Yeah I can definitely see this as a "put you over the top" for free shipping kind of thing. Looks good enough but not going to rush out to get one. Thanks for the update Skully!
I do think it makes those gaps look better but I am really actually thinking of selling my FP Menasor - I think he looks good but I would never want to transform him again (still get nightmares from Diesel) and I really like the look of Hasbro's "WITH" the two Perfect Effect upgrades.
I need to start collecting some more 3rd party Gestalts. I only have Herc (which is awesome) but it's a pricey business especially here in the UK. I did see the new KO Chinese version of Herc though....made me throw up in my a little. Aside from that your videos and skits are awesome and please keep on truckin'.
i know in the grand scheme of things, this add-on is a drop in the bucket, but i think it's yet another example of the problems the big-ticket, third-party combiners have: they're never really finished products. if i'm dropping between $400 and $600 dollars on these things, i want them to be complete, but there always seems to be something missing that you end up having to shell out more cash for. it can be something as inoffensive as a small company making this set, or worse, a company like TFC making you give them another $50 to complete their own sets properly. it becomes a seemingly endless cycle: you pay the high initial fee, then, an add-on becomes available to make it look better. you pay for that upgrade because you've already invested so much money in the initial set, you don't see a problem with shelling out a smaller amount to make it look better. then ANOTHER upgrade comes out, you might not want to buy it, but you feel if you don't then you've wasted all the money you already put into the set because it's not perfect yet. and on-and-on it goes.
Fair point. And I don't think this is a necessity at all. Fp menasor looks just fine without it. I was just curious to take a look and since it was only 10$ I figured it was worth a shot
Bobby, I've been following your channel for a decade. I'm old. You're old. We're old. You're awesome, and I love your content
Very informative, I sleep well at night knowing the Skullman has us covered....I don't think this adds enough to bother honestly....
Totally agree. I think if you were ten bucks away from getting free shipping this would be a solid purchase though

Perfectly put.
Nice succinct video dude. I'll make sure it gets a mention in this week's news recap!
Many thanks!!!
No problem
I ordered this two days ago. Hope my drag strip piece isn't loose
It'll fit it's just not as secure as the other. Good luck!
I don't understand why so many people have a problem with hip-elbows on combiners.
I agree with you. To be honest. It doesn't bother me either.
Helpful vid, thanks champ!
My pleasure, Mac.
When is it enough? *Looks at my Gen Metroplex covered in add ons* I don't know man, I just don't know.
Lol exactly!

Lol about the nightmares I'm with you there. The PE upgrades just don't fix enough for me on the hasbro one. But cheers for options!

Missed the word "mouth" there, but you get the idea. Hideous isn't the word.
Yea man. Absolutely. And no worries. We live in an auto correct era. Lol I'm not the grammar nazi type. ;)
Cool upgrade. Always wanted to go after this Menasor, but after hearing how hard Motormaster is, rather go for the Combiner Wars version, honestly
God. That combiner wars menasor is such an abomination though man lol. But hey, whatever floats your boat. :)
Lol yeah, sorta, still thinking on it, though. Who knows, I may pass on it, then again, I may not, we'll see. :p
Lol
Awesome review you gonna get the dmy upgrade?
Just paint them to match.
That option is always available, yes, but should it be necessary is the question.

and on-and-on it goes.
I don't know I think we shouldn't have to buy upgrades for such an expensive figure
Fair point. And I don't think this is a necessity at all. Fp menasor looks just fine without it. I was just curious to take a look and since it was only 10$ I figured it was worth a shot
didn't you see that perfect effect is making a kit for combiner wars? why are you still bothering with this junk? ROFL
Lol
