Awesome color scheme. Original reissue Sovereign was my first FT purchase. What’s a trip is after observing the quality and detail Of Fanstoys product, I realized how much better their products were compared to official and other third party. I started buying them up after that. Wish I could get my hands on a Lupus 😣
Awesome figure, so gorgeous. I don't even like the character that much. And I think the alt mode is rediculous! This figure is that beautiful to me. So nice.
@Ricky HotSpeed I completely trust you, I was refering to Galvatron's alt-mode in general. Wacky looking space cannon. It's the space cannon idea I'm not so into. Great figures both of them. thanks
In the animation, he had his arm at times as the cannon arms and at times he had those things that dx9 uses. Overall I prefer the skid things on the dx9 than the arms on ft but neither is particularly wrong and they are both right depending on the drawing you look at. Several ways to build a cat.
blue Sovereign is metallic blue with metallic flake. a lot more light shows on the details with chromed paint. the purple Sovereign is not metallic paint. it just has a metallic flake in it. i’m only keeping both Quietus colors cuz they’re both metallic. i’m having custom silver faces painted for Quietus, Sovereign, Koot, Jabber, Hoodlum 👍
I've had the original FT Galvatron since he was originally released and I won't be replacing him in my collection even if takara did release an official version. Yes because he is that good of a representation for Galvatron. Also when you compared him with MP44 Optimus & MP36 Megatron both Galvatron & Megatron are the same height
That may be true about height and Galvatron just has that high crest on his head that makes him look bigger. The first issue of this guy looks great also. Thanks
He's a great figure. I had the 1st version. My biggest complaint was how his cannon plugs into his arm. The connection always seemed flimsy and unsecure, at least on my copy. I do agree he is hands down the best Galvatron.
@@UnChannelDuVulpineX Right on. I think you'll be happy with him. I sold mine off awhile ago after I bought Big Cannon, but I'm a sucker for easy transformations. FT Galvatron is great but everytime I posed him on my shelf that damn cannon would be popped off the next time I looked at him lol. Mine was the 1st run so it may have been tweaked in later releases.
I really like to have a Galvatron in my collection. I think FansToys is the best one to date. My grip with this is the short/stout look of the alt mode and the gun handle/tail that is not one piece. I was waiting for Xtransbots version but I guess I will have to continue to wait and wait and wait. Dont't get me wrong, the robot mode for FansToys looks fantastic.
I bought open&play big cannon while this figure was still on preorder and it is fun to play with. Cheap and has simple transformation, don’t need to worry about paint chipping.
personally i was never sold on sovereign, i don´t like the alt mode and how he looks from the back in robot mode as well as his thin waist and his big hands. i prefer tyrant in both modes. especially tyrants lower legs look very nice from the back, he is overall cleaner looking and he has those round shapes overall that i associate more with galvatron. and i do like tyrants transformation :)
@Tydirium hanger- It’s obvious that this third party iteration of GALVATRON is vastly superior to any version by HASBRO or TAKARA. FansToys in my opinion makes the best cartoon accurate bots. But these HASBRO and TAKARA fanboys would turn their noses up at this figure simply because it’s not official. I know a dude like that, he’s absolute HASBRO. If it’s not official HASBRO product, he don’t want anything to do with it, even if it looks good, if it’s not by HASBRO, he’s unimpressed. What are your thoughts on HASBRO and TAKARA fanboys who hate on third party? I think they’re insane and grossly too loyal to a company not so loyal to its fan base.
I felt that way myself back in the early days of 3p. Back then 3p was not as great as they are now but it took me until 2017 to really appreciate what they had to offer. I bet your friends feel the same way I did. I also felt that I would never be able to sell old 3p because no one would want them and that was wrong. Thanks
Tydirium hanger no, this guy is HASBRO to his soul. I been collecting since 2016. Now I’m mostly official HASBRO/TAKARA, but I have a few third party figures in my collection from Wei Jang and Open and Play. I can’t afford FansToys figures but I appreciate them and can see their merit. HASBRO and TAKARA are never gonna give us if ever what we want, so why not support third party. LOL
I got both but I think ,with a little modification dx9 looks better .but fans toys is good also but feels clunky .I could point out more but no one reads this shit anyway😅

