Via Baidu we have images of the gray prototype of Unique Toys Dark Of The Moon Megatron.
Unique Toys is back with a very detailed mold of the Decepticons leader which even includes a cape. A roght translation of the description indicates: 33 cm tall, 23 ratchet joints, it can bent over, with full-body rusty deco and planned to be released in this year with a mystery gift which could be the Igor mini-figure seen in the images.
This a nice alternative to the previously announced Alien Attack Toys AAT-01 Mackron. Click on the discussion link below and share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

You'll (probably) find out this weekend. Need one of my mates to help with an assembly step before I can really get into it.

What's in the box? We demand answers! (And pictures, please)

..Well, I guess you could say I'm somewhat of a DOTM Megatron fan, funnily enough.

(Yes, Desperado was the excuse for me to post this)

No, I disagree. Color has nothing to do with proportions on a figure. Unique Toys Desperado upper chest area isn't as wide and robust compared to the CGI model in the movie. The Unique toys version upper torso is slightly slimmer, whereas the cgi model is a bit bigger and wider. When I get a chance, I'm going to post pictures later to show what I mean.

it is the colors mostly. the topbits of Movie megatron are silver and not vehicle color. I am studying the movie and (pictures of) the Prime-1 statue at the moment cause I want to do a repaint of him soon on youtube. but Megatron in the movie has way more silver bits on him than Desperado does, that and the weathering (if you didn't buy the "clean"version like I did) throws him off a little. he is a decent figure trough, especially for the transformation and looks.
The detail is all there but it needs a lot of paint to make it pop like it did in the movies.View attachment 30339127

Ooooooo, yikes. It looks even weirder than Unique Toys DOTM Megatron, but Unique Toys does look more proportionally accurate though.
Furb
Alien Attack does it that way and his torso is even thinner

I have to be honest, there something off with Unique Toys Desperado every time I look at him. Like there's something that looks weird on him. So after carefully comparing the cgi model to the Unique toys mold, I think I understand why he looks kinda weird and off to me. It's his upper body that's throwing me off. His upper body is not as beefy and wide compared to the cgi model. If you look at the cgi model upper body, his chest is wider and much robust compared to Unique toys. I think it probably has to do with Unique Toys use the back of the truck trailer to form his upper body instead of using the cab of the truck for transformation. That's just me but like every time I look at him, he looks weird like he worked out his leg a lot but barely worked out chest. Honestly, I was thinking of canceling it overall because he just doesn't look right, but I'll just go ahead and get him anyway. If Newage is better, I will just sell my Unique toys version.

I cancel pre-orders all the time. No penalties. You do lose the points refund if you cancel after they've already asked for the rest of the balance.
KingSnarl00
No, but if you use actual money to pay for a preorder and if you decide to cancel it, ShowZ will give you points instead of the money you used.

Does ShowZ penalize you for cancelling preorders?
Khelthorn
Crap, disregard, I apparently looked at TFSafari thinking I was looking at Show.Z store.
KingSnarl00
It's backup now
jru42287
Ah, fuck. I was thinking about putting in a preorder and drug my feet. Guess I'm out of luck now.
Khelthorn
I tossed the $1 for the preorder on Show.Z. I can only guess it's another one of those that was made a couple of years ago and the manufacturer decided to re-release because enough people still want it.
Edit, Disregard (I would do the draw a line through it text modification but that doesn't appear to be an option on this forum type) -> Now it's showing it as sold out, so I guess they have a limited amount expected and the have sold out of the preorders for those even though they don't even know when they will get them in yet.

They've been on Ali Express, but they seem to be getting skates sparse and expensive. I was close to getting one, but now I think I'll wait for the New Age Megatron…
