The 3rd party acquisitions thread!

Today I received Newage Action Master Thundercracker. He was a bargain, I couldn't resist.

I got MFT Springer today. Really nice figure. A fair bit bigger than I was expecting him to be, but his scale seems to check out, so it is what it is. Very satisfied with it. Very happy I splurged and paid the 2cents for the boxed version.

MFT Astrotrain came in today. Really nice figure, even comes with an extra head in case you don't like the purple. Really nicely done. He's quite big, which makes sense considering his size. Definitely recommended.

Newage Ratchet came in today. I'm still not a huge fan of the Newage vans' transformation, but it beats the hell out of the Magic Square versions, so it's easily the winner. Definitely a good little figure overall, I'm just not fussed on the transformation.

Anyone all in on the NA Dinobots? They're pulling me in. So far all looking great and Magic Square are lagging behind.

Nah. I'm still happy with my MFT (OSKO DX9) Dinobots, and the way NA do their toys disagrees with me (conversely I have very few issues with how MST do their toys). I'll be giving whatever MST do a good look over (whenever they get there, and with luck they'll finish their promised Ark crew presently - only three to go, after all), but I honestly don't expect to be replacing what I've got.

I only ended up with Sludge from MFT's set and he is nice.

However I'm just really liking this NA output for their Dino's.

Is there some controversy I'm not aware of with NA, or is just all the colour options?

Absolutely I'm all in. I mean not for all decos for sure, but certianly for all the characters. Love their Dinobots. Hard to resist the toy and comic deco version though. I already have 3 Grimlocks.

I'm waiting on

- IronFactory Final Battle Magnus re-issue (the IDW chonky armour boi). I have one of the first run figures, but seeing as this is an all time fave of mine I wanted a spare.
- IronFactory Samurai Grimlock
- MMC Transtech Cheetor and Rosana (?).

Today I received Newage Action Master Thundercracker. He was a bargain, I couldn't resist.

The NewAge Seeker mold is a hell of a thing. I have one of the first run Samaels (Skywarp). They really earned their reputation.

Isn't it? I got their Thundercracker on his first run, and I was absolutely amazed at it, a true miniature Masterpiece. It's just such a beautiful and elegant mold.

As for the Dinobots I am all in on the NA Dinos, Sludge appropriately arrived today. I haven't had time to open him yet, but he looks just as good as Grimlock. I opted for the Toy Colours in the end, even though I've got a few issues with the deco. Now I just need a matching toy deco Grimlock and I'm on track. I went comic deco on Big Grim, so I'll be fixing that.
