New third party company PPL Toys have revealed, via their Weibo account, renders of their new PPL-02 Combat Aircraft (G1 Starscream Model Kit).

This is an easy-to-assembly non transformable model kit. Al pieces come pre-painted and they are snap-on parts so any glue is needed to assemble it. The renders show a very cartoon-accurate G1 Starscream with several extra accessories like his coronation parts, a G1 Megatron gun, fire blast effects and a wide range of poseability. This figure should be the 13 cm tall like their PPL-01 Op Warrior (G1 Optimus Prime Model Kit). The Megatron gun is compatible with this model kit too.

Via Mechanic Toy Weibo we have images of the color prototype of Mech Fans Toys MS-29 Falcon (Legends Scaled G1 Springer).

Falcon is a very nice little triple changer showing off a cartoon-accurate, detailed and poseable robot mode and quite solid alt modes for this size. Another impressive piece for the competitive Legends scale market. This figure stands 12 cm tall in robot mode and it includes a gun and the robot blades can transform into a sword. An extra bonus for the first pre-orders has been announced: 2 pieces of artillery as seen in The G1 Transformers movie.

Third party company Newage Toys have shared images of the color renders of their H27W Conquest & H28 Octavian (Legends Scale G1 Ultra Magnus) via their Weibo account.

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.
