Thank you for this. I am a Fanstoys fan, but your review sold me on the Gigapower Gigasaurs. I did own a Fanstoys Sewer, but I loved this head-to-head review, it swayed my decision. Thanks. I'm just waiting on my last two figures to arrive.
I like the FansToys Dinobots over Gigapower for both modes because they are solid and I feel they more closely represent the characters. However, I do prefer the paint on the Gigapower bots. Also, GP Snarl does look really nice in dino mode.
If i had all them i would have fanstoys in dino modes and Giga in Bot modes but what an awesome sight to behold seeing em all together like that, Giga's Swoop's wing span is huge i so need to get that 1
The Fan Toys better call to mind the G1 cartoon versions while Giga Power seem to take more after the toyline. Guess it depends on which look you prefer.
Hi Simon! love your 6 videos on FT dinobots vs GP dinobots! Do you wanna trade your grinder's head? i have the normal grey one(brand new in card) . pm me if you're interested to trade for your silver one
Excellent! Agreed. Each set has its unique qualities. I do prefer Giga, all the way, but then Fans Toys set is also a great set. Great video man! I personally go with Giga both robot and dinosaur mode.
Score sheet so far: Fanstoys - 3 down, 2 to go Gigapower - 4 down, 1 to go Hasbro - 2 down, 3 to go Planet-X IDW - 1 down, 4 to go and finally G1 Dinobots, because they're PRECIOUS! 5 of 5 I don't have a problem
Awesome video's! Always my favourites. The G1 toy Sludge was my first TF. I prefer the Fanstoys set. IMO Giga did overkill on the details on the dinosaur modes. The Grimlock stance in dinomode and head is better through. And stupid that Fanstoys didn't give Slag his red horns. But Jasper is the best beast in the vids 😄
I love this vid! I’m currently trying to figure out what set to get. I’m leaning toward the full GP line up however, what’s your thoughts on FT Swoop fitting in with that set instead of their version?
Granted Giga has the Size and better details such as paint apps,but FansToys clearly has the show appeal.So you ask what does that mean,well for me its literally no contest since both have their own merits and drawbacks,and for me personally both Giga and FansToys are pretty much even at 50/50.Now some may say that is a cop out but for me I am of the opinion of "you can't have too many Dinobots",they are like Icons in their own ways,so if you have all 5 originals then you should have them all,just sayin'.
I don't think calling it 50/50 is a cop out. FT went for the toon aesthetic where GP went for a stylized toy aesthetic. It's like trying to compare apples to oranges. Both are quality sets, it all depends on what aesthetic you prefer. I do prefer GP>FT but i'm buying the FT dinos as well because my collection varies between toon, toy, and Studio Ox. I'm a G1 fan, there's always room for multiple representations of characters.
I love this video. I'm watching this for the 100th time already. I got three of the Gigapower dinos so far and I'm in love with them. If I'd have to choose between them and FT, I'd be happy with any of them. And you're 100% right on people sticking to only one choice. Have fun with what you prefer and let others enjoy their preferences. At the end of the day we are all not-so-grown kids who just love their transformers "toys". Sending love to all the collectors out there. 🤘💟🤘🤖
Thank you very much. I’m thinking of doing a follow up a few months later sort of thing. When the weather here is nicer! They are all great dinobots in their own way. Well, scoria could do with an update! 😆
I just can't get past the way Fanstoys made Grimlock's robot mode proportions so wonky. Why are his shoulders so far apart with that weird extra piece between each arm and shoulder? Why is his waist so small compared to his chest? They match the cartoon really well in every other respect, but gave him these bizarre proportions and I'm not sure why more people aren't bothered by them. I mean, just look and compare for yourself: i.imgur.com/5n2CNpt.jpg
😂 Saying we win was literally the only thing I had planned to say from the start! I stand by it too. I did note my personal preference shortly afterwards though.
Ive watched all six and the Gigagroupies! Gets the Win! Fosure! Love fanstoys as much as the next person and I have alot of fanstoys, but this time they have hold that L. 👊😹👍
I've never understood fanboying one brand and hating anything thats not that brand. Both GP and FT have the fans covered depending on whether you are going for the toon or toy aesthetic. Personally I prefer the GP>FT but I love what FT has released as well and do plan on buying the whole set soon. To fanboy one brand and only supporting one brand is only doing the individual a disservice as most 3rd party brands release good versions of characters other companies aren't doing. Supporting different brands breeds competition which helps keep the industry strong, no competition means no innovation.
Fans toys price on there Dinobots have not wavered; and giga power is putting out bigger, colorful, and strong jointed figures. Why would you want to pay that price for fans toys with giga power is putting up better figures at a better price.... 🤔
The Dibots win for me, It's not even close. The Fans Toys figures are Masterpiece themed, with Sunbow-centric aesthetics - they look like the characters from the show and the marvel comic. Solidly made, full of diecast, in perfect scale with Takara MP figures. They're everything I wanted. The GP figures are doing their own thing in terms of styling. If you like big, generic, roided up shiny bots then have your fill. But personally, I don't think they belong in a MP collection, and I have no place for them in my collection.
KatchouroBlade the gp are far more mp. With the g1 style people want now. Ft was great 3 years ago. But just like any figure that comes out years later the gp are just better in every way. There’s nothing bad with it. They just got the chance to fix everyone else’s mistakes.
@ The end of the day you're blessed to own both sets.
You know what they say, blessed and stupid are often quite close.... 😁
FT just looks like "toys" where Gigapower looks like what a Masterpiece transformer should look like, imo.
dove187 ikr,ft swoop is just too small,and gp dinobots look much stronger than ft
Agreed, they're treasures, pure and simple.

