    Default Neither-Ironfist Nor-Crankcase

    I just find it intriguing that of all the characters they could remould Ironfist into, they chose Crankcase: https://www.facebook.com/mach5toys/photos_stream

    Yeah you're not wrong man, obscure choice indeed but something sort of bothers me about the mold - The forward section of the vehicular mode looks like the rear section of a vehicle... It's really off-putting to me too.

    For some strange reason, it's coming up saying photo not found. Any chance this picture is somewhere else?

    Have not heard of this 3PP nor was I anticipating these two of all IDW characters, but BBTS spammed me in the morning. From photos they look like they're scout/FP Causality sized characters. $60 a bit much for an untested 3PP?

    @Hursti: Not sure if Crankcase is the natural choice of repaint for Ironfist, but guess they needed a character that could help cash in on IDW-related hype. If so, then I would have preferred him to come with his battle damage.

    Argh, the company had previously teased a $45 price point but apparently that was the wholesale cost. $60 is kinda pushing it. Not sure now, especially given that it looks slightly... off.

    But I DO occasionally do scale model assisted simulations in physical fight dynamics.

    BBTS have dropped their price down to $50, which is tempting.
