Praise cheap Chinese goods.

It netted me the constructicons. Or rather new toys made with their molds. All for 1 CAD a piece. That's $0.80 USD.

They are barring the lack of some metal parts the G1 constructicons

Heres are 3 shots of Devastator.

Robot forms. And here you can see the lack of metal. Scavenger's latch that attaches him to Hook is plastic. not metal like the original (which I had) had.

Vehicles

Vehicles plus the Devastator bits. Which I don't know where they all go.

I still have an original G1 Long haul. Here is 2 side by sides with the Chinese knock off.

Nice figs.

 

[Kable24]

sweet. I would have painted them there regular colors printed out some decepticon stickers and slapped them on.

 

[lars573]

I won't bother. The colours are very similar in shade to the multi-colour re-issue they did of the constructicons in '86. Or around when the movie came out. Scavenger was orange in that re-issue and not yellow like this one is, the treads on both were black.

Thats pretty cool for some knockoffs. i saw some horrible knockoffs at the mall yesterday though. They had these boxsets of Superman figs that used knockoff MOTU bodies. And not the newer versions, I'm talking the old ass ones. Had Superman movie images all on the boxes and everything, but the figs were just nasty.

They are. Other than that Mixmaster and Brawl are not the same height and that they both don't fit very well in the hip piece. In fact the keepers that hold in Brawl are very flimsy and bent. If I keep popping him in and out it'll break, guarented. Which would suck greatly. But I can't keep my hands off them, yet. When I get my new Av cabinet set up I'll have Devastator on one side and Optimal optimus on the other.

Cool. BTW, what is the name of the Autobot one like Devastator is for the Decepticons???

 

[lars573]

Well I don't think there is an Autobot combiner like Devastator. After him they changed the way combiners worked. With Devastator Hook (the crane) and Long haul (the dump truck) form the body later ones were 5 with one, usually the leader, being twice the size of the othe 4. He would form the complete body and upper legs. The other 4 could be used as arms or legs. With Devastator you have to use each one as a specific part as they don't fit anywhere else.

Anyhow, the Areial bots are the first autobot combiners. Which I had a complete G2 set of. But I lost a foot plate and slingshot got crushed under someones foot.

It's a sad day when a fig is broken. A little piece of me dies, the inner child usually.

I sympathize wuith you man. When a figure comes crashing off a shelf and breaks, oh man, I get pretty down.