Gigapower is SUPERIOR to fans toys offerings.
I look at these and wonder, how a FT set of the four with GP Sludge would work on a shelf.
Well said man. We all win! Thanks for the video!
CAN'T lose on either set!!
ALL comes down to the size preference.
Awesome 👍
bloody hell...beautiful. Snarl stands out of all of them as well.
Can they combine and become Volcanicus?
If i had all them i would have fanstoys in dino modes and Giga in Bot modes but what an awesome sight to behold seeing em all together like that, Giga's Swoop's wing span is huge i so need to get that 1
What a fantastic video. So well said. I’m proud of you mate. You may be the nicest bloke in our fandom. Happy birthday to the wee lass!
Awesome video I have the Ft set I'm thinking about getting the giagapower set for robot mode and ft for dino mode ..
Love it! Something for everybody! GigaPower for me!
Is the scale for the height the same for both of the sets or one side is bigger than the other and taller than the other?
Great review my friend AAA+++
I like the Who Wins question. Choice is a personal preference. Shared in TF3PUK. Great videos🇬🇧❤️
Hard to choose.. i think FT is more g1 style and MP scale.. right? Which brand has the lower prices?
Prices are pretty similar to be honest, really not much in it.
@@FingersOnPlastic what's the difference between mft dinobots and dx9? Thanks
Aesthetic wise. FT hands down. Giga is more on being big and ugly. FT has that real cartoony look.
Great videos dude! Keep going! :D
No matter what. You can mix them. They still all look good. You can have one set of dinos and the other bot.
The Fan Toys better call to mind the G1 cartoon versions while Giga Power seem to take more after the toyline. Guess it depends on which look you prefer.
Hi Simon! love your 6 videos on FT dinobots vs GP dinobots! Do you wanna trade your grinder's head? i have the normal grey one(brand new in card) . pm me if you're interested to trade for your silver one
Heya. Thank you. Cheers for the offer, a short while after this video went up Greg mentioned he had the same thing and the trade has been done. Lol
Ok tks bro!
Stay safe and stay healthy!
Excellent! Agreed. Each set has its unique qualities. I do prefer Giga, all the way, but then Fans Toys set is also a great set. Great video man! I personally go with Giga both robot and dinosaur mode.
Gigapower FTW!
The FT Dinos are awesome also, but the GP bots are just bigger and more detailed, and most importantly, CHEAPER!
Love this post
Score sheet so far:
Fanstoys - 3 down, 2 to go
Gigapower - 4 down, 1 to go
Hasbro - 2 down, 3 to go
Planet-X IDW - 1 down, 4 to go
and finally G1 Dinobots, because they're PRECIOUS!
5 of 5
I don't have a problem
Awesome video's! Always my favourites. The G1 toy Sludge was my first TF. I prefer the Fanstoys set. IMO Giga did overkill on the details on the dinosaur modes. The Grimlock stance in dinomode and head is better through. And stupid that Fanstoys didn't give Slag his red horns. But Jasper is the best beast in the vids 😄
Giga Grimlock does have a little too much... bling for better words.
Gigapower probably takes the victory - only because the Fanstoys offerings are so hard to come by these days, and cost a fortune.
I would display fans toys in dino mode and giga in bot modes!
Giga for the WIN
I love this vid! I’m currently trying to figure out what set to get. I’m leaning toward the full GP line up however, what’s your thoughts on FT Swoop fitting in with that set instead of their version?
Yeah, Swoop fits well with both. FT Soar is a great figure.
No FANSTOYS ALL DAY 💪 LOOK @GHE KIBBLE ON HIS LEGS ON GIGGAPOWER ALL OF THEM HAVE IT FANSTOYS R SO CLEAN
Because GigaPower or toy accurate and FT are show accurate
I wish they would upgrade the legs n make it more muscular..
It's not even close.

I just pre-ordered all 5 of the GigaPower Dinobots... RIP my wallet
That is a hard hit for it!

That’s a solid point. Bloody good figures though!
Went all budda on us!.. sigh.. but it is true.. but I think it's fair to say that one is more toon and one is more toy.
😂 Saying we win was literally the only thing I had planned to say from the start! I stand by it too. I did note my personal preference shortly afterwards though.
They both have their good n bad..
Gigapower i feel captures the accurate size! Dinobots toward OVER Optimus Prime n the majority of all the Autobots. Beside combiners.
Ive watched all six and the Gigagroupies! Gets the Win! Fosure! Love fanstoys as much as the next person and I have alot of fanstoys, but this time they have hold that L. 👊😹👍

I personally prefer all the fanstoys over gigapower, but i do prefer the GP grimlock

I got the fans toys dinobots I like them more pass on the other ones.
Mate, Gigapower wins!
