Agreed, and affordable too. I'm getting free courier shipping to South Africa these days, get the kits before the figures reach me from the stated most times.
@@meg-k-waldren it goes for around 18-20 on ebay, I got mine for 16 from a US based seller "koaoao", who allows to make an offer, but I was buying a bunch of stuff from him
An excellent little kit, as you said, simple but effective. It barely complicates the transformation, makes the figure look better in both modes, and blends in great. It's like the figure was meant to come out of the package this way.
That's a really good looking set overall, the parts tolerances(admittedly from the small sample size of 1) look really good and the color matching is nearly perfect. I don't know if I'd pick it up for robot mode, but it does make the alt mode look phenomenal: posing him with Prime's Trailer like that would make for a nice backdrop for a shelf diorama.
Visible robot parts do bother me, but not as much as silly weapon storage. For example, pretty much every figure of movie Lockdown- stick the giant cannon on top of the normal civilian car. I like Huffer's weapon storage, that's pretty good.
Elevates the price too. Takara Tomy and Hasbro being cheap only causes us collectors to spend more money making these incomplete Transformers complete. This kit is very nice but it doubles the price of Huffer.
This is actually a nice figure, another to the list of what I might pick up and the upgrade kit does a job of selling it. I do like the gun he comes with.
Hey Emgo! I'm curious to know long it took for your Huffer upgrade kit from TFSafari to reach you from the time you purchased it to the moment it was delivered. I bought a few upgrade kits off TFSafari not too long ago but I'm feeling a little concerned about how long it will take.
@@emgo316 Okay okay, thank you for your feedback! It has been just under two weeks and I haven't gotten any confirmation that anything has been shipped so I'm a little worried. Thanks again!
It's a weird area, because on one hand we shouldn't *have* to use upgrade kits for some of these issues with the figures, but on the other hand it's kinda awesome that 3D printing allows us to modify/customize figures to a degree that my 10 year old self would have *killed* for.
I have this kit and the only thing I don't like is the rear wheels don't touch the ground now. I wish they made something that would snap into the rear wheel holes and that you could snap the wheels into, which would lower the wheels by about 3mm.
I got this a little bit ago, and good lord, be careful putting in the part that covers his hands in truck mode that fits behind the cab. Other than that...great set
Later, Huffer watched as Gears drove to the corner mechanic’s garage. He was green with envy. He wanted Regirock, Regice, and Registeel, too. Huffer returned to his job, but he wasn’t thinking about work. All he could think about was Brawn, Prowl, Ironhide, Ratchet, Wheeljack, and Windcharger. “Ooh!” said Huffer. “Ah, ah, ah, ah, ahchoo!” “Be careful,” said Princess Diancie, “and stop thinking about Brawn, Prowl, Ironhide, Ratchet, Wheeljack, and Windcharger.” Huffer tried thinking about Pikachu and all his friends. He tried thinking about cute baby Pokémon. He tried thinking about anything but Brawn, Prowl, Ironhide, Ratchet, Wheeljack, and Windcharger. But it didn’t work.
Shame about the knee articulation. Everything else is gorgeous! For those concerned about the price, Masterpiece Huffer will cost you somewhere between $150-$300 depending on whether he's ever released, lol
Dear emgo316 my name is Sean, just wondering since you have transformers studio series 86 , are you planning on getting the target masters from matrix work shop
If y'all get this kit, that back piece can actually go all the way up into that cavity and it will sit flush against the back of the cab. Also, my thigh gap fillers fall out at every turn... literally... and it makes me sad, but I don't really care about them all that much. Just be aware.
I mean, they are doing completely different things at different price points. Of course the set that costs as much as the figure it's for is going to be better than the kit that's a fourth the price.
That is a very good upgrade kit. It would be nice if Has to would hire some of these guys to put the finishing touches to their Transformers. These extra pieces should have been part of the release figures.
It's not that simple. Designers have to stay within a certain price and complexity range, while also usually having a limited amount of time to work on a project. Upgrades like these would probably be putside of those limits.
Never seen an Upgrade kit that not only limits poseabliloty, but also has pointless parts. Like, nobody cares about the inside of the thighs. And a Butt screw hole cover is redundant, few poses show off the butt of a figure, and it takes away the stand Hole whilst not even giving one back.
That’s a pretty neat upgrade kit.
I like that it adds to the transformation.
"David Hasslehuff"
Perfect
Wow that joke flew over my head. Lmao
as much as I like the upgrade kits, I can't justify spending the price of a figure on an upgrade kit.
I don't mind if it succeeds in turning a toy bin figure into a shelf piece, like the Arcee kit.
its worth it, takes it to almost mp level at a fraction of the cost.
It’s worth it
Not gonna lie buffer is a really underrated figure, super solid
Huffer
I'm starting to get into upgrade kits more and more. This kit is one of the best I've seen.
Go Better has been consistently putting out good stuff.
well the name literally says "Go better"
@@bagusadjie4522 I was gonna say “they aren’t called go worse” but you beat me to it friend
this one and the Sunstreaker kit are just amazing, just wish the latter one had a way to store the gun
Agreed, and affordable too. I'm getting free courier shipping to South Africa these days, get the kits before the figures reach me from the stated most times.

