I want a Macross vehicles figures

 

[Astral Dog]

Pretty cool, but for $700 i wish it was a motion controlled too

Wait it is! But they didn't showed it

 

[Endangered08]

A toy that plays with itself, perfect for today’s youth.

 

[20cent]

2017, pretty sure i've seen others way before that

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

Il take this one over that even if it cant transformed

I have this one as well as Bumblebee and they look great together. Hoping the company continues the line cause they've been killing it.

Make a Starscream or Soundwave (80s version) and then we'll talk. I ain't shelling out 700 for Optimus Prime.

Soundwave version would be fucking amazing.

Seems like I've struck a nerve
It's fine, enjoy your little toys, but equating video games with action figures is like equating matchbox cars with real ones.

Video games have quite a bit more to offer, since many of them are works of creative and artistic expression. They tell a story, present complex puzzles to solve, can be competitive and present a challenge to the player. Kids play with these toys in an imaginative manner, adults merely collect them. In that regard, what do action figures do other than gathering dust on shelves? I can understand that some carefully crafted figurines might also represent a certain artistic value, but that's not what's being discussed here.

For most adults collectors, these plastic toys are nothing more than mindless consumerism fueled by an unhealthy and immature nostalgic obsession with their childhood entertainment. More often than not it merely boils down to the crude act of possession, nothing more. Channeling your inner child is fine once in a while, but part of growing up implies letting go of childish preoccupations in order to make room for more fundamental things in life.

Yes, this is indeed a video-game forum but that doesn't mean that I can't also have some much needed critical distance to my own hobby.
On second thought, maybe that subject deserves a thread of its own... my apologies for the derail.

At first I was like COME ON MAN then I read this and went "wait a sec lets not go crazy here guy is speaking some truth..."

TL;DR: Often, less is more.

I don't know if the toys could move and talk, and had behaviors similar to the sims but much more complex that would be wild.

The movie transformers should've looked something like this.

 

[Party McHardy]

Make life size and out of steel with actual guns and I might buy it.

 

[Pallas]

Really neat and it looks fun but at that price... yeah no. Cool tech nonetheless.

 

[Kimahri]

ehhhhhhhhh it's a start

no way that's worth $700 though

maybe $100 max

for $700 i was expecting some boston dynamics action

Lol, someone isn't very familiar with the collectible market. 700 is pretty much standard these days for licensed collectibles.

Have a look at prices from Prime1, Chroncile etc.

But that's how they looked in Bumblebee..

It did...? This is from the Bumblebee movie.

 

[Omega Supreme Holopsicon]

It did...? This is from the Bumblebee movie.

I meant the original bayformers, or trashformers.

But that's how they looked in Bumblebee..

yeah they fixed it in bumblebee
