JetJockey Posted December 2, 2021 Posted December 2, 2021 Shame they couldn't do better with the faces. Other than that, the figures look fine. But I believe the rule I've heard many times is that you get the face right first. Quote
Convectuoso Posted January 20, 2022 Author Posted January 20, 2022 They're going to release a new version with better face sculpts. Quote
no3Ljm Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) Preordered this new batch. Nice cartoon accurate colors. https://ramentoy.com/products/item-80c04-commanders-3-pack-set Edited January 28, 2022 by no3Ljm Quote
no3Ljm Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 Land Drone. With an ability to combine with Hacker. Possibly with Doc Terror too. Wish they do Air Drone too. And the rest of the Assault Weapon Systems. Quote

And while we're at it: the other two Centurions: Rex Charger and John Thunder. And let's not forget Crystal and Lucy! Don't forget Shadow. Quote

At least the helmets are different. All said though, looks like a neat set! Yeah. And I'm glad that they decided on making this 'cartoon' colored version. Though it looks like they will be replacing the plastic tray based on their Facebook post. Some were concerned about the shoulder pads positioned that way since it's not on hinge connector. It will be just be in arms down layout. Probably in a rectangular shape box as well. Quote
no3Ljm Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 Ramen Toy released a teaser image for Apache Commander (aka John Thunder) and its Thunder Knife weapon system under the 80's Commanders Retro Series line. They made it clear that 'Retro Series' is compatible to the old Kenner toys. They're planning on producing the weapon systems and the additional characters that wasn't produced or made back in the 80's. Namely John Thunder and Rex Charger. And producing down the line any unproduced weapon systems for the original members. ramentoy_80sRetroSeries_1840048116239383428_n.mp4 Quote

no3Ljm Posted March 31, 2022 Posted March 31, 2022 New packaging layout. I kinda prefer the 'Power X-Treme' layout above. But a lot was concern regarding the shoulder pads, which they don't have in the animation, leaving in the packaging for a long period of time. Especially from the MISB community. Quote
no3Ljm Posted April 2, 2022 Posted April 2, 2022 2022 release schedule includes Antagonist Cyborg (Hacker), Land Drone (Doom Drone), and Apache Commander (John Thunder). Quote
no3Ljm Posted April 2, 2022 Posted April 2, 2022 Size comparison with the upcoming Quicksilver. Didn't realize Quicksilver is this tall at 1/12. Quote
no3Ljm Posted April 2, 2022 Posted April 2, 2022 Naval Commander (Max) with Antagonist Cyborg (Hacker). Quote

Magnus Posted April 5, 2022 Posted April 5, 2022 I think I was one of the first people to get the original 80's commander releases, and after only opening up Ace I immediately sold them all off and made my money back, like the day I got them in. It wasn't so much the body sculpt or the weapons, but the weird bald extra heads that really turned me off. I did po the v2 cartoon release though, and it looks like that was the right choice. I hope the weapons are a bit more sturdy now, but otherwise I think these should do the trick and can't wait to get them in hand. Quote
no3Ljm Posted April 5, 2022 Posted April 5, 2022 Looks like the Apache Commander is going to be a backers-based project. They need 800 orders for the project to get it made due to factory minumum production requirement of 1000 sets. Suggested retail price is US$199.95. Early bird backs price will be US$140. It will be compatible to the original Kenner Centurions figures but will feature more points of articulations than the Kenner counterparts. Working prototypes will be shown by June with delivery in December if the target number of backers has been achieved. Quote
