The 3rd party acquisitions thread!

[VGMStudios]

So I was able to get mine the other day.
Still need to buy the batteries for it since mine didnt come with any.
I took this shot of him.

I was trying to copying this picture.

Its to bad he doesn't have a waist pivot joint.
Im planning to paint the inner part of his eye either black or dark purple.

This is my first 3rd party figure and im really impressed.

What's Hardbone like? Mine should be arriving in the post some time this week

He's actually a lot of fun. Transformation is easy, and he has a knife and grenade that store in his legs that combine with his rifles to make a bayonet and silencer.

he seems more like a Hasbro toy than the Fansproject stuff, like an actual mass-market toy you can play with rather than an adult collectible that can transform.

there was only one tiny issue and that's the feet were swapped. lucky that's an easy thing to do.

Got my Hardbone and Chromedome this week, and I agree, they go pretty well together. They both need a few minor paint touch ups to really sell the G1 homage, but overall very happy with them.

Chromedome was scary tight, though...

Maketoys' Green Giant was going for $360 cheapest. Not sure if you can still get a good price elsewhere, but forum member Gasaraki recently obtained one from ehobbybaseshop.com

They are pretty much sold out everywhere. You may be lucky enough to find an obscure online shop with one, but more than likely you'll have to resort to eBay. And the price isn't going down that's for sure.

Oh, just remembered. It may be easier (and cheaper) to pick up a yellow version. Just remember that their are some differences between the 2.