Wonder why Lupus was in this box? Maybe a reissue coming? Not sure! Thanks

I does shine in the robot mode! Thanks
@Ricky HotSpeed Yes the DX9 does have some good points! Thanks
That transformation is quite the workout! 😂
Still waiting on mine. Had to find a cheaper price than Show Z - and did 😀
Glad you found a deal! Thanks
Great job! $230.er.$240 is stupid price.
Kohn Futner yea so is $205, but that’s what I paid and did receive my item. 1st run was much cheaper. Had to sell an item so I only paid 138 really
Probably one of the best figures ever made 😀😊
He is very solid! Thanks
Mann! You finally got him! That figure is absolutely fantastic! Probably one of Fanstoys Best pieces to date. Great review!
Yes I was tired of passing on him! He is great! Thanks
He has front hip skirts so the legs CAN go to 90º forwards, plus he has ankle pivots as well as the toe pivots.
Open and Play is the only one that got the arm cannon placement right
I like OP and wish they would make more figures!
Glad you got ahold of him
Great figure and he did not disappoint! Thanks

If we get a main release of this next year I’ll pick it up, I’m not going to pay reseller prices, period
Yes that is the trouble with FT Prices rise fast once they sell out. Thanks
Great you told me about Showzstore. Ordered him a few days ago! Hard to find, weird they stil have him! But great for me :)
Glad to help!
@@tydiriumhanger1320 watching your review for the 3rd time now :D
ME: YOU BELONG
TO ME NOW!
_______________
GALVATRON:
I BELONG TO NOBODY!
______________
ME : I PURCHASE YOU$$
😂😂😂
I have the original version - be careful with that matrix as it will chip the paint on his chest.
That is good advice! Thanks
Really good to know, thank-you.
Tyrant purple looks better than that weird color of fans toys!! galvatron is just purple also that concept is for cyclonus!!
blue Sovereign is metallic blue with metallic flake. a lot more light shows on the details with chromed paint.
the purple Sovereign is not metallic paint. it just has a metallic flake in it. i’m only keeping both Quietus colors cuz they’re both metallic.
i’m having custom silver faces painted for Quietus, Sovereign, Koot, Jabber, Hoodlum 👍
I love the paint on all these guys! Thanks

Yes it holds for poses well but not when for manipulation. Thanks
I've been told that if you push the cannon in hard, it clicks and is solidly in there.
@@UnChannelDuVulpineX
Pretty sure mine was all the way down. It's a flimsy little connection I wouldn't want to apply too much force to it.
@@GibDozer1 I'll be getting one in the next week or so. I'll let you know how it goes.
@@UnChannelDuVulpineX

I can see Megatron's face features on DX9 Tyrant's face.

@@maxdudomite I like that OP figure also! Thanks
The 'M' stands for movie. The original release is more toy accurate in its colour.

Do you think ShowZ will get any more of the FT-29T ?
Not sure but they did get some more Phoenix X figures. Quietus seems more popular though. Thanks
When you brought the arm cannon back into view at 10:23 I thought it was a carrot!
LOL Thanks
Call me crazy but I prefer big cannon. Big spring is also cool I guess.
I need the FT-29T dont wanna go on ebay...

I think the dx9 looks better with the XtB stuff. Dx9 and xtb looks more cartoony whereas ft looks more cartoon brought to real life.
Just 1 other face?
I need to find a Galvatron for my Rodimus Prime to throw away...that one may do.
Rodimus MP-09 will not be able to pick this guy up! LOL Thanks
✌️😳✌️👍👍
Good to see ya! Thanks
I got both but I think ,with a little modification dx9 looks better .but fans toys is good also but feels clunky .I could point out more but no one reads this shit anyway😅
They both have their good points!
I'm not going to buy a repaint.
The worst ft cannon mode ever
It has some issues in cannon mode but I may never see it again as I display in robot mode. Thanks
