I was just thinking we haven't seen any 3rd party stuff in awhile. It's always nice to mix it up. Legends scale figures definitely need more love in this channel.
0:13 had me dying I love the ah- hahahaul the way up. It's what I've wanted since the Legacy Shockwave review. Also hotrod shoulder can be used to make figures look more menacing. it's literally the only thing it does better than normal shoulders. 6:37 if anything, I'd give him blast effects or any of the abilities he had in Devastation if I'm giving him a lot of accessories. 10:18 IDW related review coming up?
I stand bye them being a Scam. Yeah you can make them have arched shoulders with hotrod shouldrs. Man I don't remember him really having any abilities in that. Just like a laser and a clone. And Yes, an IDW Related thing.
Thank you for wishing me a happy birthday. And I really enjoyed the video I love watching newage videos. I don't have any figures but I love the craftsmanship that was put into the figures.
4:30 OH GODDAMMIT, YOU CAN'T JUST DO THAT TO US, C'MON MAN [Really though, that caught me so off guard it took me a second to recognise the call-back :)]
Tiny idea popped up in the back of my head- could you try like a mini series where every episode you find a bunch of figures that have similar colors or focal points? For example you could do an episode on purple decepticons (tarn, shockwave, possibly soundwave, reflector, galvatron etc) or just other similar bots.
@@PerspectiveEnd to review less interesting figures that wouldn’t usually get a review kinda like the repaints palooza and so you can add another stepping stone for (Possibly) iconic series’sin the future. Like Thew’s Monthly Megatron, or Diamondbolt’s (hopefully) Anual transformers video. Just to add more options on videos to keep things fresh for both you and the audience.
Could be like a Monthly thing with some Uninteresting figures by themselves, or ones you didnt have time to get. Although you may not have many figures of similar colors to review that havent gotten covered yet, so it could probaly be every 1-3 months
That backpack is honestly fine looking to me. It's not disgustingly big and gappy to be an eyesore, and the fact that this guy requires no extra kibble to make him look good is a great positive unlike the Masterpiece.
The only Shockwave I have ever owned was the G1 figure when I was a kid. I have always thought it was a standout of the entire line in a good way. More importantly, I just wanted to say thank you.
I bought the regular colour version of this Shockwave as a gift for one of my best friend's birthday. Needless to say, he loved it. Even now he praises the thing's engineering and transformation.
I know it’s a lot to ask but could you do the Legacy Wreck and Rule Springer? My birthday is on the 23thrd and I just want to know if I should get it or not? Thanks
Sorry to say I never picked that one up my self. I can tell you I did do a review on the normal colors one, I don't think the Wreck and Rule one has as nice colors.
@@PerspectiveEnd oh, yeah I did. The old one was the old version of my selfmoc and since that changed, my icon changed too. I also wanted kind of a unified icon for all of my socials so that came in handy too
As a Legends/Legion and Core enthusiast, I think Newage is cool in my book since what I like about it is they added my favorite Decepticon that I use to have the original toy of but in 2007 recolors from the Cybertron/Unicron Trilogy/Universe (*Classics 2.0) line when I was a kid named Hardtop :D
@@PerspectiveEnd Well, when I had the Universe 2-Pack of him and Clocker? his vehicle mode was awesome since it kinda reminded me of 2007 movie Landmine lol.
I just got their optimus prime a couple days ago and it goes hard. It is just a little more complex than the size really allows, so it may feel somewhat finnicky and a good few joints are frighteningly small, but i can definitely see why there is no negative reviews of the thing.
You know what would be cool to have with Shockwaves, a background diorama that references the iconic "ALL ARE DEAD" line from one of the old Marvel comic prints
the box art for the comic version is fun. i personally prefer the proportions and sculpting of the magic square figures, but this is for sure 2nd best for me .
We may have some hope for ROTB Wheeljack. According to leaks, Studio Series ROTB Wheeljack (initially intended for next wave) was replaced by repacks of the Airazor. In addition, Wheeljack is missing from the promotional material.
