Taking a look today at another Threezero Transformers piece – DLX scale Revenge of the Fallen Jetfire.  This is their mid scale tier, standing at about 15 inches tall and a whopping 65 points of articulation.  In addition, he comes apart into many (many many) pieces in order to combine with the previously released Revenge of the Fallen Optimus Prime to make Jetpower Optimus Prime.  I’ve had this guy in hand a bit and want to thank Threezero for their patience as I handled some things and finally got the gallery done.   On the other hand, he is now shipping globally so if you dig what you see you can grab him now! Check our sponsors below, then read on for some quick thoughts and about 70 HD Images!

Taking an in-hand look at the recent Premium Scale release from ThreeZero for Transformers Bumblebee Optimus Prime.  This is the larger size line, not to be confused with the also-awesome DLX scale figures which are smaller in scale and price.  Premium are the big boys, meant to be centerpieces of your display.  He faithfully represents Optimus’ look from the 2018 Bumblebee movie, in both his Cybertron and Earth modes due to interchangeable parts.  Lights are present in the eyes and the blaster, plus he sports 140 (yes, 140) points of articulation.  Every part is touched with high end paint and weathering, so he looks like he popped right off the screen and is sitting in front of you once in hand.

This is a review copy (thanks to ThreeZero for sending it through), so things may change a bit for final release.  Optimus should be shipping soon, with expected delivery dates in Q3 2022 (though that can change).  If you are still on the fence with him, some of our sponsors below still have him available to order.

Taking a quick look today at Threezero‘s DLX scale Transformers The Last Knight Bumblebee.   This is a smaller version of their Premium scale offering coming in at 9 inches tall with a die cast frame, LED lights in the eyes, and 60+ points of articulation.  It keeps on with the high end feel of previous DLX figures, the new smaller package compared to Premium, and smaller price.  We’ve had him in hand a bit, but IRL things has our galleries on a bit of a delay.  He’s now shipping and some folks already have him in hand.  Some retailers are still awaiting stock, so there is time to get your orders in if you dig him.  We’ll let the pics and forum discussion speak for themselves, but bottom line – another fantastically executed piece for those looking to rep the movies in physical form on their shelves, where transformations aren’t the primary concern.

Read on to check out our set of over 45 HD images courtesy of Threezero.  Hit our sponsors below to check for stock.  Stay tuned after SDCC for our in-hand shots of DLX Jetfire and Premium BB Optimus.

Time for a look at the second MDLX figure from threezero – G1 inspired Optimus Prime.  This scales with the first MDLX release, Bumblebee (see our gallery here).  The original & larger 15+ inch figures are called Premium, then they went to the 10-12 inch DLX line, and now we are one step smaller with MDLX.  The non transforming figure stands around 7 inches tall with a whopping 48 points of articulation, detailed paint head to toe, multiple hands, weapons and accessories.  If you are looking for a G1-esque, high end display piece in the smaller form factor, this is a winner.

Threezero was kind enough to send through a copy a little early, he’s due to ship in Q2 2022.  Read on to check some in-hand pics, then hit our sponsors below or the Threezero Store to pick up your copy! You can also join in the ongoing MDLX discussion on the 2005 Boards.

Transformers Legacy officially hit US shelves earlier this month, and fans are starting to get their hands on them out in the wild.  Wave 1 continued the War For Cybertron DNA and expanded it’s reach into the wider universe and eras of Transformers.  G1 gets entries for Blaster (repack from Kingdom), Kickback, Skids, and Dragstrip.  The Prime Universe gets Generations style remixes of Bulkhead and Arcee.  Generation 2 has Laser Optimus Prime, complete with Trailer.  And to cap it off, the Core class gets Skywarp, Hot Rod, and Iguanus, which is a remix of the Pretender shell into a fully functioning bot.

Wave 1 has been seen multiple times, from launch to leaks to international releases to straight up USA in-hand shares – so we didn’t go too deep into a review or photography here.  This is just a way for me to tinker around with the newest wave, and give us all a way to celebrate Wave 1 being available in full over on the forums.   Read on to check out some quick photography for these guys, and then share your thoughts and/or pics over on the 2005 Boards!

