Transformers Generations Dirge

[themetalsonic94]

Hey, what do you think was the best use of the seeker mold?

[fxfranz]

@themetalsonic94

thundercracker and thrust

[monkeywithagun8]

i love the molds i just hate the cone heads i like thundercrackers head better and are they going to make a generations starscream

[fxfranz]

@monkeywithagun8

cool

i think the TF Universe Starscream is ok. we don't need another one. what we do need is a re-release into the Generations line of the uber-rare and expensive Skywarp and Ramjet. please please please Hasbro for the love of...

[dogman5ful]

the mold for the seekers is getting very x1,000,000,000,000 boring.

[fxfranz]

@dogman5ful

ok.

[Limeisbeast]

These look awesome, I finally found Animated Wreck Gar and RTS Lugnut aswell!

[fxfranz]

@Limeisbeast

[Limeisbeast]

@fxfranz Have you heard about the unknown masterpiece that's coming this year?, I bet it's a Bumblebee cause they never stop making him

[fxfranz]

@Limeisbeast

yup

they say it's another version of Prime

[Limeisbeast]

@fxfranz I hope it's Shockwave or Kup

[Limeisbeast]

Have you seen the prototypes for the masterpiece versions of Thrust,Dirge and Ramjet?

[fxfranz]

@Limeisbeast

yup. i'm not really into MP TFs unless i can get them on clearance

[YungReg88]

Where did you get Dirge from? I looked everywhere but I couldn't find him. I did however find Thrust.

[jamesshadowlordtv]

[fxfranz]

@ultratron562

yup, awesome!

[fxfranz]

@1893BMPO

cool

[ultratron562]

if your looking for a skywarp or thunderckracker then why don't you check kotoys they have a exact replica of the henkei skywarp and thunderckracker even the packajing is the same at KOTOYS.com(yes it is a KO)

[fxfranz]

@ultratron562

i've seen it at a local flea market. priced at about $30

[TheUgatan]

looks like an anime that police patrol anime mecha

[fxfranz]

@TheUgatan

perhaps

[idiotecha]

YEAH! almost a crime to not get this guy, if only to complete my Coneheads. great shade of blue IMO, good call on the anime-grey face. sana lang may paint apps o sticker sa ilalim ng pakpak.

[fxfranz]

@idiotecha

o nga eh. oh well, there's always reprolabels...

[ProjectxDurge]

Beast pose for dirge!

[fxfranz]

@ProjectxDurge

thanks :-)

[richter100]

The Gentai versions wings aren't brittle, don't worry people

[fxfranz]

@richter100

well, the ones i've seen purchased out here are quite brittle. even hobby shop owners warn me against them. maybe in your area, the ones you got have pretty decent quality control on them. but out here, it's a hit or miss for most. don't be too quick to conclude on certain aspects of figures, particularly since most of us have varied experiences with these kinds of products

[fxfranz]

@richter100

i think people have a right to know what to expect on very expensive figures such as the Henkei (not Gentai) version of Transformers.

[richter100]

@fxfranz Fair enough man, just passing on my experience

[fxfranz]

@richter100

cool :-)

[Jehuty989]

I WANT ONE... Wallmart sucks.. their transformers are always sold out.. and they never restock..

[fxfranz]

@Jehuty989

really? that's too bad. maybe new stocks are on their way in time for the Christmas Holiday Shopping period

[norbulousprime]

WIN! Great review Franz! Only problem with mine was on the left foot but I'm almost thinking I can live with it.

[fxfranz]

@norbulousprime

thanks :-)

cool.  maybe you can return and exchange it?

[norbulousprime]

@fxfranz Meh.  I think I like him too much to exchange him but maybe in the future. I got too attached after taking him out of the box. LOL!

[fxfranz]

@norbulousprime

no i meant, exchange him for a non-defective dirge figure. same figure.

[norbulousprime]

@fxfranz LOL! I knew what you meant Franz. I was just saying that I was attached to my copy of Dirge. No problems though. I STILL love the figure. ^_^

[fxfranz]

@norbulousprime

right, then. cool :-)

[christiantransfan]

Do u have the Takara version??

[fxfranz]

@christiantransfan

nope

[christiantransfan]

Where did u get him??

