    Thank you for the review. I was kicking myself for not lining up for him right away, I just have more love for Sphinx/Mirage. After getting my exclusive Sphinx, I lined up for Anubis but missed out. I was told by the MMC folks to line up elsewhere in the con (forgot the booth name) as I think the Japanese order was going to be reduced from 500 to 250 in order to meet demand. All I had to do was pay shipping for it. However, I overheard a group of guys who had opened their Anubis and at least 2 people were talking about how the plastic felt cheap and noticed stress marks. That put me off to wait for the retail. I was looking at some folks posts on eBay this past weekend, and nearly pulled the trigger but thankfully I saw your video first. Thanks a bunch man. Happy I made the choice to line up for Sphinx first.

    Great review. God Bless you fellow collector. MMC probably let a small division try their hand at this and that's cool for creative intentions. Reminds me of a Picasso painting doah, may fancy some but not here nope you can't fool me into accepting this is a major piece of art which will appreciate over time NO SALE! All the more power to MMC if they can deviate like this and keep it rolling but please learn from this business venture!

    Great review Skull man!!! With all the red and green I thought it was a Christmas version of Cyclonus lol. I can't wait to see the inevitable repaint but they better fix the problems. All those stress marks are inexcusable especially from this company.

  • @jamesburr25
    @jamesburr25 8 років тому +2

    I spoke with MMC before TFNation in the UK in August. They were going to release Deaths Head for that convention but said it wasn't finished, and based on this it still isn't really finished to an MMC standard. The mould does have at least three uses with Jagaetron; Anubis and their upcoming Cyclonus, and I don't think this mould should have been used for all three characters, as it doesn't seem well engineered or designed to accommodate three characters. Hopefully they will improve the mould before they release Cyclonus, as that is the only character out of the three I'm interested in. Good review as always Mr. Skullface 👍

  • @DrLockdown
    @DrLockdown 7 років тому

    Never got a retail release, but I got an MIB one for a damn good price off Facebook. My copy transforms quite well, at least after I get the nose cone down. A lot of these negatives seem like nitpicks when I paid about eighty dollarydoos for mine. It was so cheap I ended up comparing it to a Hasbro Leader, which it surpasses with ease.

    • @DrLockdown
      @DrLockdown 7 років тому

      Also tested out the weapon storage. Mine works fine too. Guess it's a QC thing, and you got the short end of the stick. Bummer. Still no excuse, and it's so confusing.

    I have the lockdown version of the mold incoming. I hope it doesn't get stress marks like that. I've never had an MMC product get stress marks before. I agree they probably did rush it since TFcon was coming in fast. Great review hopefully I can snag one down the road.

    @travissall 8 років тому

    Great review, I was ravenous to get this Deaths Head, until I got Lockdown. There have been some slight improvements made, at least on mine things eventually tab together better with no stress marks, but he still feels rushed. I'm wondering/hoping if they released these retools of the Cyclonus mold to iron out any bugs before they move to the character everyone is really wanting. Rare misfire for MMC that I hope gets straightened out by Cyc time.

  • @RialVestro
    @RialVestro 8 років тому

    Death's Head is a crossover character. I don't mean that as he was from a different franchise and just showed up in Transformers, I mean he was literally created as part of a crossover event. It's kind of iffy as to who actually owns the character as he's appeared in Marvel and IDW. He's met the Doctor from Doctor Who, the Avengers from Marvel, and the Transformers. But he is not himself a Transformer even though he kind of looks like he could be.

  • @IamGalvatron
    @IamGalvatron 8 років тому

    So weird thing here. I ordered this off Planet Steel right after TF Con. Based on your review and a few others I expected the worst. I finally got around to opening it and to my surprise I didn't have many issues. Head still pops off if looked at the wrong way but the up side is the weapons peg into the backpack with no fuss. That really surprised me. Was there a possible running change?

