WST Ultra Magnus and pals.
So I just got a few of those custom WST Ultra Magnus’s, Click the jump to check out the photos!
I’ve always had a soft spot for the WST line, and I’m really glad that there folks out there who are doing their best at keeping the series going. I’m not sure who makes these, but I got them from an E-bay seller called “HeeroToysMaker”. Not sure if that’s the creator or just the seller, but he will put these figures up from time to time.
The quality on these are just amazing. The plastic is a sturdy ABS. The details are also just amazing. I got one in G1 colors and one in the original Diaclone Powered Convoy colors. There are two more colors as well, a glow in the dark, and a translucent yellow in homage to the E-Hobby exclusive.
Compared with the new Kabaya Magnus kit (which is complete garbage BTW).
All aboard!!
The Magnus cabs are KO’s of Takara’s WST Optimus Prime. The quality is actually very nice, and the creator even added peg-holes in the hands. The White Magnus cab is a little on the blue side, but that’s ok seeing how the real chase Magnus figure goes for around $90!
The transformation is just like the real figure, but the blue chest piece and the waist piece do not detach.
Again, the Kabaya model reeks of failure.
All in all these things rock (cept for the Kabaya kit, it can die for all I care). The WST figures tend to go for about $30 and pop-up under the E-Bay seller “HeeroToysMaker” from time to time. Just keep an eye out for them, if your a WST fan you wont be disappointed.
