Third party group Planet X have updated their Weibo with some new images of their upcoming Ismenios figure. Ismenios is an unlicensed version of Deathsaurus, a character who debuted in the 1989 Japanese series Transformers Victory, and has since gone on to play a role in IDW’s More than Meets the Eye. This version of Deathsaurus skews toward the original toy’s design with some concessions toward the animation model. An interesting feature for Ismenios is that the wings can be opened up with blue energy parts added to give the figure a more impressive look once the wings are open – in fact, they look so impressive we think most people buying this release won’t want to display the figure without them. Check out the images attached to this post.

Has anyone found another storefront offering preorders for what's supposedly a reissue of this figure other than TFSource/ToyGeek? I know RobotKingdom still has the original in stock, but they're charging about $60 for shipping so it'd be way cheaper to go through TFSource, as loathe as I am to actually purchase stuff from them.

If you bought it from a retailer, contacting that retailer should be your first step.

Is there a way to contact Planet X about replacement parts? The white piece that acts as the stomach in chicken mode & covers the joint is missing after a move & I'd like to see if I can get a replacement. Hell, its triggering me so much that if anyone is selling one I'd buy it & leave my one in bot mode.

They did the beast mode so well. My singular complaint would be his dragon beak/snout being too squared off and not angular/sharp enough.

Ya I never got rid of that post lol I have him and love itttt. The beast mode to me is better than mmc’s which is where I display mine most
Slimaximus
He is about even with Siege Skyfire and does look really good with FP Dinoking and TFC Hades. The thing is him and MMC are about the same size so it is going to boil down to personal preference for most.
Overall I do enjoy the figure but I think overall I like the aesthetics of MMC's just enough more than I'm going to make the switch with my display.
With that said I'll be selling my copy with the upgrade kit installed, all parts and packaging. Located in NorCal

They both about match up I like the mmc legs better
MrUniqZ
I am leaning towards not getting MMC deathsarus…any opinions on this one. I notice the price has inflated…is he fun or more like a chunk.

Thanks, I checked and my copy actually doesn't have the right thigh cover installed, so that's where the mysterious piece came from. Now the hard part is to figure out where I stored it so I can put it back on the figure…

I have Ismenios in front of me, and this piece looks like the cover for the inside of right thigh/the outside of his left thigh (the pieces are mirrors of each other, as much of the figure is)
Either it fell off in the box, or they just got a spare/extra that made it's way into the box.

Honestly I don't remember. Probably not.

Sorry to be to this but was there any answer to what this is

Megatron's boots actually. Deathsaurus had some big shoes to fill as leader:
Planet X PX-C01 Ismenios
Tungg
No the booties at the end what gundam is missing his feet
ph4zed
I think they are untransformed lol
Tungg
What happening with those legs. some sort tail/leg mod please explain
cj37a
Imo, a long way away before we see a new offering. Too many delays in life these days.
Anyway, I think Ismenios can stand up to anything third party can throw at him; but can Star Saber?

These guys will never trust each other anyway.
Also, assembling the wing shards into the "Giant Shield" vs. "The Half Shield" is not as easy as it looks.

Yeah with counting for all the delays do to holidays at the factory, it's being slated for May 2022 release.

MMC stated they had intended to show an update at TFCon a couple weeks ago, but like their exclusives it failed to get there in time due to shipping delays. I believe they said it is currently on it's way to Hard Return for new pictures to be taken.
