Masterforce UK: August 2015
http://masterforceuk.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 25 August 2015. Transformers Combiner Wars Prowl Review. Before Devastator landed at Castle Soapbox, I was starting to suffer a bit of Combiner Wars fatigue. It is not that the figures are coming out at such a rapid pace, or boredom with the line - but it has become so repaint/remold heavy. Prowl, for example, is the 4th use of this mold and is a straight repaint of Streetwise. 160;but with a lovely new noggin planted on his shoulders. Sunday, 23 August 2015. Never Tell Me the Odds. Of our cust...

Masterforce UK: Hasbro Combiner Wars Titan Class Devastator Review (Part 1)
http://masterforceuk.blogspot.com/2015/08/hasbro-combiner-wars-titan-class.html
Wednesday, 5 August 2015. Hasbro Combiner Wars Titan Class Devastator Review (Part 1). A fan favourite if ever there was one. The myriad unofficial versions of the Constructicons are a testament to the less than jolly green giants enduring popularity. And not since the live action movie series’ namesake almost slapped his bollocks in John Turturro’s face has a combiner courted so much controversy as this Hasbro effort. Easy there. Let’s take a look at the Constructicons themselves first. All of them, bar...

Masterforce UK: April 2015
http://masterforceuk.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 7 April 2015. Takara MP-11SW Skywarp Review. Plus this one is Skywarp. That colour scheme? That (wonderfully misused according to his bio) teleportation ability? That bit in episode 3 where it was like fightin' a shadow? In a nutshell, you knew if this Transformer was for you the second it was announced. Master of the selfie. Skywarp’s deco is classic ‘Con colours and evokes both toy and cartoon gloriously well. The colour scheme is beautiful to look at, the paint is well applied...Although it i...

Masterforce UK: November 2014
http://masterforceuk.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, 23 November 2014. Maketoys Quantron, Part 2 of 3 (Yes, I lied). Last time we took his arms and legs apart. In the second part of my Quantron boxset review it's torso time (It's gonna be a two part review in three parts). Let's go with 'Yes'. It's one way of storing Quantron's feet, I guess. Unfortunately, mine had an off centre waist ratchet. It was affecting some. Sets, not all as far as I can tell. Maketoys are aware of it and parts are available to replace the faulty. But still. no...Unintenti...

Masterforce UK: Combiner Wars Cyclonus Review
http://masterforceuk.blogspot.com/2015/06/combiner-wars-cyclonus-review.html
Tuesday, 30 June 2015. Combiner Wars Cyclonus Review. After seeing all of my favourite characters brutally killed, and brand new, less cool replacements taking their place, I emerged from the cinema in 1986 liking only one of the new characters from Transformers: The Movie. It all centred on a single moment, when the Decepticons are pursuing the Autobot Shuttle through space (with Hot Rod being as annoying as ever), and Galvatron dispatches Cyclonus to finish them off. The telescoping antenna is nowhere ...

Masterforce UK: Boldforms BSC-01 Lonewolf Review
http://masterforceuk.blogspot.com/2015/06/boldforms-bsc-01-lonewolf-review.html
Thursday, 25 June 2015. Boldforms BSC-01 Lonewolf Review. Motormaster in torso mode has been easily the weakest part of Combiner Wars so far, so a replacement with 3rd party engineering and slavish Generation aesthetics is a no brainer right? Sort of. Read on to uncover a whole lot more on this interesting first figure from new third party company-Boldforms. Gorgeous Decepticon Purple windows make a strong comeback and the paint is really nicely applied, as it is all over the figure. One noticeable bump ...

Masterforce UK: Third Party Round Up
http://masterforceuk.blogspot.com/2015/08/third-party-round-up.html
Sunday, 2 August 2015. Third Party Round Up. For a long time there's been speculation that the third party bubble is about to pop with many thinking we're seeing that starting to happen now. There's been a huge number of announcements recently, in fact nearly too many to keep up with, so let's have a look at who is bringing out what. So Much. Want. Also returning after a long break are Corbot V with their first full figure - an Allicon named Project Reyes. Following on from the upgrades for Wheeljack, it...

Masterforce UK: So you want to sell toys? Part 2 - Selling
http://masterforceuk.blogspot.com/2015/07/so-you-want-to-sell-toys-part-2-selling.html
Saturday, 25 July 2015. So you want to sell toys? Part 2 - Selling. We looked at how to set up a business and some of the numbers involved so this time let's look at actually selling. Cliffjumper in name only. From a kit consisting of a head, 2 spoilers and a cannon to making some of the best transforming robots. Hey KFC, how you doing? Oh and expect delays. Lots and lots of delays. One thing third party companies do well is shipping. Chinese factories are used to shipping overseas so your items will...
