Which they really should have gotten plans for them already, otherwise they are running out of characters to release.

Hope they keep it up!

Thanks, Matthew! These 3rd parties companies are helping keeping the community active. And for me, they are also helping so much saving shelf space, and work better with the titan class figures. Hope Wizard keeps it up and give us better products!

Thanks! Hope you could make it to the premiere!

@@OptimusLegends when are we gonna see the rest of the MS constructicons, just curious?

The material is where MS makes it's magic. The nylon is extremely tough, he can get away with super thin parts and without having to worry about it breaking. I even had trouble getting rid of some of the mold flashes that occasionally come with the toys. You have to use very sharp knifes to cut them, normal scissors won't cut, and they don't break off even if you bend them 180 degrees and they won't tear. In my experience the MS toys are some of the toughest transformers I own, I never for once felt worried at breaking anything. Another advantage of the material is that the joins doesn't go lose. Due to the softness of nylon it behaves more like rubber and thus does not shave when rubbed repeatedly against the steel pins like ABS does. So these joints last almost forever even with constant playing. It is not possible to copy MS designs using ABS which is most other manufacturers use, unless they massively up scale it to MP size.

@@tonglianheng Definitely, to all of this. Since I posted that first comment, I've gotten myself a fair few of MS's figures and the only one that's gotten loose over time is Megatron, probably due to the version I got being fully painted so it chipped at the joints. And, as of now, I'm waiting on an order for their Blastoff, Jetfire, and Trailbreaker. Blastoff to finish their Bruticus, and Jetfire and Trailbreaker because they just look like a ton of fun. I don't have their Mirage as I lost interest in it, and I'm unsure about getting the fully painted version because I worry about how that affects the transformation, but I love how sturdy these figures feel when moving bits around. Even with crazy transformations I have an easier first time transforming them than most other figures, be they official or New Age or whatever.

Much appreciated, Harvey!

true

agree

@@felixphaneuf9011 besides some paint chipping, then nothing else really

@@funnyman1204 ok

There datsun mould is massive disappointment your telling me you cant beat engineering that came out like 10 years ago mp datsun still are the best we gotten a better wheeljack better side swipe but we are still stuck with the mp

Welcome aboard!

@@OptimusLegends thanks very much! I ordered 7 Magic Square figures today, so I’m fully on board now, hahaha 🤣😅 I almost didn’t get Mirage, but after watching your video, I was convinced!

I love this Mirage more than other carbots, he just looks so cool! And he deserves all my attention for this review.

@@OptimusLegends lol 👍🏿👍🏿

I was carried away by these soundtracks and tuned up just 3dB than usual, and you heard it! I was a Forza fan, been playing Forza 7 forever, and this time around I am using similar style sound tracks, really love the retro feel they brought, fits the mood. With limited accessories, I am guessing the price might go down.

@@OptimusLegends Awesome 👍 I like the music you're using. I don't know if the price will go down, we'll have to wait and see. Are you going to a video on the MS Shockwave repaint in the future?

Glad you like them! I am also just a new MS fan, starting from their Hound. Great to have you, sharing our common hobby.

@@OptimusLegends I was lucky to get inferno and prowl to start now i have jazz, seekers and 2 constructicons

@@OptimusLegends By the way here i go again with my fanboy questions haha, sometime last year MS showed a preview for hound, ratchet, mirage and omega supreme, since you had some conversation with them are they releasing more characters (both decepticons and autobots) this year or can we expect new reveals before the year ends?

@@criscarunungan8421 This is something I really don't know, I knew MS the brand just 4 month, and worked with them for a few reviews in the past 2 month, I talked with them mainly on the upcoming releases, which I need to prepare for the review. I guess if they have a forum that'll be better to communicate with fans.

@@OptimusLegends Ok thanks for the reply i just they continue this up to the season 3 characters and im hoping more combiners

Thank you 🤗

Hi there, hope you enjoy the video!

Hope you enjoy yours soon!

Yeah, the material, some hate it, some don't mind, and some love it. The back kick is a sacrifice for the front kick and integrated skirt, I guess it will stay like this until they find some new solutions to offer better articulation. I do talk to them, and their priority is to bring G1 characters, as many as they can, so maybe BW has to wait.

@@OptimusLegends You talk to them!? Please tell them we want their Light of Victory in MP scale!!! TE-01 looks good, but has a bad transformation and limited articulation. MP44 (not counting KO) has an ugly back, even worse transformation, expensive as heck, and fragile. Their Light of Freedom is good, but there are some weird articulation limitations and the truck bed doesn't look good. I feel like Light of Victory is what everyone wants. Good alt-mode (even if it's not 100% perfect), great articulation, and a transformation that won't drive you nuts.

@@OptimusLegends Ask them to do a new Sideswipe please!!

