Exactly the same as the 2015 model yet $100 more. Fans toys are now massively overcharging and people are stupid enough to pay it.
Definitely a higher price, I would argue some of it is pandemic related but not $100 worth for sure
@@TMReviews I know, they're near enough the same price as the mp 52 seekers and you can't compare. The insecticons are cool but small and simple. Should be 150 for the set. All of their stuff has been overpriced for a few years now.
Nice. Thanks. great review as always. Hope my FTs bugs arrive soon.
Thanks for watching
Oooooh. He is really nice. I wish Hasbro would accept and acknowledge FT as a worthy manufacturer and offer them materiel and logistic support so more people can afford and obtain these excellent items. Scarcity increases the prestige of owning these expensive items, but overall, I would rather if more people could realistically obtain them and appreciate them.
That would be nice
I could never figure out why they didn't try to headhunt FT's designers at the very least. What would be absurd and hilarious tho? If HasTak just ripped off all of FT's designs and put them out as official MP's lol. We'll have come full circle!
Don’t take this as gospel but the impression I’ve gotten from talking to people who buy directly from retailers in China is that FT and Takara are much more accommodating of each other than people think.
The Robot Paradise example is a potential affirmation of this.
The reason being of course, these third party companies are ripping off their IP.... ;)
Glad I got these years ago. FT made a big name for themselves. They are now the standard for mp stuff.
Yup
Great review 🌟😎
Thanks bro
Excelente video muchas Gracias ☺️
De nada
Awesome review mate!!
I'll definitely concede that this has the more authentic G1 looking alt mode when compared to the MMC one, but I kind of prefer the MMC one's shape a bit more... It just seems a little more insect-y with the narrower body.
I haven't handled MMC, need to get a copy eventually
@@TMReviews Caution: The chromed yellow plastic on certain batches of MMC insecticons are suuuuper brittle. I've had 4 breakages on my set. Watch kickback's wings (also missing rivet on my copy), bombshell's back of the knees, & scrapnel's insect legs. I'm always careful with my stuff cause, man, who can afford to replace it lol. That said... 4 fails in a set just gutted me cause they're actually really awesome otherwise. Only issues I've ever had with MMC too.
You just took all the wind out of my sails on MMC bugs
@@TMReviews Just something to take into account. There's other people who haven't had any issues. If I were to buy them again, I'd wait for a new re-release that might've fixed CQ problems.
awesome! good showing...:)
Thanks
Another good video. Are you going to be looking at anymore mainline stuff? or is MP 3P is where you want your channel to go?
I will look at all transformers, mainline is still in, legends is probably not in unless it's sent to me
A first-rate review of Shrapnel and his cool accessories!
I replaced the bug legs with the toy legs, less kibble.
Nice
Nice review to a cool figure. I’m waiting for mine to arrive soon and can’t wait to get my hands on it. Im really happy FT decided to reissue the bugs and dinobots for collectors that missed them the first round. Just wishing they made more quantities cause they are still difficult to get. Thx again TM for the review. 👍🏼
Thanks for watching, ya the quantities are still limited and makes the prices high unfortunately
Nice
Cool figure, but the price on these insecticons is insane. Fans toys should make a pack that you buy with all the figures, at the moment the price is driving me away
This was part of a pack where you buy all three...
@@TMReviews ohhhhhhhh uhhh, i thought you had to buy each individual figure, shouldve done more research
They sold the set for 430 for all three, still expensive tho
@@TMReviews Oh thats expensive
Awesome.....these bugs are allowed in the house!
Lol
Bug legs aren't toon accurate though. Nice review
If you are up for it, I really hope that you do a video specifically aimed at the Insecticon spare legs swap. I did both of mine and it wasn’t too bad, but it took flipping through a number of videos because I didn’t want to convert them to bug mode, and I’m still very curious how people who have the alternate legs on Mercenary think his back should be transformed to minimize the mess.
OTHER BIG DIFFERENCE - PRICE as in EYE GOUGING - Bad Cube for the WIN imo. Nice review though & appreciated.
The PRICE GOUGING Continues in Fans Toys TESLA 2.0.
Ya the price is tough compared to others
Quick question have you ever ordered from TF-Express? If so are they legit?
I have not
@@TMReviews Thanks for the quick reply. I was able to pre-order Tesla 2.0 it was the only place I could find. Time will tell & fingers crossed.
I have heard others order with success from there, as long as it is a ful price preorder and not a deposit I would trust it
