So the MMC version of Desthsaurus appears to actually be taller than this guy. In a comparison you can find online, D-zef is about a head shorter than MMC Overlord. This guy is meant to be CHUG scale. Him and Star Saber were massive in G1, and in the IDW comics he's a little inconsistent. At the very least, he's bigger than Tarn, but smaller than Overlord, which is what this figure is. Not sure if you'll see this, but the intent of the figure was to be in that MMC/CHUG scale. I encourage you to look up that picture of MMC's D-zef with Overlord, you'll see what I mean. I'd post the picture here if it weren't RUclips. Bottom line, MMC's is probably a little bigger than this.
Got to say, I love that a lot of 3rd party companies are starting to move away from doing the same characters over and over again and giving us more obscure ones as well. Don't get me wrong, I love Optimus as much as the next guy, but I don't need two dozen different takes on his G1 body. As for the scale question, he's more or less the same size as Star Saber in the show, which means he's about Combiner sized.
Gotta learn to accept the blessings from the community I know it’s hard but it’s a show of respect love and appreciation for what you do. Real recognize real
MMC has become a company of minimal effort regarding their IDW releases. If G Creations would amp up production I’d bail on MMC in a heartbeat. Don’t know about Planet X, but if they commit to the IDWverse and put out that on spectacular representation of a popular character, I can be sold.
I follow you because of the little things you say, sometimes it's beyond funny , sometimes it's extremely heart-felt, but it's always kept 100! You solid my dude
it actually does scale with the mmc figures, if you notice in that picture he is standing further back than tarn which would make tarn appear larger, however if you look at some images from later on in more than meets the eye you will see that deathsaurous is actually larger than tarn, so it does scale with mmc
Thank you. I have always loved Planet X figures, I may be a little bias being a big fan of the FOC/WFC look Glad this turned out so good I really want them to keep CHUGing along
I like how chunky this seems. It's got a look, but it doesn't feel like it's over-engineering to hide kibble or the like. It's just set to neaten up enough for the job while feeling robust. Like it's eager to be played with. I'm getting one for X-mas and I'm VERY keen to get my hands on this. I've NEVER masterpiece-aliked before so this looks fuuuuuuun!
One of the funnest figures I've ever messed with, and the scale is perfect for my shelf because giant 'bots like MP Starsaber aren't my kind of thing, so what Planet X is doing works great with the look of the figures I have such as FansHobby G2 Optimus. And I cannot wait for the Starsaber Planet X has on the way, and I can't help but think about how awesome it would be to have a Scorponok in this scale and style that Planet X is developing. Excellent review Skullface, as per usual.
Excellent review fellow collector. This gives me a lot of faith for Star Saber which will be my first Planet X purchase. Glad to see there will be strategic placement of diecast as well.
Thanks for showing him with GCreation Prime! I want to get PX Star Saber and was wondering how that figure would size up with Prime. But since PX Star Saber is going to be about the same size as Deathsaurus, I can see they’ll scale pretty well together (I think, don’t recall those two ever being in the same comic panel). Thanks Bobby!
On The subject of scale, I'm completely fine with this being both an IDW and G1 scaled. IDW Tarn, to me, isn't some huge imposing monster like your Megatrons', Shockwaves', or Deathsaurus,', he always looked about slightly above average height wise compared to other bots so this one being taller fits perfectly for me. Meanwhile, G1 had him at a HUGE size that always came across as ridiculous, an almost combiner size. So this guy being shorter then that is perfectly fine or me. Woo! Another figure that fits my collection!
I think they tried to go for something that would fit both a Masterpiece IDW scale, and their previous WfC/FoC figures, since there are a few design details that matches with those... like the tail is VERY similar to the ones of their Dinobots... and if you go for a G1 scale, Deathsaurus and Starsaber were bigger than the average Autobot and Decepticon leaders. And it looks like they pulled it off... color me impressed. Would be cool if they were to give a shot in this style and scale to Overlor and Ginrai too.
Awesome execution, by P-X. And I believe, same as their War for/Fall of Cybertron stuff that this is MP scaled and with this guy I BEG AND HOPE for Nova Prime. These wings and all...sure make it possible, I think.
Hey Bobby, if you want an accurate size comparison, Deathsuaras is around the hight of Victory Saber. So MP-24 combined with Simba. He is supposed to be a big fella so either gcreations or Chug (what I'm using him for)
I like seeing someone else in this IDW space,(especially with this level of quality) Even if the scale is its own thing. I don't have a lot of experience with IDW but i really like the aesthetic.
It is a different direction that PX is going, whereas how we are familiar with their FOC aesthetic. But for them to go the IDW route, is really different to see from them.
I think Deathsaurus should be bigger since he actually was the same size as Star Saber. While at the same time I'm aware that this Isn't meant to be G1 Deathsaurus but instead IDW.
Yeah the scale is weird. I am a fan of the Japanese stuff so I want my mp statsaber to have a roughly same sized Deathsaurus. But like you said they are coming out with a star saber of their own and maybe they are doing their own idw style now but time will tell.
2019 is going to be a difficult year for deciding who to buy¬ buy. I'm all in for the StarSaber fromPX, this is a skip cause I want SS, Ironhide/Rachet FOC/OX, Maketoys CD line, Remaster everything, wait2see if the KFC Junkions release.? But this guy is magnificently done, color me impressed PX
Viktor Von Schweden the scale both masterforce and victory is all over the place to me. Godbomber prime is also the size of a combiner. I don’t think we will ever get a real mp scaled one
Yeah, rereading mtmte, Deathsaurus is taller than tarn, but not by too terribly much. I know they are remolding this for chug starsaber, and I wonder if they made this guy so big because of starsaber who towers over the other idw bots.
Scale. It's been a while since I last watched Victory but my recollection agrees - a G1 MP should be bigger to stand the same height as Star Saber (and should probably have the second breastmaster). In IDW, I think of Prime, Megatron, Tarn, etc... as all the same weight class so he'd be the right size for an IDW MP. For me, that raises the question 'is it actually MMC Tarn that is the wrong size?'. Although I agree that MMC Reformatted is a CHUG styled line, I've always thought of it as MP scale. Characters like Rodimus and Drift would be deluxe scale for CHUG whereas I believe their MMC incarnations stand at about MP car height? Similarly, if Hasbro ever did a CHUG Tarn, I'd expect a leader class figure which aren't much shorter than MP10 - isn't this bigger than MMC Kultur? (even before needing to bump Tarn up a bit from leader class if he were to be in MP scale) I guess you always say 'scale is in the eye of the beholder' but I could see people start to view some of their MMC's as placeholders if MPs started to come out... This figure is not an important enough character to get me too excited but I have always wanted to get into Planet X stuff if they ever made non-WFC stuff so I'm excited for the company's future releases. I think, given that I don't recall him ever transforming in IDW, they had the flexibility in design to have more interesting engineering (something I'd normally rate them highly for) - particularly in the legs that look like old technology and don't capture the cool anime proportions of the IDW art - reminds me, design-wise, of the, admittedly interesting enough, Unique Toys Terrorcons.
Yeah since he is Star Saber's nemesis they should be the same size, however if IDW has him know that may not matter. P.S...just role with it with the gift receiving, it is a sign of how much you are held in such high estimed. Just look out for teh joke presents.
Yeah Bobby, this thing is def not G1 MP, hes actually supposed to be a head taller than Starsaber, so this will not work with anything other than other planet x figs it seems.
So the MMC Dzef Continuoum...? Should be the Geeewwuuunnn offering, to be honest, I have ZERO planet x figs, this looks nice but since MMC is offering a G1 MP look, that will be the one I go with, this one does look awesome though. I just cant tell where this falls in line at.....
I am actually watching victory for the first time. He should be the size of star saber so he is to small for mp. Although scale for the Japanese shows are all over the place. For example star saber is the size of some combiners which the mp is not
G1 MP he’s too small, plain and simple. Deathsaurus is meant to be about the same size as starsaber, maybe a tad taller, and well, MP starsaber is a big fella. IDW MP however, well he looks pretty close. I personally like to look at him as a game version of deathsaurus inspired by IDW but that’s just me.
IDW got his scale wrong he is the size of Star saber so he should be alot bigger than tarn or Megatron he is almost the size of a combiner in the cartoon