  • @astartespete
    @astartespete 8 років тому

    Yep, its a mess. I have every issue you have and on top of that when gluing on one of the ankle spikes they glued the hole assembly so the ankle cover doesn't move for transformation. At least I'm getting a new leg from my retailer.
    Hate to say it but Overlord had stress marks too and the mmc grapple i got yesterday is a real lemon, stress everywhere, miss assembled, molding errors and because of those they just forced stuff in. Its far worse than the inferno I got. I'm off mmc for now, and I loved them till this point. This 2nd factory they are using is just turning out carp as far as I'm concerned. Hoping TT inferno and Grapple are up to scratch.
    Oh and unique toys springer, came today, and more issues there for me. Geez. You taking a look at him?
    Anyway great review and I agree, I do not recommend him. (and he doesn't transform, he's a freelance peacekeeping agent not a transformer, yes?)

      astartespete what 3rd party company would you recommend this season cause it seems a lot of QC everywhere out side of hasbro.

    • @astartespete
      @astartespete 8 років тому

      Angel Torres it's a good question. FT and MT have not given me (personnal xp only) any qc issues this year, but there have been design issues like kickbacks shoulders or Despotron's leg sink. I'd still recommend them without reservation but mmc are dropping the ball for me at the mo. I really hope they pick up soon tho.

    • @drakozero8
      @drakozero8 8 років тому

    @samuelmartinez4700 8 років тому

    hey man awesome review. do you like the scale mastermind creations are making? im not sure but i don't think cyclonus should be a voyager. he doesn't seem that large in the comics. what do you think?

  • @snarf4058
    @snarf4058 8 років тому

    I was glad to get mine, being in the UK I was pretty lucky that Kapow Toys got some stock in, and he was cheaper than Jaegertron too. One of my wings broke straight away - clean off (where yours had stress marks) - I was gutted. Fortunately, Kapow are awesome and have sorted me out :-)
    I think the wings on the Jaegertron version are a lot smaller, so the hinge isn't designed to cope with the stress put on them because of the additional weight and torque on the joint...so boom, snapped.
    Anyway, Anubis is cool looking but a bit of downstep for MMC considering Carnifex and their other releases.

    • @MythsAndHeroes
      @MythsAndHeroes  8 років тому

      Chris Hughes agreed

    • @DetectiveBarricade
      @DetectiveBarricade 8 років тому

      Actually, Jaegertron's wings are the same size until the swivel part. That part is completely different between Jaegertron and Anubis, with the former allowing cannons to plug on. I think it may be more of a matter of the plastic for the hinges of the wings being very thin, and overall this mold having to support so many very different characters and being a bit rushed. My Anubis has some worrying stress marks right out of the box, though so far they've not gotten worse.
      Still quite a letdown coming off of the lovely psychotic murderous beast that is Carnifex. Honestly, Carnifex's shoulder armor is less of a pain than this mold's legs and general trying to get every tab to stay in place while going to jet mode. (the tiny tab under the canopy is damn near useless)

    I got the lockdown version on this. Looks great in black. I do agree that the tabs are a bit small in vehicle mode. But put together its a bit solid. Feels like an mp seeker. Vehicle mode it should have gotten a landing gear. I may be wrong but i dont see them.its currently sitting on its belly. A stand for this would have been good. Its a dope spaceship mode.

    As a HUGE Death's Head fan I'm glad I waited it out. If MMC doesn't do a proper Death's Head release outside of conventions then its unlikely I'll end up getting one for a while, because seriously who's gonna do another DH?
    Still, if its this badly executed I'll just end up with buyer's remorse.

    I was and still am hoping for a great Death's Head. this is not what I was expecting.
    If does not transform. He is a bad Ass headhunter. he should have the body shape of musculous brute like all those other super heroes from marvel, all this toy does is give him the shape of a character like some underpowered wannabe something.
    his skull face was yet so lively and full of expression in the G1 UK comics. It was a fantastic addition to the transformers universe. this toy is just not doing it right. it looks like the face of a puppet.
    I need someone to do him with more love!

    The finish on this guy, just like Jaegertron, is kind of crap. Jaegertron in particular is like a pre-scratched semi-glossy surface that also manages to show fingerprints. It's like the worst of both worlds. This figure uses the same material, but the lighter color hides its faults slightly better.