@@illiteratedino Not sure about their MP scales, they haven't been releasing anything at that scale after their very first product MS-01, not sure why though. But surely we all want that Prime to be in MP scale!!

@@OptimusLegends I'm sure you have already, but PLEASE get them to finish off the G1 Autobots, ie. Wheeljack, Gears, Windcharger, and Sunstreaker. Oh and an updated Sideswipe to go with Sunstreaker of course. Are you able to give any hints about MS possibly working on these characters?

Yes, very tight joints, solid figure.

Glad you made it! It means a lot to me.

Thank you, Asaph! Thank you for your support from the start, you're the best! 👍 So you might be able to tell, I am trying my best to improve the production quality of the video, and that really takes a LOT of effort to make, so I am doing my best. Hope I could get more efficient soon enough to make longer videos!

@@OptimusLegends ur doing great bro it's just now a days there aren't many good reviewers and they're all reviewing the same crap so when I get a notification from u I click on it immediately and I enjoy it thats all, but ur Quality is Top Notch 👍

@@asaphmartinez4225 What can I say, your comment is priceless, and gives me power making more videos!!

Me too 😅

Thanks! I was only notified a few weeks prior to their next release, and they will pick a time slot of my release schedule, see if it fits their marketing and production flow, so our conversation has been mainly about the next thing.

It’s a reissue from magic square

@@kevinhoover5009 Oh, alright. I wasn't aware it was coming up. Thanks for the info !

This one and Ironhide are both pretty good.

@@OptimusLegendswhich other ms legends figures aside from prime are good?

Thanks, Ian! Hope you could make it to the premiere!

@@OptimusLegends I totally setup the notification, so I shouldn't miss it!

@@OptimusLegends Made it, and another great production. Really liked the music for this one.

@@xun3 Then we have the same taste, I LOVE these retro music for the 80s cars!

@@xun3 THANKS!

Yeah, MS really need to update them, hard to find and not up to their latest level of design.

Haven't bought any Hasbro figures for a very long time, it's hard to pick them up when 3rd party is offering better figures in almost the same price range. And this race car mode is really good.

They have it on sale now in their official shop and it is the metallic version. I just ordered. I missed out on the original release also.

Here: Figure Stands, amzn.to/3Kf8qPg

Shouldn't be expensive this time, considering the accessories.

@@OptimusLegends nah I just bought newage arcee and ironfactory grimlock so the budget has been blown up😂

@@alc4528 Ah.. I feel you, that's the situation we are all in...

Yes he does.

Let's see if MS could make a repaint of that.

@@OptimusLegends Am I the only person who thinks that the light blue is actually mauve and DOESN'T match the cartoon at all? Help me out here people. The side by side comparison with the cartoon shows the difference pretty strikingly.

You never want that to happen. The corporate culture will take over and everything will go back to letting the marketing department, corporate accountants and lawyers dictate every design decision. MS and NA are putting out amazing products because they are tiny design studios run by their respective owners who like us are G1 fans. While they do it for money of course, a huge part of their motivation is to fulfill their own childhood dream of having the G1 characters walk out of the TV. They are essentially doing it to satisfy their own nerdy needs while worked out a way to also make a living out of their hobby.

@@tonglianheng You're probably right. I wonder how they can make a living form such a niche product.

You're probably referring to painted v1 Prime? Because v2 Prime doesn't have a paint job, yet...

@@barbahuub no, v2, it has paint like my nemesis and has major paint chipping issues

@@funnyman1204 I'm sorry to hear. I've got 2 v2's and 1 Nemesis v2, no issues at all.

@@barbahuub Yeah, idk why but the nemesis has chipping so I 'try' and fix it with a silver marker, but it keeps rubbing off xd

Then been did them two

V1 of both characters came out years ago. The seekers are not as good as the NA ones. May be there will be V2 versions. V1 shockwave is good enough as of now. They also did Megatron soundwave and cyclonus. Both were one of the first releases MS did. Not to mention the combiners. They did three sets of decepticon combiners already.

It's the usual material, and yes, the engineering is amazing! And also, in my opinion, it has the best alt mode so far.

Yeah.. bare minimal. And the other face is not as cool.

@@OptimusLegends Could this be a case of Magic Square giving you an early release and that perhaps the final version has more accessories, as was the case with Ratchet? Extra hands should be standard on these figures now. And i'd have LOVED it if they had included a wireframe, yellow rectangle to place him in (I'm thinking like Hound's cage only bigger and just the bare rectangle frame), so that it's like he's engaged his invisibility powers.

@@Anduril1974 Actually, it happened twice already in both the Ironhide and Ratchet reviews, I didn't get the full accessory set since I've got them early, and the accessories are still in production. So it might be, but this time around, I've got the box and the instruction sheet with it, looks quite complete already. So, we could hope there are more accessories... or just live with this, sadly.
