I still want that insane IDW styled Thunderwing but he's just a hair too pricey for me.

On the other hand TR Skyshadow is superior to Gen Skyshadow in every way save the deluxe's giant fuckoff duplex missile launcher. His head even stays on better, and it's supposed to detach.

That one seems a bit too clumsy, plus I was never a fan of the armor up mode, I think it looks dumb and garatron is sorta built around that feature. My favorite Thunderwing was the old comics one that wanted the matrix and was compatible with it too. I'm all for the halloween face redesign and the wings on newer designs though.

It's such a great bot, I can't believe so much effort went into such an obscure character. Hard to believe he wasn't the originator of the mold.

I doubt I'd display him in the hypermode. It's a triumph because it's a near perfect page-to-toy design. But I think $175 is the current lowest price and that's a bit much on a novelty character for me.

Yeah seeing Skyshadow on stores constantly tempts me but alas, display space and money. He just looks so badass.



Would Insta-buy it as thunderwing though.

Can't argue the money, but I've said it before, he fits in pretty well with the MP Decepticons. He may not be crafted as finely, with poseable fingers and dabs of diecast and poo poo, but at a quick glance he doesn't stand out as being out of place. He's certainly big enough.

e: of course if display space and cost are factors, you might wisely have not been buying MP Decepticons in the first place.

I think they've dried up. I recently asked the supplier of the Bruticus sets of they could do a set in the G2 Menasor colors and they told me they have moved on to new projects.

Why worry, they'll do more when the new combiners start hitting. Aren't POTP combiners confirmed to be compatible with CW stuff?

PE will probably make even better pieces to compete with the better pieces in POTP.

He goofed up, posted it live as a public patreon post. (I am a $1 backer, but wasn't logged in when I viewed the post.)

Think he's fixed the patreon post now, but since I had the YT link, thought I'd link it.

And if you enjoy Thew, you should back him. I don't have the money to definitely throw $5 every month, so I've settled for a buck a month for now, but if his new schedule does pay off then I'll probably bump it up.

You have Smart Punctuation turned on, which is an iOS feature that is good for professional-looking writing, but not forums code. It messes with straight and curved quotes and that's why you have quotes that look like that.

Here's the seller who has the first three for $11 each shipped. He is sold out so keep an eye out for restocks
https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr....1a4877be0Uwfzl

Quality wise they are solid figures. Just a step below the CW Constructicons in plastic quality. The first guy is super simplified but the newer two are very close to the GT versions. Rumor is they're going to remake the first one when they wrap up the set. I paid $10.59 each for these last two. The entire set is going to set me back under $70 shipped.

Elbows and shoulders are tight and ratchety as all hell. If the other three are solid this will be a great display piece at a killer price. A great option if you have Gravity Builder and want to display in combined and alt modes. But I still think I want Toy World's version, especially if the rumor that Zeta is going to re-release it with updates is true.
