In the past few weeks, I started taking a liking to Magic Square’s legend scale figures, they are simply amazing. Hound, Optimus, and Nemesis.
So I looked back into their past releases and found another recent one, B23 Prowl, so today, let’s talk about it.
Overall, B23 is holding up pretty well in 2022 with a 2019 design, it has a great sculpt, decent articulation, and simple and fun transformation, the paintwork and car mode fall behind a little bit compared to NewAge Prowl, but nothing major.
This pocketable micro-masterpiece really makes me feel like that kid Aron in the cartoon, and THAT is just priceless.

It’s kinda awesome how much ms improves over the years, especially with figures of this scale. They just keep improving, yet this guy still holds up quite well! Sure the vehicle mode is a bit off, but in the cartoon, their vehicles were a bit off at times too, so paired with the nylon, it gives it its on charm.

Yeah, I was not quite aware of MS before, and their products never drew too much of my attention, and it turned out a big surprise for me, loving it!

What a treat for ms fans to have you doing these stellar reviews and content! I started off with newage but ms has become my go to. This mold is one of my favs and you pose him like an expert. It amazes me how much goes into the engineering and overall sculpt to create such beautiful silhouettes and representations of these characters that bring such nostalgia to fans. You really feel the love the designers have for the characters. Great content as always! Perfect picks for your collection!

Thank you so much for your kind words. I share the same journey, started collecting NewAge and was very happy about their products until Optimus, and started taking a liking to MS. They improved quite a bit over the years, and looking forward to their new stuff. Hope you enjoy the figure and the video!

Dude! I love your reviews. I knew when I first found them you’d go a long way and you certainly are. I collect primarily newage and now I’m considering magic square 😅

@OptimusLegends 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks, Wyatt! You're the best! I share the same experience, I used to collect only NewAge and did not even think about any other brand, until I met MS Optimus, and could not stop.

@stevecriscione1567 2 жыл бұрын

Another excellent review! I love it! Thank you, this showed me everything I was concerned about. Newage looks very nice, but bot mode size is all it took to sway me towards Magic Square despite any of the subtle negatives it has. Unlike my masterpiece collection where I buy multiples of any character in different brands, starting to collect legends now, I'm looking more for the perfect version (to me) for each character so its requiring more homework on each one. It's all part of the fun though!😁 thanks again!

@OptimusLegends 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks, Steve! Really glad that it helps, guess we just share the same hobby in very similar ways, NA used to be my go to brand, but now for me, MS takes the lead by offering better sculpt without introducing too many downsides. Loving it.

@rudyvalle9022 2 жыл бұрын

I suspect they changed factories between Silverstreak and Prowl causing a delay. The Prowl tolerances are not as good as Silverstreak. Silverstreak’s alt mode goes together so clean you can barely see the seem lines. In contrast, Prowl’s alt mode legs don’t fully close together and the bot mode shoulder lock is not as secure.

I see, just got into MS recently and I am still catching up, didn't know they had done a better job to this mold.

@MrDochorrible 2 жыл бұрын

The transformation seems really similar to MP17 for the legs! MP-17 is one of my favorite figures. I always appreciate the comparison between MS and NA. I'm waiting for my first order of legends scale figures to come in from China so in the mean time it's great watching these videos. Great videos and camera work as always.

@@OptimusLegends Appreciate the response man. I'm a gunplar so I'm familiar with dry transfer and waterslide decals (if that's what you meant by it's not an easy answer). I was just wondering if that's what you were actually using and where you sourced yours from since I'm brand new to third party transformers. Looking forward to your video on it.

@@ES-lx6pf Got them from Hasbro, officially they release these type of things every year with all kinds of styles. White border, silver border, no border, border only, G1 animation style, G1 toy style, bay verse style, subtle differences, but enough to create a new faction logo. I have over a dozen sheets of different autobot logos, with the combination of different styles and renderings.

I don't know if you take suggestions, but I think a great figure for you to review would be either the newage megatron or magicsquare megatron. Personally I can't decide on which one to get since they both look amazing but In different ways.

@OptimusLegends 2 жыл бұрын

I sure do, and thanks for your suggestion, Max. I haven't got MS Megatron yet, got NA Megatron years ago. Now I have quite a few bots in the review plan, but will definitely try to get MS Megatron and do a review with comparisons, it's Megatron, how could I not review it.
