It’s time for another update to our Transformers toy galleries, and we’re going with not one but four galleries of recent(-ish) toys. We’re giving the spotlight to the third wave of Titans Return Titan Masters!
Fangry is up first. Rounding out the cadre of Decepticon Headmaster Jr Titan Masters, Fangry is a fantastic new mold with a pair of cool alternate modes and a wicked triple-barreled gun configuration. We’d have prefered he were a full on Deluxe class, but he looks good on Mindwipe’s shoulders.
Overboard brings a third release of the Crashbash mold, and arguably the best looking dino mode yet in his striking blue and white. It’s a shame that by the time we got him, he was the third use of this mold in as many waves, and the fifth one overall – fatigue at seeing this mold yet again had set in, even if he does look lovely.
Ptero kicks off the assortment’s Autobot representation with a Titan Master version of Dinobot Swoop with an interesting and unique weapon mode – a cyber-bow – and a decent head sculpt, even if the vehicle mode is a bit questionable.
Sawback rounds out the assortment with a Generation 1 Lione homage, making him the first of what is currently a pair of Titan Master homages to Japan exclusive Headmaster heads in the line. But he is a double homage, as the lion mode is much closer in looks to Generation 1 Steeljaw. Throw in a creative weapon form – lion shield (works best when paired with a sword) and you’ve got an interesting release to finish the assortment.
Check out the galleries of all four at the links below:

As cute as Over(kill)board is, I wish they did the same thing to him that they did with Ramhorn, rather than just being a full repaint of existing figures. At the very least, they should have used Grimlock / Clobber's face-sculpt for the TM. It would have made a nice homage to that deluxe-class Overkill.

Price point was probably killing them. There were quite a few 3P deluxes that were fantastic but I couldn't justify paying the price for such a small figure when there's leader class figs on my wish list that I haven't picked up yet for less.
Now, for a lot of the bigger figures, sure I'd pull the trigger on buying.

I really enjoy these dudes. While I wish I had bodies for them, it's also really fun to just mix and match a ton. And as I'm getting a few of the japanese guys, it's making it real easy to take the US bodies with some of these heads to make new dudes.

Even now I'm surprised no third party companies made the effort to make bodies for these heads.
But then again most third party companies abandoned the Deluxe class entirely.

Gotta admit that these little packs are really addictive and neat! Hope they keep making more of them in different ways. Tons of potential here.