This guy is undeniably a good figure, I just can’t get into high end legends stuff. I have the Iron Factory Arcee from, like, a million years ago and I love her to bits. Even still, I can’t get over the fact that I paid more for her than a Voyager at the time and that she was considered the “cheap option.” Man, I wish you could still get Iron Factory stuff on the cheap…
I mean, the lightpiping clearly was there on the regular version and, sure, they could've painted the yellow over, but it makes sense why is the back of the head in that colour, since the parts were same.
Masterpiece: let’s make it 890 dollars with 20 one off reference accessory’s and no waste swivel New age: let’s make them 90$ (there 90$ right?) and make them itty bitty with great articulation and perfect transformering
Fantastic review Perspective. NewAge makes good stuff. Your whole issue with Show Z is one i've had myself with literally the first figure I ordered from them: APC Toys' prime Arcee. I even contacted USPS, but yeah i was lost in transit, Show Z wasno help, so I did what you did
Oh I just realized something, you could probably put scrap hooks tire on the front of the new scourage’s gun arm, it would look incredibly small but kinda like rhinox’s gun.
@@PerspectiveEnd studio series scourage has a cannon arm that’s blast effect compatible. So you could probably put scrap hooks tire on it to make a gun that looks like rhinox’s guns.
When I got Dragon Megatron in my latest big haul, I bought it used from the Amazon Warehouse so it was cheaper. Haven't had any issues before but this time when I opened up the box, there was a Scrapper and other random shit in the box including some purple plastif fern, a insert for another legacy figure and Legacy tarantulus's instructions. Luckly amazon is great for refunds and returns and same day was able to refund this. Luckly my SS Devastator that came from the same place wasn't like that and I got for only $250 AUD, pretty much half price for an item that was brand new but in a damaged box. All the figures in the set were great but combining the thing is hell to do.
Update on my tm2 megatron, hasbro I sent a email to them and they said they don't have him in stock. So I'm going to get a "figure of equal value" Hopefully I'll get something I don't already own. So I'm going to see if I can glue the part back on tm2 megatron
Have you seen the Magic Square Shockwave? Not fully painted but it still looks pretty good, and he's a bit beefier. The gun mode is a lot more accurate.
I have both - the Newage looks better in robot mode but the Magic Square has the better gun mode. I have the Zeta Bruticus and have him hold the Newage because it fits in his hand better (smaller handle) even though I prefer the MS gun mode.
I wouldn't say it's bad. It's just not a Positive for just being there. It can unbalance the figure, it can wear out the tightness on the joints, the weight it grants is fake, 99% of the figure could be the most brittle cheap plastic possible, but it would still feel heavy. It's just not a positive like everyone acts. And I'm not going to be talking about the reveals this week at least.
Unrelated but I finally got er skylynx in the mail, and you are right, he is glorious. My only problem with him is that his tail falls of if I just look at it, and the connection between the two half's is really annoying. But now I'm even more excited for motermaster and rodimus because the other two commanders are great. Also I just got my learners permit for driving... I wanted to tell someone but I have no friends so now you have to hear it lol.
I don't have quite those troubles with the tail, but yes, same between the two halves. Hey congratulations on your learner's permit. Driving scared the CRAP out of me when I first got mine.
I know what you mean about Show Z, I’ve had a DNA Designs kit for SS DOTM Prime on order for a month and a half now and it hasn’t updated since I payed for it.
Uhhhh so what’s the best way to contact Show Z? Because it seems the same thing that happened to you with this guy happened to me, I checked the kit and it says sold out.
holy shit, didn't thought it would be this one not really into NewAge, I tend to prefer Magic Square in Legends scale, but I can't deny this figure is glorious, the backpack may be a bit too short and small, but it's not like it ruins the figure definitely need him for my Shockwaves collection
Here’s my question who is a Transformers character you expected to be in legacy but hasn’t gotten a toy yet for me in no particular order IDW whirl beast wars silverbolt and g1 gears
I’ve wanted to get into legends to scale with masterpiece combiners and titans(like toys metroplex). I think new age would be the route to go as they seem to be the most reputable company.
