Third party company Newage Toys have shared the first color renders of their H27W Conquest & H28 Octavian (Legends Scale G1 Ultra Magnus) via their Weibo account.
The Legends scale market is highly competitive for sure. Newage presents their take on G1 Ultra Magnus just minutes after the Magic Square Toys revealed their MS-B31 Brobdingnag. Newage brings us an Ultra Magnus design based on the original G1 toy idea of a separate white Optimus Prime figure which uses parts of the vehicle mode as an armor. The design of the 2 components is close to the G1 animation style and we are sure it’s a great alternative for Legends scale collectors. It also means that Newage may offer a proper Legends scale Optimus Prime figure in the right colors in the future.

Thanks all for recommending a little silver sharpie on the back of the skull face. It definitely helps it stand out moreView attachment 30316141

I don’t think you can count Solus and Magnus, if you’re talking about the Prime title then Solus counts but Magnus doesn’t and if you’re talking about the mold then Magnus counts but not Solus v

Grabbed this one and a couple others from Bombusbee just before CNY and I'm happy I did. He's just loads of fun to play with. And that brings my collection of NewAge Primes up to eight. Nine, if you count Solus.View attachment 30308187

Gotcha! Thats the one thing I’ve seen become an issue across the board so I’ll be super careful!
I grabbed a reissue version from TFSafari so I’ll definitely update once I get it in hand!
Love ToyDojo honestly! Them and TheChosenPrime are my go to for US purchases. I got lucky and snagged a reissue g1 Magnus off TFsafari thankfully but I appreciate you looking out none the less!

Feels like it'd be fairly easy to market it as a Toxitron deco with an green cab and rusty metal oxide red trailer too.

Sorry about that, it always sucks when a deal slips out of your hands.
It is more expensive, but ToyDojo is selling the EX/Toy deco Octavian on their site for about Chinese seller prices if that might interest you.

Dangit I waited too long…
He was in stock and on sale today at Showz and I was JUST about to order him and he’s gone.

If you get regular Magnus I'd appreciate if you could post photos of the side of the cab to check if it's using the mold that allows for the shoulders to butterfly backwards. Last I heard from ShowZ it doesn't.

The chipping was only really bad on the first batch. I’ve had mine for more than a year and handle him pretty regularly and he’s fine. As mentioned above tho don’t open the Matrix chamber from the center; there are ridges at the hinges to push on.

Just make sure you don’t open his chest in the center but use the tabs that are on the sides of the chest windows to open it and you’ll be fine.

I think I’m going to bite the bullet and order this guy off Showz with their sale going on. How easy is it to chip the core Magnus and are there any other issues to keep an eye out for? Thanks in advance!

In a way not really surprised. I don't think there was ever an official Nemesis Ultra Magnus deco, and the only one I can think off is the Fansproject one posted above.
But what I consider amazing is that there isn't a deco from the episode The Killing Jar:

I've never seen anyone release this deco, despite it being from the cartoon. And it would give them another deco for Cyclonus as well.

It's really sad, this is an amazing set but the repaint options feel so limited! I'd throw money so hard at this repaint (sword optional but wicked cool).

Don’t break my heart with our shared dreams :’(

Still no Nemesis/Scourge repaint

Looks like I need to get him again.
Can someone with the reissue please check whether this reissue has the updated backwards shoulders?
There haven't been any other updated reissues of the Magnus mold right?

wow, someone created a really nice and proper custom SG magnus head!

Only thing that might look “yellowed” are the chest flaps since that’s white paint over blue transparent plastic. As far as I know NA haven’t been able to get the white paint to look better over darker colors.
Personally it doesn’t bug me on my Magni
