This thread is for reviewing the licensed third party Yolopark Transformers model kits.
For reference, here is the tfwiki page on Yolopark:

In my recent overseas travels I picked up the Yolopark Cog-less mode bots: Orion Pax, B-127, Elita-1 and D-16. I'm not really into collecting even licensed third party TF toys (nothing against them, I just focus my collecting more on HasTak figures). But aside from being more impulsive when I'm travelling, I don't see HasTak making non-transforming action figures for the TF One TFs' cogless forms (and if they did, they'd likely shoehorn in some alt mode to sell the toys to kids). I'm not planning on collecting any more as I'm hoping that Hasbro will release regular transforming action figure of their cogged forms via Studio Series.

The figures work by snap-on assembly with each piece packed in their own tray compartment. There's no need to remove anything from sprue frames. Each figure comes with interchangeable pairs of hands, jetpacks and - despite being called Cog-less - transformation cogs. The cogs don't actually do anything. The figures can't hold them... don't really know why they bothered including them. Each figure features 20 points of articulation. They're also fairly inexpensive, at 20-something dollars per figure. That's roughly the same price as the RRP for carded Action Masters after adjusting for inflation, only that these figures are way more poseable and come with more meaningful accessories. The downside is that, as model kits and not action figures, they're more light weight and don't feel as durable as regular Hasbro Transformer action figures.

Cog-Less ELITA-1
Height: 13.5cm
My Elita-1 had a few loose parts that wouldn't take hold, so I ended up buying super glue to hold them in place. I haven't had this issue with my other Yoloparks. Not sure if this is a common issue with Elita-1 or if I was just unlucky.


In box. You can see from the window how the head and upper torso are in their own separate tray compartments. Every component and accessory comes packaged like this.


Robot mode (front)


Robot mode (rear). Each Cogless miner has a removable back panel where you can attach their jetpack.

These shots demonstrate how well balanced these figures are.



Excuse the blur, but you can see how well Elita-1 can hold an axe kick.

Cog-Less B-127
Height: 12.7cm

B-127 also comes with his welding helmet which is removable and can swing up and down. The helmet is unpainted though (whereas in the movie it has a black front with red visor).

Cog-Less D-16
Height: 15.5cm


Cog-Less ORION PAX
Height: 14.2cm



Giving D-16 a fist bump


"Now kith." The room at one of the hotels I was staying at had this statue so... I got silly.

COGLESS MINERS



Overall: I think that these kits are good value given that they're only $20-something each. If you're looking for well detailed and poseable figures for the TF One Cogless miners and you don't mind some basic snap-together assembly, then I would recommend getting these kits.
