Most impressive. I'm not a fan of rampage's rear legs in alt mode. They are too thin. I'm sure ill get over it though.
Man the MMC one looks like he on the steroids !! the before and after shot.... :D
damn im broke...
Yeh not liking MMC Rampage's hind feet. Too small and weasly for such a beefy figure.
Geez it's a hard one... MMC vs UT. Both designs are great in their own way. Might have to come down to $$$ for me ...
Are they going to release this as a set or just individually ? Or which way would be cheaper?
It's... so... beautiful... :eek:
I still like the nasty hands on UTs version, but my God that MMC version looks brutal.
It would be MMC for me
you know I am think the same thing.Quote:

I'd love a giftset with brilliant box art from MMC, but that is not enough for me to risk the chance of not getting them. It's just a different case to as when MakeToys was releasing G2 Yellow Giant ahead of Green Giant - everyone knew a Green repaint had to be on its way, and the box art was just the bonus.Quote:

So your saying that not a lot of ppl would want mmcs due to uts release?
I have to wonder about that sincw mmcs is a lot better looking IMHO.
So in essence I shouldnt wait for a box set and juat get these as they come out then.
Humm that will be hard on my wallet. Haha.
Just referring to the rate of diffusion. If there was only one product released to market, the only choices for consumers would be to buy now (early adopters), or wait for more information and buy later (late majority and beyond). i.e. The original market reaction to Steel Core was mixed, but after the reviews came out, enough fans jumped on board to push prices to $250-300 on evilBay :)Quote:

1. Buying product A now
2. Buying product A later
3. Buying product B now
4. Buying product B later
NB: Just my limited understanding of first year marketing, but feel free to debate!
So when are they being released and how much will they be? Where do you get this stuff from?Quote:

The one on the left, by Mastermind Creations, is available on BBTS (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/s...rch=mastermind). Just realised that they have raised the prices on both Talon and Bovis - both increased by $15ea to their full RRP's. As there are two competing companies producing the same character, both had been making price cuts for early pre-order-ers. If you keep an eye on this thread or Seibertron/TFormers, you might find the pre-orders for the next 3 at a special discounted rate too.Quote:

With great reluctance it had to be the 1st 2 Feral Rex limbs :o, I REALLY want this beast but with yet another 2ft tall transforming robot figure on the horizon? - Something had to give. :(
I'll be following MMC's progress with these guys closely though as good grief are they shaping up to be utterly amazing!?! :eek:
I'll install a sneeze guard over mine and then you can drool all you like ;)Quote:

It doesnt help that TT are ramping up MP production either.
1st world problems huh?:)
Oh you evil bastard!, I'll provide my own bib. :p:DQuote:

Meh, not so sure about the size of them to me. Yeah sure, it justifies price a little more but they're so BIIIG!!!! :p;)
He's a bit thick in the ankles/feet too, but still pretty impressive. :D
Mastermind Creations have released colour images of Leo Dux
Man he looks sweet! :eek::cool:, never enough money at hand though sadly. :oQuote:

Their main website is back online but it's not much more than a portal for social media widgets.
edit: and colour pics of the feral rex crew and 2 arcee repaints.

The Azalea/Zinnia mold looks pretty bloody awesome too, but as I've no need for an Arcee I might just have a reason to pick up my first Paradron Medic! :eek::D
Cheers for the heads-up & pics CBratron. :)
The site also has silhouetted images of Eupatorium and Salvia Prominion which also seem to use the Arcee mold judging by their feet and legs.
All of them seem to be priced around $50.
You might want to factor in the additional $75-95 plus shipping (base cost under the assumption that they decide to do another discount) for the optional 6th member of the group, although it just appears to be a remould of Tigris with guns. If it is a remould, then at best it will be a stand in for one of the other arm-figures. Not sure how I feel about a really expensive bench warmer (my weaker instincts just say BUY IT :eek:).Quote:

That Azalea mold looks nice, very tempting.
Salvia Prominion is believed to be Solus Prime. She has the Forge in her hands and the title Ancestor under her name;)Quote:

I wish igear/mgt would do the rest of the girls, but that project's probably dead. :/
Heaps of new pics up at TFW2005 and tformers.com.
Shots of the resin prototype of Rex - it's kinda floppy but it looks good nonetheless.
He is also mistransformed a bit and badly posed. The guy who put it there didn't do a very good job.Quote:

Wasn't going to be picking this guy up anyway (too poor) but I don't think I'll be having any regrets.
Vangelus has put up a couple of vids from the "CP3P: Hotel Room Show" :p -
Here's a look at Azalea.
Vangelus has just put up a look at Leo Dux. :)
