always liked dx9 figures. they were right for the price point but their omega supreme is the best figure they ever made. toon accuracy and it's sturdy. solid as a brick. it is way better than the fans toys for fraction of the cost and still one of my favorite figures today
Good morning Mike, a very happy and blessed friday to you!!! I bought the DX9 Gabriel over the Fanstoys Omega Supreme Version because of their better hips engineering and better toon accuracy. Also it was like $200 cheaper...
It just occurred to me, whats the scaling gonna be? Thieir stunticons were way bigger than the Takara bots. Which is partly why I went with X-transbots.
Video idea, I trust your opinion and use it for collecting MP scale and would like the best versions for the 1984 & 1985 bots. I’ve been looking through your old videos and have been using it as a reference since you compare different companies versions and your taste in Transformers matches my own. I’m glad this DX9 Sideswipe will eventually be coming out since both the MP-12 and the OTS-14 have their issues in my opinion. I’ve got my fingers crossed for the perfect version 🤞
I thought DX9 was the top of the line when it came to third party MP, not only in material quality and appearance, but also engineering of their figures and I was surprised when they vanished suddenly. As I recall, FansToys dropped the price of their Omega Supreme by a huge amount in order to compete against DX9's version and that is the power of competition. I really hope that they're going to do MP figures again, and hopefully more combiners.
Man, that Sideswpe and Prowl are tempting in color.... But yeah, I'd be very glad if they could make a go of it being one of the more affordable 3rd party companies.
Both looks great, the constant question is , if soon xtb or ft comes with updated version, is it worth picking it up and losing money on the long run? Maybe with xtb would keep my dx9... Not sure for ft though 😅
Thanks for Showcasing DX9 Mike...I for one agree with you that DX9 Mightron is the 2nd best MP Megs. DX9 is Underrated for sure with their OS, Menasour, and PG. I really hope DX9 is back and their new MP cars are the same size as their Stunticons, Win Win in my book.
DX9 were part of the pioneering generation of 3P MP scale stuff and they have a long way to go if they want to get back in the MP arena of today. This is a step in the right direction but still second fiddle to FT, XTB, and MMC, probably even MT as well. I have the one and only figure I would ever get from them, being Gabriel, the first reissue back in 2020 for that killer price was probably the best deal ever for anything that size. They should go the MMC/FH route and add their own twist to their designs and be more fun with it. The G1 show design arena has too stiff of competition that from what I have seen so far they won't hold up in.
Great points but Sideswipe and Prowl are perfect figures to tackle since nobody else is and there is literally no competition for them from this decade
FWIW - I want a legends scale misfire (or any scale, really), and it looks like DX9 might be the company to do it since they did headmasters.... I hope whatever lambos they make match the scale of the MP lambos (esp. in car mode).
Those arms on Prowl look pretty limited. That's stopping me from considering a preorder until the reviews are in. One of these companies really needs to reveal a G1 Wheeljack soon as the current TT masterpiece really shows its age.

That Omega is right on and they have made several others that still hold up today
I’d like to see them do another combiner, their Menasor is solid and fun to mess with and looks great with the zeta bots
Yeah someone needs to do a MP Computron similar to the like toys upgraded Computron imo
DX9 > Fanstoys! 👍🏾 Welcome back! Lets get back to YOUR MPs and not tooners! Gerwalt is amazing!!!!
Will be fun to see how these first 2 mps turn out! I bet they are testing the legends and MP markets to see which is most viable for them in 2024

Yep that decision seemed like a no brainer and if DX9 never made one Fanstoys would have been $100+ more expensive at that
It just occurred to me, whats the scaling gonna be? Thieir stunticons were way bigger than the Takara bots. Which is partly why I went with X-transbots.
Great point but Fanstoys Stunticons are around Dx9 size and their carbots are similar to Takara, I would not be upset with taller carbots at all
@@tydiriumhanger1320 nope, not at all. That Sideswipe looks better and better the more I look at him. I think I'm gonna put the preorder in.

The Takara Prowl masterpiece + still looks great. I’ll definitely look into the new Sideswipe,

I sure am rooting for them and plan to review both of their carbots
Don't forget to add TH on the support your favorite reviewer box at Show Z.
That Prowl is dope💪💪
He does look great after they fixed the chest

I would be ok with taller carbots and that would feel more correct than Takara. If they went bigger and redid all the carbots not a bad decision
Beyond excited for sideswipe. Is this the year of the car bots?
I’m excited about sideswipe. If it looks great really hoping for sunstreaker

They can go bigger in bot mode and still have similar alt modes as the others

I agree. I’m not a fan of the toes either… needs a little more foot. But the bot is cleaner looking
It will be interesting to see how these turn out but I have high hopes. It does seem odd nobody has tackled Wheeljack and seems logical for DX9
The 'boobtube' chest was the only thing I didn't like about Takara's Sideswipe, so I will likely get the DX9.
Now that you point it out the new chest looks way better than Takara
I don't think DX9 will depart from making TF figures considering that it is their most profitable line.
DX9 Sideswipe has scooter sized wheels . WTF is up with those thin bastards ??
Looking good otherwise .
I bet they look better in person plus these are super early prototypes