I still believe that Diecast has its uses, but your sentiment still absolutely rings true. When used smartly, it adjusts a figure's center of weight to balance a figure in spite of something like an intrusive backpack or a topheavy design. However, Diecast simply for the sake of having it is absolutely a bad use of the stuff. It's a tool, and like any tool, it needs to be used correctly to get the best use out of it. You don't use a hammer to pound in a screw, and you don't use Diecast to compensate for Shite plastic.
@@PerspectiveEnd Diecast is not an intrinsically good thing. it must be used smartly in order to get the most good out of it. Zeta Toys Superitron fails to do this because it's using the Diecast to increase the weight and price of the figures, not compensate for its numerous structural flaws or weight issues that it probably wouldn't have without the Diecast. I'm not totally against Diecast, it just needs to be used in a way that justifies its existence, like using metal hips to reinforce the waist of a robot who ends up the torso of a Combiner for example. or metal knees on a figure that has a lot of mass in the legs due to an armor-up gimmick....but these examples would only make sense on Masterpiece-Scale figures, since they tend to be the ones dense enough to justify such design considerations.
Here in case you don’t see my reply on chattabread’s comment about a series where you cover a few figures that look similar in color, body type, etc : to review less interesting figures that wouldn’t usually get a review kinda like the repaints palooza and so you can add another stepping stone for (Possibly) iconic series’s in the future. Like Thew’s Monthly Megatron, or Diamondbolt’s (hopefully) Anual transformers video. Just to add more options on videos to keep things fresh for both you and the audience
I got a story about these scams: 1. There’s a different variety of where they act like commenters. But really they aren’t 2. I got one lot these from a that toy guy video just today 3. RUclips won’t do anything about them
I know it’s not for everyone, but these NewAge models killed my desire to collect anything else. They scratch the itch for each character, and as you often reference, they can be the definitive version so someone’s search can end. I watched your Masterpiece Jetfire review, and then I looked at my own NewAge Jetfire, and I know I’m all set :-). Coincidentally, my NewAge Shockwave just arrived 2 days ago 😊. Anyway, thanks as always for the content. I love your channel ❤.
I'm happy to bring you the content, and proud you like it so much. Personally I'm more in love with the MP than the NewAge in this circumstance. Have you ever given MS a try.
@@PerspectiveEnd thank you! I have not tried MagicSquare. I was put off by the criticisms of the plastic quality in many RUclips reviews- you were one of them 😊. The gummy nature of it and lack of paint make them look cheaper, although their molds might be a tad more show-accurate. Since the NewAge hit the spot, I’m sticking with them for scale.
I will now be pointing out Perspective End videos (in his current upload schedule) until I have SS ROTB Scourge. Currently, there's 4 videos until I have SS ROTB Scourge.
Newage is a good legends company out of everything I’ve gotten including the devastator it’s all solid no bad qc and the metallic stuff make brain go brrrr. People complain it’s expensive but it’s high quality materials going into a well sculpted solid figure the budget is well used
Yeah I don't know what people expect. They are a 3P company they have to charge more to make it worth their time just at a base level. And then they are putting in way more quality than hasbro does. Like Double the quality, at least, then lower the volume, and 50 becomes really reasonable.
Ok I just wanted to ask. Perspective, have you seen the gloriousness that is EarthSpark yet? I would ask if you've seen the new leaks/reveals that have popped up in the the last few days, but I know you're probably getting blasted by those questions already, and I didn't want to add onto that immense pile, and decided to ask you something you probably haven't gotten as much. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope you have a good day!
I watched the first 4 episodes, but haven't had time to go all the way through it, I will say that what was there really impressed me. Yeah very few have asked me my thoughts on ES. And yes plenty of people asked me if I saw the reveals. I will cover them in hopefully like 2 weeks.
@@PerspectiveEnd Trust me, it gets better, especially in part 2. Shit gets crazy. Not gonna spoil anything here because I'm not a scumbag, but I will say they take more than a few pages out of IDW 1.0's playbook in certain ways.