And don’t forget – Wave 2 and Cybertron Metroplex went up for order recently too!  We’d like to thank Hasbro for sending some of these through to check out.

Threezero is continuing to put out high quality, non-transforming versions of our favorite Robots in Disguise through multiple styles and price points.  Today gives us a first look at the new smaller MDLX size class with Bumblebee.  The original & larger 15+ inch figures are called Premium, then they went to the 10-12 inch DLX line, and now we are one step smaller with MDLX.  So far these are also not tied to any movie property – they are re-imaginings of Generation 1 looks to have a modern realistic design.

Bumblebee is about 5 inches tall, has 36 points of articulation, detailed sculpt and paint head to toe.  He is a top tier action figure in a small package.  Retail is also cheaper than previous offerings, coming in at about $60 USD which puts it in line with other import action figure lines like S.H. Figuarts, MAFEX, Figma, Revoltech and the like.

Threezero was kind enough to send through a copy a little early, he’s due to ship in Q1 2022.  Read on to check some additional thoughts  and pics, then hit our sponsors below or the Threezero Store to pick up your copy!

Threezero‘s DLX range of figures is in full swing, branching out beyond the Bumblebee movie figures into other Bayverse films, the War for Cybertron series, and even non-Transformers pieces like the MCU’s Iron Man and Hulkbuster.  Today we are taking a look at DLX Revenge of the Fallen Optimus Prime.  This is the first dip into ROTF for threezero since they got the license years back.  Optimus may be similar to his Movie 1 and DOTM configurations, but the key here is that he will eventually combine with Jetfire for his powered up mode (see here for how that will work).  That being said, this Optimus stands on his own without any design elements for the combination sticking out when in solo mode.

Threezero was kind enough to send over a sample for us to check out a bit early. Read on for some additional quick thoughts and over 60 HD images showing what he can do.    He’s due to start shipping soon, so if you haven’t got your pre-orders check Threezero or our sponsors below to pick him up!

It is the year 2005… wait a minute.  How did it get to be 2021?  Anyway.  We are now 16 years past the 19 years into the future that was 2005 – in the 86 movie. And boy has it been a ride.  Even back when I started TFW2005 21 years ago, and a decade after that, and almost a decade after THAT – I never thought what is inside this article would ever exist.  A massive, gigantic, big, huge, diesel, heavy, spiky, fully transforming, completely round, Unicron.  But it does, and it’s here, and I photographed it.  And it’s on my shelf now.

I was going to do a full on review, super wordy, rare for me.  Take comparison pics galore.  Talk about the history of the character and toys he’s had over the years.  After it hit April 1, that was off the table.  Then I was going to do a full on bitch fest post about how the shipping was handled, since that was like eating spoonfuls of salt for like 2 months.  Now, I’m doing neither.  It’s been in the hands of collectors since February.  And a significant chunk of US folks now have him too.  There are 1700+ pages of discussion on the big guy here.  A pretty fun appreciation thread here. Tons of videos, pics, and thoughts here on TFW2005 and around the web.  If you want to dig in, go for it.

I enjoy doing photography, it’s been my way to “play” with these guys for the last 10 years or so.  So even though this isn’t hot off the presses, wanted to give him a run.   I thought it would be the most challenging figure I’ve shot, and I was right.  Both at a basic and fancy pants level, mainly because he’s just SO FRIGGIN BIG!  Wanted to see if I could do it, and I think they came out good.  So, if you want to see some pretty shots of the big guy one more time, read on to check out the highlights in this article, or head on over to the gallery system on TFW2005 for over 135 HD pics.

Aside from logistics at the end and that one paint change – it’s an impressive piece and I dig it.  I’d like to thank the Hasbro team for taking a chance on it and getting it done.  It’s a centerpiece, a true centerpiece, to a 30+ year run of being a fan.
