    If you have had the opportunity to look at the + off white version of this and the KFC Snapdragon I would love to see you do a "second times the charm" review segment where you look at 2.0 versions of figures that have came out recently.

  • @fernandoflores3161

    I like it a lot! He also has working tech specs! The new head will come with Kingzilla. Kongor has magnets at the bottom of his feet too!
    Fair review by the way!

    • @MythsAndHeroes
      @MythsAndHeroes  7 років тому +1

      I thought I mentioned the tech specs, and thanks

  • @AcanLord
    @AcanLord 7 років тому

    I pretty much agree with you about this and most other KFC products.
    the figures seem great and are simply held down by the fragility of the hands.

  • @Giantwaspface
    @Giantwaspface 4 роки тому

    Very late to the party, but just want to say I was having a hell of a time transforming this guy, and this vid helped tons. Thanks! Cool figure, looks great in all three modes, but just like Kingzilla, suffers from looking a bit cheap. Could seriously use some paint on it. On the other hand, I'm just pleased that we got MP scale Horrorcons at all, so all in all, I'm very happy.

    Just got mine in today... 3 things a lot of the other reviewers missed... Prior to my purchase at least. Just how big the the head was in robot mode, just how big the guns are in robot mode (they essentially touch the ground if they're held at his sides) and just how deep the back pack is... Visually the back pack doesn't bother me, but the size is playing a huge issue for my display options. As for the guns, the left hand slot holds the gun perfectly, but I can't get the right hand to work at all. I also can't get any up and down movement for the head on my figure. I do agree with you in that it does look a little plain, and for me it's the same issue I have with MP Loudpedal... It's the grey plastic, like Loudpedal there's a lot of visible swirling, it's distracting and it doesn't present itself as a high end release. If the grey was painted I don't think I would have an issue with his appearance.

    • @CardboardBots
      @CardboardBots 7 років тому

      Gray swirly plastic is nasty. Too soft. Use good plastic and paint up it up, or just good plastic. Swirls are bad.

    • @PicklerEntertainment
      @PicklerEntertainment 7 років тому

      Yeah, my Loudpedal has far more swirls than this figure, but it seems like grey (and gold), more than any other color, shows the most of the plastic's imperfections. I should clarify that as light grey; if you look at the KFC Opticlones the dark grey they used there works perfectly well. Side note, did you notice how much paint detail was wasted on the back of the robot mode where the jet cab attaches? It's the best paint on the figure and it's not visible... Such a waste.

    • @MythsAndHeroes
      @MythsAndHeroes  7 років тому

      its funny, personally I don't mind the swirling. planet x uses it a lot and I tend to like it

    • @PicklerEntertainment
      @PicklerEntertainment 7 років тому +1

      The high-end Masterpiece paint fanatic doesn't mind the swirling... Blasphemy! Is this even the real Bobby Skullz or some sick demented hacker!? (insert wink emoji here in order to ensure sarcasm is apparent)

    @rasmo0753 7 років тому

    Dear Uncle Skullface, Yeah, little late to the game with this I know, but just got my Apyface yesterday...and after playing with him for a couple hours, I realized there is an important thing you overlooked in terms of his nostalgia factor: When playing with this guy, mostly manipulating and transforming both sets of his ape arms/legs....folding out his front arms from inside the wing stanchion, and just the LOOK of his rear/bottom legs...did this guy bring you nostalgic feels of the original "G1" Voltron Black Lion?!BOOSCH!

  • @primetime791
    @primetime791 7 років тому

    A must buy for me but the lack of Finnish is really bothering me but reprolables should fix that and also I here'd that a head replacement is going to come with snapdragon great video Mr Skullface I was waiting on your input

  • @stryderlao
    @stryderlao 7 років тому

    i am a sucker for Horrorcons so i getting them no matter what . I can get over the color detail on it but I also hate the hands on them. Fansproject suppose to make their version of horrorcons but it been 2 years now and no new updates

  • @jzachery
    @jzachery 7 років тому +1

    Learning not to eat the first pancake off the stove is a lesson with collecting 3P. Unless it's something I can't pass up, I've found it's better to wait until most options are out. Like the Reflector wars, Megatron, Springer... So of course I ordered this right out of the gate. LOL I don't hate it, don't love it either.

  • @snarf4058
    @snarf4058 7 років тому

    I'm glad the build quality is good - certainly looks and sounds it (clickety!). I agree with the plainness - it's a big figure with some unbroken bare areas. The working tech specs is cool. I think if Snapdragon is good, i'll buy both, as I like the look overall.

  • @Magikknight76
    @Magikknight76 7 років тому

    Great review Skull Brother!!! The jet and ape modes are definitely better than that bad robot mode. I'd say an average figure but ultimately not for me...

    • @BIGLARRY100
      @BIGLARRY100 7 років тому

      DrLockdown I like articulated hands as well. I do think Fanstoys do it better, they dont spread. I think he mostly doesn't like the extra small ball joints at the base but I'm not him obviously

    • @DrLockdown
      @DrLockdown 7 років тому

      True, but personally I've never had any KFC hands break. Don't know why.

