Deformation Space DS-01 Crimson Wings Starscream
ssjgoku22: This one wins. Have both this and MP-52 and this crushes that figure, more specifically in robot mode. MP-52 is a solid figure and has a better transformation, but DS-01 is just the better looking Starscream. The robot mode has to be one of the cleanest, if not the most clean looking robot mode ever made (even better than a lot of Fanstoys sculpts). They really nailed the design for this figure and the materials used are top-notch as well. My only gripe is to be careful with the front hip skirts. The paint seems to be applied heavily on them and moving them will, 100%, chip the paint (so it's best not to move them much). Besides that, this figure is a 10/10. Guess the only company that can really go toe-to-toe with this figure is Fanstoys (if they release a Starscream anytime soon). Overall, this is a must-have.
Transform Element TE-03 Phantom Mirage
ssjgoku22: Dang peeps, for that price, you'd better not pass this up. This is such a good figure. Much better than the MMC and, in my opinion, looks as good as the Fanstoys (and it won't cost you $200). Highly recommend this guy.
DNA Design DK-30 Upgrade Kit for WFC-K28 Galvatron
ssjgoku22: Excellent upgrade kit. The main thing you're buying this for is the height pieces. They really make the figure look more proportional and just overall better. The hands are good (wish they had a bit more articulation). Chain, rifle and blast effect are nice touches. The faces are a bit of a let down though. The sculpts on them are too soft and the lips on the smirking and stoic face have big lips. The official face sculpt looks a lot better. Overall, this is still a great kit that makes Kingdom/ Legacy Galvatron look much better. Highly recommended.
Magic Square MS-B46B Nemesis Prime 2.0 Version w/o Trailer
ssjgoku22: I've seen a lot of positive reviews for this figure and while there are a lot of positives, there are some issues that should be addressed. Starting with the good, the sculpt is awesome, a significant improvement over the 1.0 Magic Square Prime and even better than Newage David. The articulation is also probably the best articulation that you can get on a Legends scale Prime.

There are negatives for this figure though. The materials used are not very good at all. The plastic feels grainy and cheap. I don't think I've felt plastic like this on a third party figure in a long time. There is a lot of plastic flashing through the figure (extra pieces of plastic hanging off of different parts of the figure). Finally the paint isn't applied all that well or neatly. The red on the windshield is a bit out of the lines and the figure came with paint chips on the mouth piece of the main head. When comparing this to my Newage David Youth version (the version of Newage Prime with a bit less paint), David has none of these issues and was just made better overall in terms of qc.

So that kind of sums it up. If you want sculpt and articulation, go with Magic Square. If you want higher build quality in terms of better plastic and paint, go with Newage. Even though MS-B46B didn't have the best qc, I still really like it.

*in the picture I took of the figure, I cleaned up the plastic flashing on the figure and painted the mouth piece so the chipping wouldn't show.
Mechanic Toy & Dr.Wu SA-01T Steve Train Bumblebee Hearts of Steel Thomas Version
ssjgoku22: Excellent figure. Simple and to the point. For some reason, I thought it was going to be smaller, but I'm quite happy that it isn't tiny. Great articulation, good build quality, nothing to complain about. The Thomas mode looks great. Highly recommended.
FansToys FT-40A Cerebros Hannibal Fortress Maximus's Head
ssjgoku22: Another excellent release by Fanstoys. Cerebros looks like he walked out of the cartoon. Paint and plastic are top-notch and the articulation is good (could be slightly better, moreso in the legs). The weapons do get un-pegged from the hands a little easily too. Regardless, these issues are minor and overall, I'm ecstatic to own a true MP version of this character. 100% recommend picking this up.
FansToys FT-14 Forager Kickback
ssjgoku22: Such little figure. Embodies Kickback in every way. Sure it's expensive, but it's pretty much perfect. Highly recommended.
FansToys FT-23 Dracula Masterpiece Mindwipe
ssjgoku22: What awesome release from Fanstoys. This the absolute best rendition of Mindwipe we've ever gotten (or probably will ever get). The paint, joints and sculpt are flawless on my copy. This is probably one of the best figures I've purchased this year. Highly recommend picking this up, it's amazing.
LiJiang Upgrade Kit for Optimus Primal
ssjgoku22: This kit brings this figure to a whole other level. I liked the way the Lijiang Primal looked before, but with this new Primal head, this figure looks like an expensive 3rd party figure now. Because of this kit, this version of Optimus Primal has become one of my favorite Primal's ever. I'm liking this more than Kingdom Primal and as much as MP Primal. I wish Rise of the Beasts would have used a color scheme like this on their Primal, it's so much more eye-catching. A must buy (both figure and kit).
Magic Square MS-02B Dark Lord Nemesis Prime 2.0 Version
ssjgoku22: Damn, I really love this figure. There are some issues however (I'll go through those first). The plastic feels not the best. In comparison, Takara and Transform Element feel more solid than this (even the original Magic Square MP Prime feels a little sturdier). The plastic is not poor however, it just feels light. There are fitment issues with tabs, specifically in robot mode. The backpack doesn't tab together as well as it should and the chest windows have a small gap between them because they don't lock together securely. The last issue is the upper thigh ratchets. Just as in their other releases of this figure, the thigh ratchets are inconsistent. Your copy might have either very loose ratchets or overly tight ratchets. My copy had a loose left thigh ratchet, but tightening the screw kind of helped.

All that aside, there's tons to love about the figure. The sculpt looks great. The articulation is awesome. You can put him into almost any pose. He looks very imposing. It's a significant improvement visually in comparison to the 1.0 MS Prime. The transformation, while a bit tricky, is pretty clever. Highly recommend picking this up, it's a great Nemesis Prime.
