Magic Square Toys – Legends Scaled G1 Ultra Magnus Prototype

under 3rd Party Unlicensed

Via Magic Square Toys Weibo we have images of their upcoming Magic Square Toys – Legends Scaled G1 Ultra Magnus Prototype

This figure is a very cartoon-accurate representation of Ultra Magnus in both modes. The robot mode proves to be very articulated and poseable. You even recreate Ultra Magnus pose shooting at the sky from the classic G1 Transformers Movie poster. Another picture shows Magnus next to other Magic Square molds like Inferno, Grapple and DX9 Dutch (Optimus Prime), proving that the scale between these figures is well planned. Another very nice addition to the growing options of unlicensed Legends scaled figures.

No information on release date yet, but you can check out the mirrored images after the jump, and then share your impressions at the 2005 Boards!

I also thought that could be the case, but turns out their Powermaster Prime was labeled MS-B19. and came in a white box with an exclusive front illustration. Mine has Ultra Magnus printed on it.

Coincidentally, I received my Magnus today, ms-b04P aswel ;)

…i think they did a [P]owermaster remold/recolor, AKA god ginrai: maybe yours was just packaged in the wrong box?..

…i don't know, man, i'm just guessing..

Thanks guys. ^_-
Yeah, it was just the P on the label that got me wondering about it. The figure looks absolutely identical to the original release, and I can't figure out what the letter could stand for (C for cartoon, D for Diaclone, T for transparent… I'm at a loss with that P).

I also do not know why the same figure was released in two different boxes

Apologies for the necro, folks, I wanted to post my question in the appropriate theead.

So, I recently got an MST Magnus – I still keep the toon-colored OS KO from MechFansToys in my main G1 display, but I wanted the original Magic Square figure as well – under the idea there was only one non-cartoon, standard paint deco (not counting the Delta Magnus scheme, here, and all the transparent editions).

This is what I've got:

To my surprise, tho, he came labeled as MS-B04P, packed in one of those white, more generic, Brobdingnag boxes, whereas the standard MS-B04 comes in a standard, fully colored box. What's the deal with that P, guys? I can't find a clue anywhere.

Thanks in advance! ^_-

Good one, don't know.. there's a toon version b04c, diaclone b04d. Your P version looks like the original b04.

I think one of them is toy colors and one of them is too colors.

Dunno, that's a new one to me, and I've got almost all of them.

^Magni!

Now I just need the clear version and the dark urine colored one which is a chase figure I believe and next to impossible to get.

Anyway, Magnus is up there, in my opinion, as one of the best MS molds, with Prime and Datsun molds being the best followed by the Cyclonus, Trailbreaker/Hoist, and Reflector molds in no particular order.

Toon colored Magnus FTW, he's pretty rad and much more movie accurate.

^Wee problem though, the top piece of the black ball and socket broke, it still holds but it is pretty loose. No worries, I'm sure showz will have my back and get me a replacement part.

I'm gonna wait and see what NewAge does with UM.

I thought about it, but that's going to be a LOOOOONG wait. NA looks like they're going through Seasons 1 and 2, and at their rate it'll be a few years before they get to the movie. MS Magnus goes great with DX9 and New Age.

from the pictures, he looks just a bit larger than MFT Magnus but no bigger than PPT Magnus. i'd say he would go well with HS Prime and the OS KO of Dutch. can't say how well yet with MST Prime. or maybe i could be wrong how he goes with HS Prime and OS KO Dutch.

That is odd. I mean, it was a cool surprise to have it drop (literally) out of the box, but it would be cool if it was a standard thing. I like the idea of building a MS collection and then having a display backround to boot.

I think they were going to start selling them desperately, and maybe this inclusion was a way to whet our appetites. It's cool, but I don't have much use for it. If it came with some sort of stand, that might have made it more compelling to me. As it is it stays in the box (I luuuurv MS Powered Convy)

no, just that one. For some reason they decided to include it. Maybe the beef up the price?