[fxfranz]

@christiantransfan

it's out on retail over here in Manila

i got this one at a local Hobby Shop--R-Toys

[BigDaddyEarl]

I have the G1 version from the 80s and I think the color here is a little lighter The actual G1 had a cone that folded down I think the Cartoon is what made them to be Coneheads

[fxfranz]

@BigDaddyEarl

cool

[fxfranz]

@BigDaddyEarl

yes, i had a friend who had the G1 Dirge back in grade school, and you're right about the toy's head versus the cartoon

[metalheadprime2]

very nice review...what a stunning toy.

[fxfranz]

@metalheadprime2

thanks :-) man

[MrNinoslow]

nice review and nice i just got mine , i liked conehead decepticons , nice

[fxfranz]

@MrNinoslow

thanks :-)

cool

[joesingle]

I bought Dirge when it first came out. Bought him @ Walmart for $10.00 rather than buying @ Target or Toys 'R' us for $11.98 so I got a great deal! The only jet I don't have now is Thundercracker.

This version of Dirge is much better than the Universe one.

Great Transformers Video Review!

[fxfranz]

@joesingle

thanks :-)

cool

[yuujinmikeru]

Price aside, I still think the, Hasbro Dirge and Thrust, are the better looking figures compared to the Henkei versions but, Henkei, wins with Ramjet.

[fxfranz]

@yuujinmikeru

cool

[grizzlycougar7]

do you think they will make all of the seekers?

[fxfranz]

@grizzlycougar7

no idea

[nicoarmado]

Wow coneheads completed! Dirge looks nice! Glad also I have not invested on henkei versions... But I dont have that dood yet haha!

[fxfranz]

@nicoarmado

cool

[PiperMMMMMMMMMM]

Thrust is my favorite

[fxfranz]

@PiperMMMMMMMMMM

cool

[ConvoyGTR]

they can't retire this mold till they make thundercracker :3

[tyu237]

@ConvoyGTR and sunstorm

[fxfranz]

@ConvoyGTR

i hope so

[Maikil00Curtis]

These transformers generatiosn ar supposed to be from the priginal cartoon or about a videogame ?? Im not sure about this ..

[fxfranz]

@Maikil00Curtis

they're supposed to be a continuation of the universe / classics line

[Halo34Prime]

ramjets my favorite conehead

[fxfranz]

@Halo34Prime

cool

[onslaught314]

can the big wings on his legs hinge back?

[fxfranz]

@onslaught314

i don't think so. they're pegged securely at the thrusters

[jlogano20]

did u get the electrostatic jolt????

[fxfranz]

@jlogano20

nope. not yet. hindi ko gusto yung quality ng white lightning paint apps sa side. pero tignan ko uli pag nagbaba na ng presyo.

[jlogano20]

@fxfranz im sorry what?

[nemesispeaugh]

dirge is awesome...now let's see thundercracker...come on....and where the hell is blitzwing?

[fxfranz]

@nemesispeaugh

well said

[runescape228]

They probably WILL retire this mold. Alas Thundercracker will never see a mass-market release! : /

[nemesispeaugh]

@runescape228 DON'T SAY THAT!!!!....I'M STILL HOLDING ON!

[fxfranz]

@runescape228

well, let's hope for the best

[uberkewl19]

Which TF figures do you get doubles on or think one should get doubles on?

[bobbythecoolest]

@uberkewl19

Dude, Dirge and Thrust :D

[fxfranz]

@uberkewl19

i've gotten a few doubles on figures i really really like. it's really a matter of preference. but on hindsight, i now think getting doubles is not such a good idea since funds are drained severely

[WEBKINZ434343]

 I looked On Toywiz .com and saw that There Making Generations ''Kup!!!''

[scoutww]

@WEBKINZ434343 dont forget wreck gar

[WEBKINZ434343]

@scoutww yup

[fxfranz]

@WEBKINZ434343

yup

[Toydude1984]

I heard this is going to be the absolute last figure that their ever going to make using the seeker mold, at least at retail their making G2 ramjet as a club exclusive, but yeah, this is really kinda bittersweet, the seeker mold was probably one of, if not THE best mold created this decade.

[fxfranz]

@Toydude1984

cool
