Forge of Solus? Sold!

How many times in your life are you going to collect an artefact of the original 13? (12 more times?)

Picked up one this morning as well. Though when I got it home the first thing the missus said was how cheap it looked all I could say was "he has a cool hammer though" she was glad I only spent the $39 on him. Also got hold of the voyager Magnus at the local Toyworld (she doesn't know about him yet)

Well upon inspection the box looks very nice due mainly to the artwork, but I think the cardboard feels cheap and it colours look faded as if it was a photocopy of a copy, not an original print. The toy itself inside looks decent, however it really needs something more like metallic paint on the hammer... I was hoping for a fit into classics, but it doesn't quite get there for me.

I see what you mean... I think it's mainly the back panel where the colors really are quite faded, and does look a bit like a poor copy. The front is up to par I think, and it's also got embossing, so at least that sets it apart a little, not to mention the gold stuff which we rarely see. Omega Supreme box has thicker front flaps for sure, but the rest is similar...

I aim for Classics G1 fit myself, and yeah, just the size class itself is enough to disqualify this guy from fitting in...

Me too! After being in the negative about this guy, I changed my mind and got him today.... good value overall, and I'm likely going to use that hammer with the PRiD Voyager or City Commander, if it fits!!

I think I'll find some place at work to stash that box...

Want to pick this guy up tomorrow.

As I had a cycling accident on Tuesday, I was stuck at home all day, but my girlfriend went up to Target and bought me this and a complete set of Iron Man Marvel Legends figures.

I really like the toy. There's a lot of sculpted detail on him, the hammer is very cool, and he has more paint apps than the average TF. The gimmick is effective without interfering with the toy. The alt mode is unconvincing as hell but that's okay, he can stay in robot mode.

Did anyone else look for the 30th anniversary logo and 3/30 sign on the inside flap and not find it? Mine appears to be missing those two marks completely.

Pics below... fits well with all three other figures I have here, a little looser on the lower handle. Have to say, fitting those City Commander legs never cease to be hair-raising scary! And well, not really hiding it from the missus... more like don't want to take up more space at home!

'Somehow, these really do NOT cut it...'




'This is... Ooomph.... much better! Gotta work on those thighs!'
I like this figure, esp with the waist articulation, but the loose hip joints make it wanna fall flat on its face with the weight of the Forge




'I make this look easier than it really is'
Interestingly, the 6 year-old Classics Voyager ends up being far more steady, even though some of the joints on mine are not the tightest




Now THIS is where it's at!
