Unique Toys Mania King! (Not Galvatron)

too bad it's not MP size. I'd be more interested.

I'm the opposite, I want a descent Galvatron figure who can oppose my Rodimus prime (Rodimus with FP protector armour)! I suspect in the end, you might end up getting this because its partially Galvatron!

I might get him to display alongside Universe Cyclonus and Generations Scourge. He's sized PERFECT for those two.

He'll beat the crap out of the TFU toy, clearly that was meant for better things but some moron downgraded him to deluxe, instead of keeping the voyager class he was meant to be!

he's gonna blow the "classics" Galvatron into pieces

I still have my Universe Galvatron MOSC. Might sell him to help fund this purchase.  

i got 4 items on ebay right now.

My TFU Galvy is currently in a box with other figures of mine, but he might get a role to play for a time, but only for a upgrade to this figure, reason why I don't use him much is because he rather underwhelming as a figure and its not like he can hold any other weapons beyond his cannon!

@SOP: I take it you don't sell figures often out of your collection? I mean, if it gets to the point where I'm ready to stick figures off in a box, I'd sell them them off to fund other purchases.

I haven't sold any of my figures, the reason their in boxes was because of the people who were replacing the windows a while back and since then, I just haven't taken them out, besides, I need time to really set them up again and be in the mood, plus some need to be reunited with their accessories, but there has been the odd figure or two I considered selling but never got around to it!

I'll wait for a review, then maybe go for this.

^^^ I think that's what I'm waiting on as well. No hurry in rushing to pre-order him at that price.

Baltmatrix's review of their War Hawk has left me very cautious with this company in general. Plus either TakaraTomy will do a MP Galvatron at some point, or Fans Toys will. I can wait.

I think it's been said that Unique Toys were formerly CHMS. That right there worries me in itself.

Ok, we have a video review of NOT Galvatron:

I think I'm passing on this guy. The more I see, the less impressed I am. From the lack of arm/wrist articulation to the tiny size this guy is......couple that with the ridiculous price of $119.99. Sure it may be the best Galvatron we have ever gotten to this point, but MP Galvatron IS happening and I'll just wait for him.....he's next after Magnus.

I wouldn't say this guy is tiny. He's just about the right size for a Classics/Generations collection, which does seem to be the intent. Close in scale with Protector, so definitely Voyager size, and does look nice next to Cyclonus and Scourge. But the inward bending elbows and 'broken' knee (that knee guard really should move with the lower leg...) kind of put me off. VERY nice packaging though.

And that in between mode... That alone seems right up our Galvatron's alley!   

this is too rich for my wallet.  think ill just stick to the g1 galvy i have had for 27 years.

He does look good next to Generations Scourge and Cyclonus, and great alongside Protector (who's showing his age). But up against Orion or alongside Hegemon (his preformatted self), he's looking rather frail. For $75-$80, I'd be all in...and that's probably the most I'd pay to have him in my Classics collection. As for the knee (the one Peaugh broke), he had a misassembled test shot and once he took it apart and spun the leg around 180 degrees it was fine. But I agree those knee caps are in a bad spot.

As much as I like the mold and design of the Galvatron.. I'm probably gonna pass on this one. If it were MP sized.. I'd be saving my money up way long ago

the more I look at this figure, the more I want it. Then I would need a CHUG Scourge and some sweeps

u need a chug scourge anyways.  good excuse to get one.

knowing me.. I'd need more than one.

after you get one you will want more lol

I think 1 Scourge and about 3 or 4 sweeps would be just fine.
