Anyone heard anything on why the EX was a 2-pack now?
I would think low sale numbers, right?

Maybe not anticipated low sales. Perhaps NA saw the toon versions of those two selling in similar numbers, so they assumed collectors generally wanted both anyway, and that most people interested in the EX versions wouldn’t have bought either yet. That’s the case with me— the only one I had considered up to this point was Artfire.

Wait what’s the issue with this mold? Haven’t gotten it yet but I plan to.

Nothing wrong with mold itself but sometimes those screws can be too tight, and someone on here had a break because if it.

Got my EX versions in today. As always with this mold, make sure to loosen the screws a smidge on the torso (the part where you spin the back half 180) and the head assembly (under the head itself, it's just pegged in) just in case so you don't overtighten/shear something!

Yup… the EX’s are the only ones for which I’d prefer a clear windshield. For all the others, I’d want either frosted blue, dark blue, or opaque black. Oh, and a purple one for Hauler. And maybe frosted yellow for SG.

Frankly I wish NewAge would just sell a pack of replacement windshields. I’d gladly pay $10-20 for a dozen or so little windshields in various darker colors.

While we’re on the topic of what upgrade parts we’d like NA to sell, I’d pay for Prime arm upgrades and a black double barreled gun for Ymir EX. And the upgraded arms for Soundwave for my toon original run.

I’m not gonna fork out for a couple more Primes and more trailers I don’t need, but I’d gladly pay for upgrade parts.

They should make their own website like Magic Square and sell the parts from there.

Also, selling the toon versions of these guys.
They're new & unopened.
$95 shipped for the pair. Lemme know.

I can't imagine me ever wanting either of the EX versions over the glory that is Artfire, but I hope those who were waiting for them are happy with them (enough to buy the other as well). That Bulk-head gets worse every time I see it, though.

Inhand photos and comparisons of EX Grapple and Inferno from Mr. Sweet Daddy on Weibo:

Both appear to have higher saturated primary colors than the toon releases.

g1 version fire engine & crane. In fact, this time na can only be regarded as ex for the sake of ex. It is indeed not much different from the original color. The color is almost the same as the original color, only the head has been changed. However, the sticker painting is indeed very detailed, and there are a lot of them. The chest has been changed to transparent, which is consistent with the g1 toy. Unlike the partition, this time it is painted with baking paint.

When it comes to painting, there is indeed a topic that is often discussed recently: Is it better to have a painting or not? This is of course a matter of choice. It is understandable for many friends to choose no painting for fear of paint falling off. But for me personally, if I only choose unpainted toys, it would be too small and low-end to limit my toy circle. After all, many high-end toys will be painted. Pretend, even if it’s just an action figure like shf, it’s not limited to Bandai, TT, Qianzhilian, 30, Chinese model brands, European and American brands, etc., I feel that the gains outweigh the losses. So I should have painting and painting, and I should play with it, and I will not give up the whole forest for fear of the paint falling off.

Finally, the achievement of the mold is lit, the gourd baby is no longer enough to describe na, and the pit-sealing robot is summoned.

For the curious, here is Inferno with Bulkhead's window (and how he should have looked like from the beginning!)

Does anyone know if the main red and orange colors are the same on the 'toon and EX versions? They look to be, but I was curious if anyone knew for sure. (I had hoped GZ would show a side-by-side comparison.)

i might be wrong, but my guess is though they look similar, the colours will not be the same and there will be a slight difference. i'm basing that on the reg and EX release of devastator. ppl wanted to swap parts but the green was marginally different enough that they didn't quite match to do so.

I'm torn on this release, on one hand they are EX and I'm willing to expand my EX NA collection, on the other they just not say much to me and I found Artfire a much more appealing color scheme plus is a single figure and so is cheaper… Decisions decisions.