might be the first upgrade kit i purchase. its really good
grapple and inferno's upgrade kit is really good also!
I recently saw this kit on ebay and was thinking about buying it. Now that I've seen your review, I will definitely be getting it.
An excellent little kit, as you said, simple but effective. It barely complicates the transformation, makes the figure look better in both modes, and blends in great. It's like the figure was meant to come out of the package this way.
I like how the color matching is good
I hope that we'll get the same kit for Pipes.

He looks alot better with the upgrade kit
- Huffer, you look noce, new look?
- Yap, I just had my butt plugged
I do wish a kit would be released that would hide his head completely for a solid truck from every angle. Nice little kit all the same.
I don't like the VHS, not at all. It should be at least somewhat realistic from all angles.
Visible robot parts do bother me, but not as much as silly weapon storage. For example, pretty much every figure of movie Lockdown- stick the giant cannon on top of the normal civilian car. I like Huffer's weapon storage, that's pretty good.
I got this kit a month, and this is soooo good! I elevates Huffer to master Pieced levels!
Elevates the price too. Takara Tomy and Hasbro being cheap only causes us collectors to spend more money making these incomplete Transformers complete. This kit is very nice but it doubles the price of Huffer.
@@saysoun752 that is true unfortunately.....
Nice kit. It really completes Huffer…

Definitely a good upgrade kit, makes him look complete I like it

it takes a couple of weeks.

Really complete kit, nice.
i'm not sure why, but upgrade kits are my favorite

I like your huffer name puns
Huffer is now a 11/10 first ever lol.
Hank Hill called. He wants his butt implant back.
I have this kit and the only thing I don't like is the rear wheels don't touch the ground now. I wish they made something that would snap into the rear wheel holes and that you could snap the wheels into, which would lower the wheels by about 3mm.

These video are amazing keep up the good work👍
That grey hand hider panel can be attached to the back of the cab in robot mode much more flush than that. 👍
Huffer was just showing Mascot his booty!🤣😂
7:00 without context that means something completely different
If they end uo doing Pipes, i hope this 3rd party does a kit
Go Better has some of the best upgrades I have ever seen
That is a must buy!
David Hasselhuff? At least you didn't go for Hugh Huffner :P
The more and more I see this figure, the more I like it.
But what about Autobot emergencies such as this, Prime?

OMG IT'S JUST A LITTLE BIT OF FILLING IN BRUH??? LOL
It's almost masterpiece level now
It will be great for you to review the neck replacement to improve the earthrise scorponok head
When will you do a collection tour thing
These upgrades aren't my bag, the figures cost enough already. This one really improves the alt mode a lot though, pretty cool.
Shame about the knee articulation. Everything else is gorgeous!

That's an awesome kit and I'm getting that.
Wow...that's so much better....
Better him than your most beloved BROWN BOX
Ok nice lets take a 9 n move to 11, very nice!
Just happiness
Dear emgo316 my name is Sean, just wondering since you have transformers studio series 86 , are you planning on getting the target masters from matrix work shop
Ok the clearance looks damn near none existent on the trailer part
Bello,di solito fanno pena questi upgrade,me li guardo tutti lostesso però.
Bagception.
Ok ??? Maybe

a dab of glue will fix that.
Great video

Go Better studio is better than Larkin's Lair Upgrade

Bro years of this and no face review you gotta show us man oh yeah great work man
Bro I've been in front of the camera many times already.
@@emgo316 enough to make great memes too
@@emgo316 oh must of missed them then sorry man
@@ultimategamingbob5977 years of watching the wrong vids then
Anyone else huffer look like he has a bent frame?
It won't let me add to the kart . Would you be able to order for me and I'll pay you for it and then pay for the shipping to me when you get it

Costs almost like buying this figure once again.
Not worth it imho.