I was not expecting a callback to the siege Shockwave video but I sure did enjoy that
I would be a Fool to not make the callback.
Last year I fell into the Newage rabbit hole. And the shockwave figure is one of my favorites
I can see why that rabbit hole is so tempting.
I’ve been hoping you’d cover more NewAge figures! They’re quickly becoming a favorite corner of the collecting space for me
Yeah a lot of people are really into their stuff, and the to be fair deserve their reputation.
4:30
OH GODDAMMIT, YOU CAN'T JUST DO THAT TO US, C'MON MAN

Dude I get you on the showzstore thing. I ordered a zeta superion all for them to tell me one month later that they don't ship to puerto Rico 😭
Oh man, that sucks. So sorry to hear that, it's so weird that they won't do something like that.
I have missed being online when your videos go live. Glad to be back!

was that a seige shockwave review reference?!?!?!
great review as always!

As a Legends/Legion and Core enthusiast, I think Newage is cool in my book since what I like about it is they added my favorite Decepticon that I use to have the original toy of but in 2007 recolors from the Cybertron/Unicron Trilogy/Universe (*Classics 2.0) line when I was a kid named Hardtop :D
What draws you to Evil Beach Comber?
@@PerspectiveEnd Well, when I had the Universe 2-Pack of him and Clocker? his vehicle mode was awesome since it kinda reminded me of 2007 movie Landmine lol.
took me a year to realize why you did that pause on the arm going up
Loved the arms go AAAAH reference lol
I knew I had to do it.
The Siege Cliffjumper abuse never ends
As long as I draw breath it never will.

Jeez. Cliffjumper can't catch a break.
No ._.
Micro-wave 🦪🦪🦪🦪🦪
That's a great name for him.
You know what would be cool to have with Shockwaves, a background diorama that references the iconic "ALL ARE DEAD" line from one of the old Marvel comic prints
i love that call back: 4:29
I knew people would.
My basis for if a Shockwave figure is good or not is if it can pull off the "ARE ALL DEAD" pose.
That's not a really hard pose to get into.
you'd be surprised with how few of them manage it, at least out of the ones I own
From now on, whenever you review a shockwave figure, you must do the “shoulders go al-“
Son I've been living that life already.
This looks AWESOME! Shockwave is my favorite Decepticon! Outstanding for a legends size. But the best was shoulders go UUUUUU UP!
I knew I had to do the call back when I started this script.
the box art for the comic version is fun. i personally prefer the proportions and sculpting of the magic square figures, but this is for sure 2nd best for me .
I typically Favor Magic Square my self.
Pure perfection
The video or the figure?
We may have some hope for ROTB Wheeljack. According to leaks, Studio Series ROTB Wheeljack (initially intended for next wave) was replaced by repacks of the Airazor. In addition, Wheeljack is missing from the promotional material.
Yeah I heard, hopefully it's true.
thanks for letting me know and perspective mybe next time you do a roast maybe you could do season 1 beast wars
The next roast will be an interesting one, but the Beast Wars roast is always available to be voted on when the next one comes out.
Very important question.... does new age have a grey coronation starscream? I need a dead starscream.
They have this one, which is kind of what you are asking for.
showzstore.com/newage-h13d-hodur-starscream_p2093.html

The deepest of Cuts.
This guy is undeniably a good figure, I just can’t get into high end legends stuff. I have the Iron Factory Arcee from, like, a million years ago and I love her to bits. Even still, I can’t get over the fact that I paid more for her than a Voyager at the time and that she was considered the “cheap option.” Man, I wish you could still get Iron Factory stuff on the cheap…

