REVIEW: Five 5 Out of 5s? My Overdue Maketoys Roundup

Standard

I don’t know when it dawned on me. I think it was when I was bigging up Maketoys AGAIN in one of my reviews. I’m kinda desperate to award my first 5 Star review, and I found myself trying to remember what score I’d given my Maketoys figures. Then the cold truth struck me – I’ve not reviewed any of them! And in the one semi-review I did, a Spotter vs Visualizers write-up, I ruled in favour of Fanstoys!

REVIEW: Toyworld TW-M07 Spaceracer

Standard

My experience with Toyworld until now has been limited to the recent not-MP10 Primorion, which arrived in my early 2017 downtime and thus avoided review. But I’ll tell you now, I wouldn’t have been especially kind. Both modes look great, but the transformation is just horrendous, and there’s an inherent awkwardness to the bot. He would have been 3 stars, max. If he were any character other than Optimus he’d be off my shelf. So it probably goes without saying that my expectations for Spaceracer were tempered at best.

Perfect Effect Beast Gorira

Standard

A total impulse purchase, this. And just as I was thinking of selling Masterpiece Optimus Primal and PE Leonidas. I really can’t afford to be falling down the Beast Wars rabbit hole. So whether he stays or not I can’t say for the moment but dear me, if he isn’t a lovably imposing fella. Amazingly articulated for something of this size, too.
