    Really? In my mind the Soul of Chogokin line is the best of the best that Bandai Tamashii Nations has to offer. Granted I only own the SoC Gunbuster but it is mostly painted and looks great. The difference for me between Metal Build and Soul of Chogokin is that one is stylized and detailed (MB) while the other is screen accurate (SoC). So I would expect SoC Tryon 3 to be pretty screen accurate (which it is) but no extraneous markings (which it doesn’t have). But I would also expect to be fully painted. The problem is also that blue, red and yellow can easily look like plastic. They can be too translucent (red and yellow) swallowing fine details and easily show swirls and other imperfections especially when it has a glossy finish (blue). These colors are prevalent in the Tryon 3 which is why I would prefer a fully painted toy instead of bare plastic Of course I will reserve my final judgement until I have my copy in hand and as I said, the images from Hacchaka make it look quite alright.

    Hacchaka‘s review of the Tryon 3: https://hacchaka.net/archives/52115187.html They mention that it is mostly unpainted plastic which I don’t care for. However it looks much better in their pictures than in the most recent ones from the magazine.

    I‘m super excited if it is a Blacktron Renegade. The original was never released in Europe, so an original set is super pricey to get since you need to import it from NA.

    Do we know what the difference is between the 2025 Exia and the previous mold?

    Is the Tryon 3 mostly unpainted plastic? The blue and red parts look kinda horrible in these pictures. I might have to cancel my preorder. [edit:] I feel like the one Sakai Minato built in the show was painted to the nines. This looks like someone just pushed the pieces from the runners and did a plain build

    The Fallen looks great. Will definitely buy this one. Thank god it is not a Tarn remold; take note Flame Toys. For some reason the Constructicons give me major Combiner Wars flashbacks. Maybe it is the bright green, slightly translucent looking plastic? Will definitely looking forward to the reviews.

    Well, the figure is called: MAFEX X-Men - Jubilee (Comic Ver.) So if it is the comic version I want the blue gloves.

    Still no images of Studio Series 86 Devastator? I will buy the WfC Skywarp but that purple color looks terrible in the pictures. I prefer my Skywarps as more of a lilac color. In the images on TFW he also looks way too dark and not enough gray. Another reissue of the mediocre Kingdom Galvatron? Every time I see this mold without the WfC schmutz I grown and wished I didn’t buy it on first sight. A the only one on this Earth that adores the Universe Deluxe Galvatron I find it sad that there isn’t an official figure of him that surpasses that.