" a design so good that not even Michael bay could f***k it up but oh boy did he try"-jobby 20**

I see what you did with that shoulder segment, nice callback. It would be cool if you review more Legends stuff
I had to do the call back I just had too. And I'd like to, but It just comes down to what I have time for.
I mean, the lightpiping clearly was there on the regular version and, sure, they could've painted the yellow over, but it makes sense why is the back of the head in that colour, since the parts were same.
Yeah but like what I mean is they could have used the paint on his butt to pain the back of his head.
I know I’m late to the party but 6:16 had me dying

RETURN OF THE "SHOULDERS GO U-" YESSSS!!!!!!

Masterpiece: let’s make it 890 dollars with 20 one off reference accessory’s and no waste swivel
New age: let’s make them 90$ (there 90$ right?) and make them itty bitty with great articulation and perfect transformering
It's actually 50 USD.
Newage VS Magic Square, which is better?
Magic Square is better at MP Scale.
New age is better at the Legends game.
Fantastic review Perspective. NewAge makes good stuff. Your whole issue with Show Z is one i've had myself with literally the first figure I ordered from them: APC Toys' prime Arcee. I even contacted USPS, but yeah i was lost in transit, Show Z wasno help, so I did what you did
The first figure I ever ordered from them was ToyWorld Constructor.
It took them 6 months to get it to me.
I usually don’t watch the 3rd-party reviews, but I am usually a viewer on Wednesdays.
Oh yeah. Why are you usually not interested in those?
@@PerspectiveEnd I think that the official ones are better for some reason. Maybe it is because they are officially licensed products.
Oh I just realized something, you could probably put scrap hooks tire on the front of the new scourage’s gun arm, it would look incredibly small but kinda like rhinox’s gun.
I am not sure what you are getting at.
@@PerspectiveEnd studio series scourage has a cannon arm that’s blast effect compatible. So you could probably put scrap hooks tire on it to make a gun that looks like rhinox’s guns.

Please review more Newage figures, I have love your enthusiasm for these absolutely great companies
I would but my audience isn't too interested in them.
@@PerspectiveEnd Oh, on the bright side, I'm getting Newage Devastator for my Birthday, hopefully.
Die cast is like owning a sport car, yeah it’s cool and all, but is expensive for the sake of being expensive

@@PerspectiveEnd No, there was the SS Scrapper figure as well as some fake purle fern looking thing.
There's something inherently cute about a mini Shockwave, maybe it's because of his face.
Maybe it's just so much heartless evil crammed into such a small package.
@@PerspectiveEnd Maybe
I prefer the Shockwave using the jazz mold because it fits him better imo
4:30 Gotta love the fake cutaway, reminds me of another Shockwave review...
Really does it? Huh... I never would have guessed.

Amazon has him or at least they did a week ago, can't you get your money back? Also just JESUS hasbro, get your shit in order.
There actually is die cast on the sides of his legs, or at least the toy deco one I have does.
I think you might be right, but I can't tell. They aren't super cold compared to the rest of the figure.
@@PerspectiveEnd they tend to warm up pretty fast when handling the figure, took me a while to notice. Newage usually puts die cast in their figures
I know what I have to do if I don’t know if I have the strength to do it
And what is that?
Studio series announced the 2010 WFC figures.
I have seen this yes.
4:29 real homies understand the random cut here
Indeed they do.
Have you seen the Magic Square Shockwave? Not fully painted but it still looks pretty good, and he's a bit beefier. The gun mode is a lot more accurate.

