I am getting more and more excited about these Titan’s Return figures with every photo you guys show! But I have a wee little nitpick about Skullcruncher (Skull Smasher) the front feet in the gator mode look huge compared to the rest of the body.
I did preordered Primal since its being released in October and my birthday is in October so yay! Primal and Soundblaster will be my first MP figures.
Hey Zack,
I really want to hear about what you think of Primal when he arrives.
Yes, G2 Menaor and the Generations G2 Bruticus had G2 Decepticon symbols, which makes G2 CW Bruticus having G1 Decepticon symbols all the more bizarre.
I think technically the Iron Factory Optimus is based on IDW Stormbringer Optimus not Dreamwave War Within Optimus.
Sirtoys is NOT US based, and my biggest complaint from them is they throw away the packages, forget the manufacturers, and make up their own names for the toys. I like to see the packages, and know the names and companies that make the toys.
Welcome Back Mike !!!!
I will agree with you guys that the Optimus Prime Comic Boxes are cool!!! But the Price…….too much for me right now. Who know maybe after they are released and are out a while we will see them drop in price. Actually I would bet on it, at a price of $45, I can get 10 short boxes shipped to me and they would actually be a little cheaper. So I will wait and see what happens with these first. I wouldn’t mind them though to maybe story the G1 series and the Regeneration One in.
As for the KO MP11 Starscream. That is definately a great deal. Especially if you are getting the cornation set with it. I more than likely will order one myself soon. I don’t have many of the MP Decepticons other than Exhaust and Year of the Goat Soundwave. Where I have a pretty good collection of MP Autobots.
Yeah, I’m right with you. I really want these comic book boxes, but I’m not going to pay those prices for them. Damn shame too. I really dig how they look.
I am going to hold out until we see how much the mp11 Starscream costs. I would want it just for the coronation kid.
Awesome show guys! Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction for some comics. I know how issues 1-30 and I bought Dark Cybertron book. I will for sure check out More that meets the eye as well!
You’re very welcome Kevin. Hope you’re able to complete the collection.
Thank you Yoshi! i think I might get the IDW hardback books so I don’t have to find every issue. But I will finish this series since I got so far!
Very cool Kevin. I can attest to the excellent quality of IDW’s hardback books. I own several Transformers hardbacks and even the Locke & key hardbacks. They are excellent,
