    I'm in the same boat to where Third party has become synonymous with "unlicensed," but it's definitely become a long discussion and some really good points have been brought up (By you guys as well.) Here are some responses from when I posted it on my Facebook: "I think we can call them otp aka official third party? i pre order drift too, and i hope you will make the review as soon as you get it, i will get my drift maybe about one or 2 month after you because shipping etc" "I would consider them first party, but yeah the thing to expect with all of those is....no transformation what so ever" "For me it's a first party alright. Since they're using official names and badges for the said products. A third party doesn't use the official names and badges but a new product nonetheless. Well, that's just my opinion anyway." "Given the term is a colloquialism informed from the gaming community, I tend to bend toward those informal definitions. In this example first party is Hasbro, second party is contracted by Hasbro and third party exists outside those contracts. Since most collectors are also gamers, this tends to communicate effectively. I'm not really sure what Ha" "I'm pretty sure this is the definition of 2nd party. 1st party are the license holders. 2nd party are licensees, and 3rd party are not licensed." "they're still made by a 3rd party, so they're still 3rd party. they're just licensed." " I would still consider them official (first party). It just meant that particular line got subcontracted out. Still in official license though." "Third Party licensed." - ***This is what I would label them as myself**

    Honestly, I cannot damned wait for the Flame Toys Drift. I actually made sure to order it from the Sentinel store so it ships out right away and avoids any retailer delays and whatnot. They make a really premium product and like you said, it's at that "right" size point as well. Just hoping it gets here before the end of the year because it'd be nice to close out with it.

    Mine literally pulled right out with 0 effort. Wasn't glued or anything. 0 seconds to remove.

    And with that weirdness knocked out, general question; When it comes to Transformers products that are licensed, but not made by the owners (takara tomy/hasbro,) do you still consider them first party? Third Party licensed? Got brought up in a group chat regarding that upcoming Flame Toys Drift and obviously extends to quite a few licensed products (Ultimetal, Ori Toy, Toys Alliance, etc.) and I think it's a pretty good topic. Would like some of your thoughts.

    Looks like that ignore thing was more bullshit. >Stay out of threads that you've never posted in; ... when did I tell you to stay out of any thread? I just asked that you contribute something on topic. Looks like that's hard. > Called out for being an ass... ... Sorry that you're used to sycophants who take what you say in turn regardless of if it makes any sense but even to you it should be blatant that it's not the case right now. If you cannot take being responded to in turn to that attitude that you present, then you should probably not approach/confront people in that manner at all. It's very simple. So, here's what's going to happen; I'm going to continue to post pictures of and talk about 3rd party transformers in the 3rd party transformers thread. It's you're right to either like or dislike that it happens, however if you have a problem with it, "take your own advice" and use the ignore function as I've laughed at and humored this off-topic nonsense enough and am ceasing to further. Stay toxic. Bye bye.

    Trying to get this done.

    Got it! Thanks for the clear explanation; makes a ton of sense. That's pretty cool that they're made to order; I had no idea. Edit: @no3Ljm thank you as well. Didn't see your post because I had this response box just sitting open while I did other stuff.

    Double post... does this board have a delete function?

    Now, sorry if this reads stupid but I've never done a Web-exclusive release first-hand even on the P-Bandai U.S. site; what about it being a TWE makes things easier to secure? On face value it seems like it'd be harder.

    If literally the only thing you have to contribute to a thread is bitching and moaning, then you should continue to just lurk. I don't know what kind of attitude you feel that you presented here, but I'm guessing it's a lot more shitty than the one you felt was given to you in whatever response to whatever situation by whatever reviewers. And you weren't contributing prior to my arrival, either. Even calling on-topic posting "spam" is outright bizarre.

    Are you overseas then? This piece is beautiful, btw.

    I'm not making stuff up if I'm quoting you directly and going off of what you said. Let it go. You're unsubbed. I still don't care. The world is still rotating around the sun and stuff that actually matters to both you and myself are still present. Considering I don't know your youtube username you can try leaving a comment to see whether you were blocked or not. That simple. I'm here to converse about toys and the hobby as a whole. Sorry if it comes off too nonchalant for your liking but fact is, I literally have no reason to have a problem with you, regardless of if you are a subscriber to my youtube channel or not. It's really not that serious.

    At this point, I feel that explaining both my messages and your own to you would be outright condescending so I'm moving on. --------------------------- Tomorrow getting the review up for the Iron Factory Fangs of Tyrant set. Pretty excited to as I really haven't gotten to mess with these at all so even playing around with them will be a treat.
  14. Kuma Style
    You can do things like that without announcing it. Considering that I don't really care and you felt the need to tell me that as if I did, I'd say the one triggered is you. That's unfortunate; feel better. Edit: I don't know of you or remember interacting with you, but if I told you to "stay off" on my youtube channel, I'd bet my bottom dollar that I blocked you directly after that meaning you didn't unsub but were kicked. I feel that if you would of left this bit of info out, you stating that you unsubscribed would've had more of an effect if there was one to be had at all.
  15. Kuma Style
    No problem, man. Tomorrow I'm going to get the ball rolling and get at least the Fangs done (Coneheads.)

    You do what you want with your own photography. The Full Review for Fansproject's TFX-06 RED Armor is up. http://kumastyledesigns.com/fansproject-tfx-06-review/ I definitely lay it all out in terms of my thoughts in the article but here are some pics from the gallery portion:

    The full review for Generation Toys' GT-2 Tyrant is up. http://kumastyledesigns.com/generation-toy-tyrant-review/ Article and video go into detail but overall, I really dig this one minus a few nitpicks. Here are some pics from the gallery:

    I've messed with Ocular Max's Jaguar quite a bit in-hand and honestly I love the engineering of it, particularly with the "flexing" but I guess I'm just not so huge on Ravage that I feel the need for that large of one even as a desk bot. It's a really nice piece, though.
  22. Kuma Style
    I agree. It's a very "well-done" piece whether one likes the particular styling or not. Full review for this guy up tomorrow:

    Wow... that's a big compliment, and I really appreciate that. Thank you. For Magnus, the alt. mode isn't too bad for the IDW version it represents but I agree that as the products have progressed there's been a lot more balance between the authenticity of each mode and the Seekers are definitely a high point! I'm at a weird point because I feel like Takara is just hands-down killing it with Masterpiece scale so 3P just end up being expensive fillers so I may just wind down to Classics stuff from MakeToys/FP/MMC/etc and legends stuff like this for that non-licensed fix. I primarily a Super Robot collector so I understand cash being spread out completely.