holy shit, didn't thought it would be this one
not really into NewAge, I tend to prefer Magic Square in Legends scale, but I can't deny this figure is glorious, the backpack may be a bit too short and small, but it's not like it ruins the figure
definitely need him for my Shockwaves collection
You could get both. Newage in comic colors or galactic man colors, magic square for regular colors. :)
I tend to be the oposite, magic squares plastic always feels a bit cheap to me which impacts a lot of their figures.
@@lavienne680 well true, but I will probably get them both in regular colours
@@Roboshi2007 if it doesn't break like Second Chance Military Commander - I could care less
Sorry it took so long.
I find Newage much better when they work at MP scale.
Here’s my question who is a Transformers character you expected to be in legacy but hasn’t gotten a toy yet for me in no particular order IDW whirl beast wars silverbolt and g1 gears
Bumblebee, Sentinel Prime (Animated), Lugnut, and Crosshairs (AoE)
I didn't expect anything from IDW yet, but I can say that I think we probably should have seen a Tidalwave by now.
Also Armada Red Alert.
I’ve wanted to get into legends to scale with masterpiece combiners and titans(like toys metroplex). I think new age would be the route to go as they seem to be the most reputable company.
newage and iron factory.
Yeah, I'd say that Newage have the best Reputation in the space.
I still believe that Diecast has its uses, but your sentiment still absolutely rings true. When used smartly, it adjusts a figure's center of weight to balance a figure in spite of something like an intrusive backpack or a topheavy design. However, Diecast simply for the sake of having it is absolutely a bad use of the stuff. It's a tool, and like any tool, it needs to be used correctly to get the best use out of it. You don't use a hammer to pound in a screw, and you don't use Diecast to compensate for Shite plastic.
I suppose that's a great way to look at it.
Yes it is a tool, but it is not a positive quality in material format.
@@PerspectiveEnd Diecast is not an intrinsically good thing. it must be used smartly in order to get the most good out of it. Zeta Toys Superitron fails to do this because it's using the Diecast to increase the weight and price of the figures, not compensate for its numerous structural flaws or weight issues that it probably wouldn't have without the Diecast.
I'm not totally against Diecast, it just needs to be used in a way that justifies its existence, like using metal hips to reinforce the waist of a robot who ends up the torso of a Combiner for example. or metal knees on a figure that has a lot of mass in the legs due to an armor-up gimmick....but these examples would only make sense on Masterpiece-Scale figures, since they tend to be the ones dense enough to justify such design considerations.
Toyworld SCVNGR when?
Uhhh... Never?
I kid I kid. Eventually. I just need to find time for it.
New age version of the seekers are really good
I have one, it's pretty good yeah.
Fuckkkk, I need this lad. I’m a sucker for Shockwaves. Do they have one in the Radioshack colors?
They do have a black one yes.
A company called Trojan Horse put out a figure I think you'd be interested in.
Th-01 Cyclone, AKA Helicopter-Waspinator.
Boyo, I have had that thing on Preorder for literal YEARS at this point.
I agree shipping takes way too long sometimes
Shipping from them can be especially brutal.
I’ve been seeing bb movie Shockwave too often that I’m for some reason confused why his thighs are not *t h i c c*
Sorry
He is a VERY thicc boy in that movie.
Here in case you don’t see my reply on chattabread’s comment about a series where you cover a few figures that look similar in color, body type, etc :
to review less interesting figures that wouldn’t usually get a review kinda like the repaints palooza and so you can add another stepping stone for (Possibly) iconic series’s in the future. Like Thew’s Monthly Megatron, or Diamondbolt’s (hopefully) Anual transformers video. Just to add more options on videos to keep things fresh for both you and the audience
So basically just an excuse to do a bunch of Rapid fire reviews to work through my catalogue a bit.
As always you tell us how high the arms go
They Go AH! We all know this.
endearing
Just like your Sludge.
I got a story about these scams:
1. There’s a different variety of where they act like commenters. But really they aren’t