Hand model Bobby. Another good brother hooking you up. Good people.
This is an awesome figure 😀
Looks great, can't wait to get mine and it seems promising for their Starsaber too.

I like seeing someone else in this IDW space,(especially with this level of quality) Even if the scale is its own thing. I don't have a lot of experience with IDW but i really like the aesthetic.
I think he looks friggin' awesome. I don't even much like IDW Deathsaurus, but I do like kickass robots that turn into dragons.
Looks Great, but I gave in to the Dark Side a long time ago. MMC has got me.
It is a different direction that PX is going, whereas how we are familiar with their FOC aesthetic. But for them to go the IDW route, is really different to see from them.
Awesome review as always. TBH I prefer MMC for bot mode but this is the better one for beast mode. Cheers
I wish the Cybertronian letters could have been painted(swivel here;)
Great review. Will you do a verse video with the new Deathsaurus figures from Mastermind creations?
No, I don’t compare different scales
@@MythsAndHeroes got you. Thanks for all your great reviews. Your a good man keep up the amazing work. looking forward to your next video.

Hi Bobby! Deathsaurus should be bigger than Star Saber, but about the same or slightly smaller than Victory Saber (Star Saber + Victory Leo combined).
I think Deathsaurus should be bigger since he actually was the same size as Star Saber. While at the same time I'm aware that this Isn't meant to be G1 Deathsaurus but instead IDW.
Mann! He looks fantastic. I just wish I knew who he was?
Decepticon leader from the Japanese series Victory, who took over from Overlord after the Masterforce series.
@@paulgraham4567 wow! That's sick! Thank you for that info.:)

In g1 Deszaras is as big, if not slightly taller than a combiner like bruticus or devastator.
Viktor Von Schweden the scale both masterforce and victory is all over the place to me. Godbomber prime is also the size of a combiner. I don’t think we will ever get a real mp scaled one

In a scale of his own.

Where is his super ultra mega cannon and his mace? he's not complete without them.
Comes in the G1 kit since this release isn't meant to represent G1 Deathsaurus.

I am actually watching victory for the first time. He should be the size of star saber so he is to small for mp. Although scale for the Japanese shows are all over the place. For example star saber is the size of some combiners which the mp is not
Aaron Mauer yea it’s definitely meant to be idw and not g1

Mp plastic quality is subpar compared to companies like maketoys and fp so saying this is mp plastic quality thats not really impressive.
IDW got his scale wrong he is the size of Star saber so he should be alot bigger than tarn or Megatron he is almost the size of a combiner in the cartoon