    • @DrLockdown
      @DrLockdown 7 років тому

      I've got a friend who owns one too (probably second issue) and his is fine. My guess is that Bobby has bad luck with KFC hands, just as Baltmatrix has bad luck with Hasbro QC.

    • @MythsAndHeroes
      @MythsAndHeroes  7 років тому

      then you win

    • @DrLockdown
      @DrLockdown 7 років тому

      "Nobody likes them".
      Thank god I understand that it was partially a joke. Some of the commenters down here...not so nice.
      BTW, Skullface, if you liked Triggerhappy then you'll also like Hasbro's starters. I think that they're starting an upward spiral of quality. Maybe in two years you'll get back into the main line figures again at this rate.

  • @richardillustrates
    @richardillustrates 7 років тому +3

    Here's a question - does any 3rd party sell hands to swap KFC's out? I know KFC sells hands, but that doesn't do a damn thing. I love the last few KFC pieces I've picked up, but those digits are killin' me.

    • @MythsAndHeroes

    Thanks for the review, for a KFC figure it doesn't look too bad but I'm really holding out on their Snapdragon as he's my favorite headmaster and if he's good then I might get Apeface here.

    • @MythsAndHeroes

    The headmaster itself, for this figure, is quite interesting, how it works for the robot mode & gorilla mode. Like it has 2 heads on it, which is odd, but neat, at the same time. :p Looks like an 'ok' figure though, will give it that.

    Too bad they didn't paint it huh because it sounds VERY solid otherwise. I still might pick it up as the paint isn't as big an issue for me. I wonder if hes making us pay for all the people that wanted an unpainted blaster ...

  • @jaraxel888
    @jaraxel888 7 років тому +4

    Regarding the hands I wonder if it's a cultural thing. I happen to be Chinese (surprise!) and I really appreciate the hands fully articulated. Is it a pain during transformation? Possibly, but I don't mind for the expressiveness hands gives.
    I noticed that Chinese and some other Asian cultures tends to express with our hands a lot while talking (I certainly do so) and possibly why the Chinese 3rd parties like KFC are obsessed with articulated hands too. Also you have the gundams kits that either have really articulated hands or multiple hands with different poses which seems to reinforce this view.
    IMO even a simple relaxed hand gives a lot of expression to a figure, thus I prefer the KFC hands myself

  • @mayadawnfisher3222
    @mayadawnfisher3222 7 років тому

    It is never a good idea to pull a finger. Overall, I feel it is definitely a mixed bag. I hate the transformation process, and the lack of paint. But it does look sturdy and well built. Paint would put it in the win column.

  • @THEWATCHERISLOOKING
    @THEWATCHERISLOOKING 7 років тому

    Oh damn. this guy is on its way. i saw Peaughs review. Im afraid of those fingers. i hope they add and extra set of hands along with a head on the Snapdragon. On Another note. Someone will Probably come with a stickers sheet for this figure. if not oh well.

  • @mstiefan6996
    @mstiefan6996 7 років тому

    He looks pretty good in jet and gorilla mode, but given he's a character that came out around the time I wasn't into Transformers anymore (it took Beast Wars to bring me back in) I will be passing on any MP Headmaster stuff 3rd party or otherwise.
    I do agree at least a little paint would help. Especially with that gray plastic. It should have been painted silver or something to make it look less like a Hasbro Transformer toy.
    And the fingers/hands definitely need to go. They always feel so loose and like they're going to break with the slightest gust of wind on every figure I've had through this company.

  • @bobby101a
    @bobby101a 7 років тому

  • @Windcharger
    @Windcharger 7 років тому +2

    I'm skipping this because 1) Head sculpt for both the bot and ape doesn't look like the cartoon source, and 2) articulation and looks feels more like the MP-10 era MPs rather than the MP-36 era MPs. I know you like the MP-10 era MPs more so it should look good, no?

    That swirly silver plastic looks a mess and its not accurate to boot, not sure what they were thinking. Its totally too plain as well, especially put next to FT's weirdwolf and galvy with their top notch finishes. Pity its seems like they can build it cheap and looking good, or the other way round, but not do both.

    Thanks for the Review BSF good enough for me not to get it. Like you said I hate those F&$ing hands too. I think the issue with KFC/XTB is that they rush things too quickly they panic when other third party companies announce things and release a less then finish product. Seriously what kind of BS is this, that every one or most of their products have a upgrade part a few months later after the release. I am done with KFC/XTB Their 150 figures for the quality should be costing $80-90 tops
    Keith should realize that his stuff is not even close to Fans Toys, yet he wants too dollars for his stuff. GTFO.

      Sorry dude. Can't remember where I read though on TFW. That's why I said fingers crossed. If you read the comments here another guy also said it was canceled. Maybe you could ask him. Hopefully Maketoys is just putting this on the back-burner to concentrate on their other Headmasters.

    The moment I started watching I wanted to rush to the comments window and go "man that head is huge and ugly", but I resisted until the end of the video just in case that was a premature comment to make. But nope, turns out it's still huge and ugly for no good reason. Funny how KFC BUILDS something solid that doesn't LOOK good when often times it's the other way around.
