refreshing. People don't get that there's no need to focus on just the negatives. There's always good things too. And you don't tell people often to buy items at places unless they are good people. I just appreciate how you dissect things carefully. Thanks again. I'll keep watching because your videos are great!! Cheers!
Do know what the changes were to the reissue? were there any. Price came down to like 70 on TF Source. Time to buy? Maybe.....it is still a lot of $dough$
Bobby I have a question for you. I know this wasn't your toy but I'm hoping maybe you can help me out. I just recently got this piece off Ebay & mine came with a baggy containing an extremely small screw & some kind of flat silver tab/piece of metal that I have no idea what to do with. There's nothing in the instructions. If you know anyone that can tell me would you please pass it on?
soo close to the perfection but they didn´t hit correctly. i got huffer cubex they hit it in all the right spots the size the truck the man perfect g1 accurate. just the Quality the plastic could,ve been better with some diecast !!!!!

Bad Cube Brawny is the one of best toys of 3rd party !!
Wow I'm glad you're that happy with him man. Nothing better than being perfectly satisfied in your purchase!
Just picked up the reissue. Thanks for the transformation video. You are right on that it needs more paint, especially now a days.
absolutely

And it's ok for me not to like that :)
yes but do you like any of the masterpeice cars? because they are accurate representations of real cars.

From what I gather I think his views have somewhat evolved since this video

Exactly.
I like him.....how about somebody show my boy Cliffjumper some love now.........
I'm guessing an mp bee retool
Bobby Skullface L
that would get the fandom raging if it was a straight repaint or retool. I can figure some of the internal engineering getting reused but thats about it. (hopefully)
Hoist/Trailbreaker is another good one that should get done
I think fans would rage over the cliffjumper choice. But I personally wouldn't. And yea id love to see mps of everything so I'm good with that lant.

You and me both good sir.

HAHAHAHA tell her I said you deserve it.

Thank you sir!
My toy...(Kicks down the stairs)
Other people toys...(Handles it like a baby)
LMAO!!
Awesome review
Lol thanks man
Bobby Skullface L
what was the box that got thrown? looked kinda TFC
Lol yea it was tfc warning line. No subliminal shots fired. Just was the box closest to me at the time
Glad I gave this one a miss with the FTs one coming out, finally.

Lol trust me Mac, I'm trying lol. Glad to hear he's meeting and exceeding expectations. :)
The head reminds me of the 'Stormtroopers' from the movie Spaceballs.
Lol I totally see it
More like Man-At-Arms from Masters of the Universe
Lol that tooooo!!!! Lol
Annoying waist syndrome. PASS. Another very good review.
Thank you Sir. The Bellvís not plugging into the torso is the big let down. Oh well. Hopefully warpath will be on the up and up
Looking at his head reminds me of the guys from Space Balls! LOL we aint found sh....
That is without a doubt the best pet of that movie
Bobby Skullface L or part LOL Great reviews by the way very entertaining.
The dome of the head isn't wide enough I think. like it needed to be more broad looking straight on. It's too round. It's hard to explain almost. It's so close... lol
I think you nailed it.
If it was fifty bones it would be worth it to me based on the issues. The head to me is fine.
+Qc4073 that price would be a much easier pill to swallow

Thanks. Wish he would be available this month.

no clue buddy, sorry

+btwilliams01 i'll ask around
Could use more linework? You were spoiled back in the old times, Uncle Skully. That linework looks excessive compared to modern MP figures
Yup, lol
Lmao i swear the skits are too insane.
Lol thanks dude. Got a great one coming up for mp bee
Tight fit? Hard to get out? Were you reviewing a figure or talking about ...
Don't threaten me with a good time.
I'll pass on 95 dollars when this should be at least around 60 bucks.
Agreed
soo close to the perfection but they didn´t hit correctly. i got huffer cubex they hit it in all the right spots the size the truck the man perfect g1 accurate. just the Quality the plastic could,ve been better with some diecast !!!!!
Yea that thing has a pretty poor reputation.
how much is he worth in your opinion?
80-100 maybe
Something about all of BadCubes figures just doesn't do it for me.
+willarfunk im right there with you!!!!
Bobby Skullface L they're the TFC of third party MP
