WHAT'S NEW IN THE VAULT: SPOTLIGHT: FANS TOYS FT-63 TURBO

Windcharger is one of those Transformers characters who perhaps doesn't get quite as much attention as some of his fellow Autobots.

WHAT'S NEW IN THE VAULT: SPOTLIGHT: MISSING LINK C-12 GRIMLOCK

Some characters simply belong to the history of Transformers, and Grimlock is undoubtedly one of them.

WHAT'S NEW IN THE VAULT: FANTASTIC MODEL FM-05 RAMBO

Sometimes, a figure arrives in the Vault that manages to make a familiar character feel rather fresh again.

WHAT'S NEW IN THE VAULT: MISSING LINK C-11 Delta Magnus

Somehow, nearly a month has passed between Delta Magnus arriving in the Vault and me actually sitting down to photograph him properly. I'm calling that "allowing him time to settle in."

WHAT'S NEW IN THE VAULT: MISSING LINK C-01S Sentinel Prime

A few days ago now, I took a look at Missing Link Sentinel Prime from Takara Tomy. It's a figure that I had initially passed on, however with the Missing Link line giving us some good Diaclone inspired redecos, I decided to go back and pick one up.

WHAT'S NEW IN THE VAULT: MISSING LINK C-10 ULTRA MAGNUS

Earlier this week I did an hour long look at the new Missing Link Ultra Magnus from Takara Tomy. In this video I discussed the full range of this 'from the ground up' re-imagining of the Autobots City Commander.

MISSING LINK C-06 CORDON > REVIEW

Takara Tomy Missing Link C-06 Cordon is a superb continuation of the Missing Link philosophy, faithfully recreating a vintage classic while refining it for modern collectors. This release draws directly from the Diaclone era roots that predate Transformers, celebrating the original mold’s history while presenting it in a striking new form: a white Japanese police car livery that feels both nostalgic and fresh.

FANTASTIC MODEL FM-04 DOC > REVIEW

Fantastic Model FM-04 Doc is an unmistakable homage to the Autobot Chief Medical Officer Ratchet. Following the release of FM-03 Warhorse, this mold returns with a fresh coat of paint and noticeably refined quality control. In many ways, Doc feels like the release this tooling was always meant to be.

FANS TOYS FT-59 SOVEREIGN 2.0 > REVIEW

If you follow me over the various social media outlets (thanks by the way), you may have seen my video review of this new iteration of Galvatron from Fans Toys. And if you have seen said video review, you will recall that I was less than enthused by it. Well, some time has passed now since doing that and so I sat down to write my written review, have things changed?

X-TRANSBOTS MX-25 MAEDAS > REVIEW

MX-25 Maedas is finally here, and with this 3rd and final release, X-Transbots have completed their representation of the Omnibots, the 'Reinforcements from Cybertron'.

FANTASTIC MODEL FM-03 WARHORSE > REVIEW

Fantastic Model FM-03 Warhorse is a bold and striking interpretation of a character instantly recognizable to Transformers fans, a clear homage to the Autobot Security Officer Ironhide.

X-TRANSBOTS MX-45 RAZOR > REVIEW

MX-45 Razor arrives in the Vault and as with most X-Transbots releases, the figure comes with a generous set of accessories, a stylishly designed box and an ambitious attempt to blend cartoon accuracy with transformation engineering. While Razor succeeds in many areas, it also showcases some of the more familiar quirks that X-Transbots collectors have come to expect.

FOUR HORSEMEN: MYTHIC LEGIONS: SIR ENOCH > REVIEW

Four Horsemen Studios continue to push the boundaries of collectible action figures with their ever-growing Mythic Legions line. Among their many standout releases, Sir Enoch holds a special place as a figure that blends history inspired knightly aesthetics with the fantasy mythos that defines the brand.

FOUR HORSEMEN: MYTHIC LEGIONS: CLAVIAN > REVIEW

Four Horsemen Studios have built a strong reputation with their Mythic Legions line, consistently delivering figures that combine fantasy themes, excellent sculpting, and impressive accessories. Clavian, one of the skeletal warriors in the line, is a standout example of what makes this series so beloved. From the moment you see the packaging to the figure itself in hand, Clavian feels like a carefully designed piece that embodies the craftsmanship of the Four Horsemen team.

FOUR HORSEMEN: GRAVEYARD SKELETONS > REVIEW

The Four Horsemen’s Graveyard Skeletons set is a standout release that captures exactly why the studio has earned a reputation as one of the best creators of high-end collectible action figures. From the moment you first see the packaging to the time you have the figure posed on your shelf; the set delivers in almost every way a collector could hope for.

Not Only... But Also... SKELETON LEGION BUILDER 2

Few toy lines blend classic fantasy aesthetics with modern action figure craftsmanship as effectively as Mythic Legions from Four Horsemen Studios. Among the line’s standout offerings is the Skeleton Legion Builder 2, a figure that channels the spirit of classic fantasy cinema while delivering the quality and customization fans have come to expect. Whether you’re a longtime collector or a casual enthusiast of fantasy figures, this undead warrior is worth a closer look.

X-TRANSBOTS MX-44 GRAVEDIGGER > REVIEW

X-Transbots continues to evolve as a third-party company, and their latest entry, MX-44 Gravedigger, shows how far they’ve come. Designed as an homage to the G1 Constructicon Scavenger, this figure captures the classic look while adding modern articulation and improved engineering. It’s not perfect, but it’s another strong release that solidifies X-Transbots’ growing reputation for quality and innovation.

MISSING LINK C-05 SUNSTREAKER > REVIEW

Missing Link C-05 Sunstreaker is a masterful homage to the original 1980’s figure, combining nostalgic design with modern refinement.

MD-005 (KO) SS86 OPTIMUS PRIME > REVIEW

The MD-005 (KO) SS86 Optimus Prime is a figure that strikes an impressive balance between mirroring an already impressive release whilst bringing a multitude of useful accessories. From its modest packaging to its expressive accessories and sculpted details, this is a toy that pays homage to the 1984 classic while embracing contemporary engineering and also offering distinct improvements of the official release.
