The 3rd party acquisitions thread!

today i got all 5 of DX9s war in pocket dinobot figures.

these little guys are amazing, they look like they fell right out of the tv

I reckon they look great as well, all the War in Pocket bots do but they are bloody expensive for the size. I cannot justify the price.

Unique Toys Peru Kill. OMG! What an amazing figure! No vehicle kibble in sight, such a tidy and solid design. They absolutely nailed his look. He looks great next to the MPMs.

Received my Magten KO MP-36 yesterday. This has been the silvered coloured Megs I've been looking for (to replace my Apollyon). Absolutely love the silver chrome and it looks great next to me TT MP-10

One of the main reasons I didn't replace him earlier was because I didn't like the grey of the official MP-36. THF's was close but this one was/is just perfect (for me). Also (possibly due to it being an official repaint) it already has Decepticon tampos. As far as I can tell they all look aligned correctly.

I still can't get over the silver though, it's awesome. The red inside of the legs is really nice too. Everything is very metallic looking. (edit: just looking at my photo, wondering if I'm missing a screw on the inside leg panel o_O? ) Bonus is that is also comes with G1 Toy face / chest + plastic gun stand. Unfortunately there is no back panel but I can live without it.

Regarding the joints, they are ok, better than an official I would say, not sure compared to THF or IT ones though. I'm waiting for the IT one as a toon accurate version ( for whenever they release a v3 toon Optimus )

I'm not sure if it has english voice clips yet (no batteries lol) and I haven't yet had time to try and transform him but here's some quick pics I took from on my phone.

Recieved delivery of Fansproject LER-07 Pinchar (w/ Lepida) - “Snarl” - today, finally completing my not-Dinobots team. Been a long time coming and nearly gave up hope that these would ever be done.

He’s a bit more simple than the others, able to be transformed at ease without instructions. Some joints and limbs are a bit looser than previous LER releases too. Wondering if they cut a few corners in order to finally release him. He does, however, fit the overall design aesthetic of the rest of the team and overall is a pretty solid toy. Very happy to have him.

Just curious, is there any news regarding how FansProject is doing?

There was a year when they seemed to be doing really well with the Headmasters, Dinobots and Dinoforce announcements in one go. However they seemed to have been really quiet with releases/announcements and slow with releases in the past few years.
