Gasaraki's Transformers Classics - 3rd Party Stand-ins

[klystron]

Thanks for the review and great pics.
I'm still on the fence about this guy... mainly due to the price point (which I suppose the same for all the cool 3P stuff out there).

cool pic of Planet X PX02 Caelus ..... the alt mode kinda kill it for me , that animal head looks terrible ..plus the price as well.... if it were half that price I wouldn't mind getting him , the robot mode looks really good but the hand articulation is a let down as well . Great review Gasaraki ...

Great pics and review. I have my ordered.

Yeah, WFC/FOC designs are not for everyone but I can't fault Planet X. The Pteranodon head is pretty accurate to the game and that's what this line is about.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Re: Price comment from lancalot, are you going by BBTS price of $80, therefore half-price $40?? I think the only 3rd party figures of comparable size that have approached that price are the Mech Ideas duo, and pretty much nothing else. I guess you can count iGear's warrior series, but the quality and engineering in those are far inferior. I got mine at $60 (RK) which I am happy with, but still, considering Caelus shipped with MP Prowl also at $60, the comparable (but understandable) cost of 3rd party stuff is constantly in our faces.

It's interesting you mention 'line', kup... I would love to see a line from Planet X, especially continuing on with Dinobots. We have been bereft of Dinobots for too long, and I'm am desperate to see more (Animated was really not something I could get into). Anyway, I'm sidetracking... are you aware of what their 3rd figure might be?

I imagine that if Planet X Caelus sells well enough, there will be a 3rd. Which character? Who knows..

I called it a line because that appears to be the intention from Planet X. We already have two WFC/FOC toys from them so I guess that constitutes a line even if it is very small at this point

I really do hope they continue it into something larger as I do like FOC/WFC game designs. The Hasbro ones suck ass but to me, the Planet X ones are great.

yeah if it around $30-40 I think it worth it .... anything more it has to be a great figure before I consider getting it .