2. I got one lot these from a that toy guy video just today
3. RUclips won’t do anything about them
I don't know if youtube can do anything about them.
They take like 2 minutes to set up, and then they message about 1000 people in 5 seconds.
Yeah you’re right
No one does Legends scale the way Newage does on the G1 stuff. They paint their figures and their QC is great for the most part.
Yeah, I like Magic Square, but they are FAR better as an MP company than a Legends company.
Newage seems to Dominate Legends scale.
The real question is, do the arms go AHHALLL the way up or just all the way up.
Well I think I answered that in the video.
Bbts has alot of legacy evolution wave 2 figs off preorder btw
They aren't even on Preorder they are in Stock!
2:17 you power down or something? 4:30, Thought I did for a second
No it's just a reference to the Old Arms go AH! version of the Siege Shockwave video.
I love shockwave. Especially the tfp oneeee
The TFP one was a pretty good representation of the character.
@@PerspectiveEnd indeed
I know it’s not for everyone, but these NewAge models killed my desire to collect anything else. They scratch the itch for each character, and as you often reference, they can be the definitive version so someone’s search can end. I watched your Masterpiece Jetfire review, and then I looked at my own NewAge Jetfire, and I know I’m all set :-). Coincidentally, my NewAge Shockwave just arrived 2 days ago 😊.
Anyway, thanks as always for the content. I love your channel ❤.
I'm happy to bring you the content, and proud you like it so much.
Personally I'm more in love with the MP than the NewAge in this circumstance.
Have you ever given MS a try.
@@PerspectiveEnd thank you! I have not tried MagicSquare. I was put off by the criticisms of the plastic quality in many RUclips reviews- you were one of them 😊. The gummy nature of it and lack of paint make them look cheaper, although their molds might be a tad more show-accurate. Since the NewAge hit the spot, I’m sticking with them for scale.
I will now be pointing out Perspective End videos (in his current upload schedule) until I have SS ROTB Scourge. Currently, there's 4 videos until I have SS ROTB Scourge.
Is it in shipping or something?
@@PerspectiveEnd no, but it starts shipping on the 20th, and I will have it on the 22nd.
A bit off topic but i was planning on getting the legacy knockout and was wondering if the RED figures head fits right
I don't know. The head doesn't want to come off my Legacy figure for me to find out.
@@PerspectiveEnd ok
Hey perspective, I have good news! The rise of the beast wheeljack, is getting a redesign.
I have heard this rumor I'm hoping this true.
Newage is a good legends company out of everything I’ve gotten including the devastator it’s all solid no bad qc and the metallic stuff make brain go brrrr.
People complain it’s expensive but it’s high quality materials going into a well sculpted solid figure the budget is well used
Yeah I don't know what people expect. They are a 3P company they have to charge more to make it worth their time just at a base level. And then they are putting in way more quality than hasbro does.
Like Double the quality, at least, then lower the volume, and 50 becomes really reasonable.
Great review. Cool figure. Hope ss 86 Shockwave in cartoon accurate colors become a truth.
I hope there's an 86 Shockwave. though I don't know if it will happen, he was BARELY in the movie, though to be fair he was more in it than Snarl.
@@PerspectiveEnd I also hope for voyager Astrotrain.
Ok I just wanted to ask. Perspective, have you seen the gloriousness that is EarthSpark yet? I would ask if you've seen the new leaks/reveals that have popped up in the the last few days, but I know you're probably getting blasted by those questions already, and I didn't want to add onto that immense pile, and decided to ask you something you probably haven't gotten as much. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope you have a good day!
I watched the first 4 episodes, but haven't had time to go all the way through it, I will say that what was there really impressed me.
Yeah very few have asked me my thoughts on ES.
And yes plenty of people asked me if I saw the reveals. I will cover them in hopefully like 2 weeks.
@@PerspectiveEnd Trust me, it gets better, especially in part 2. Shit gets crazy. Not gonna spoil anything here because I'm not a scumbag, but I will say they take more than a few pages out of IDW 1.0's playbook in certain ways.
