Recently new Figure-oh scans have surfaced online, which reveal the new Transformers Masterpiece figure that will be released by Takara Tomy.  The next Masterpiece figure will be Sunstreaker. While the figure is pretty close in design to Masterpiece Sidewipe (for obvious reasons), it will feature a brand new transformation scheme.

Review: Takara Tomy Transformers Legends LG-35 Super Ginrai – スーパージンライ

Billy "TaJa" Doyle

Opening up 2017 is the latest addition to the Transformers Legends line, LG-35 Super Ginrai from Super-God Masterforce! This heavily retool of Leader Ultra Magnus, and modified edition of Power-Master Optimus Prime is the real deal. It is almost as if Ginrai jumped out of the show into one’s lap. The toy is splendid, but has a few shared flaws with its predecessors of the mold. Yet, these are things that maybe fixable, or overlooked by the individual collector. Now, all one needs to do is wait for the release…

Takara Tomy Teases New Zoid Project

Billy "TaJa" Doyle

Interesting news appeared earlier today, when Takara Tomy revealed a new teaser page for Zoids. The page alludes to a new upcoming project for the franchise which has fans questioning if it’s new manga series, anime, or video game as well as proper infighting on which era/anime was the best. Now, personally I hope it is anything from the three debated ideas, and not simply just brand new highly stylized kits line like we have been receiving over the past four to six years inspired by the beloved Chaotic Century…

Transformers Unite Warriors UW-08 Computron Review

Pak Hanu

So far out of the all combiners that were released by Hasbro I was okay with the previously releases outside of Computron. I feel as though they really didn’t give much heart in designing their version and it was clear it was only made out of fan outcry since it seemed that the single boxed Scattorshot was the only on they were going to make. I am really pleased that Takara designed a much better version and I am disappointed that Hasbro made theirs at the last minute instead of…

Transformers Takara Legends LG-25 Blurr Review

Pak Hanu

While Hasbro has done a decent job in their versions of the Titan Returns figures, I personally think that their version of Blurr is the most inexcusable. Usually I am okay with Hasbro’s paint schemes, however this time I feel as though they cheaped out a little too much on the paint. LG-25 Blurr is an amazing figure that greatly captivates the design of the character in both the original G1 movie and the cartoon. Overall I highly recommend this version of the figure instead of the Hasbro version even…
