Its been a while since i posted anything on my blog. For the last 3 weeks i was in Japan for family vacation (it is a nice country by the way and it offers something for anyone). Yes i bought lots of toys there :), but my Pandinus also arrived the day i was going home. I have waited Pandinus for a long time, and as soon as i received the package, i couldn't helped myself and start playing with the gargantuan robot (the haul from my Japan vacation can wait)
By the way, i have very little knowledge or memory about this Pandinus character. I only know that it is based on Scorponok design.
What a series it has been. Guardia is finally complete and again thanks to Victory Toys, for sending me Vulcan pre-release sample to me. I'm thankful and fortunate enough to have a look at Guardia ahead of time because the wait is extremely excruciating.
The wait is now over, and i'll say it out loud that Guardia is amazing....
As a matter of fact, i dont mind if you skip reading the review for Guardia and just buy the whole series directly because it is that good.
At long last, the last member of Guardia, MTCM-04C Vulcan is here.
First and foremost, i would like to express my sincere gratitude the the fine people behind Victory Toys, for sending this Vulcan sample for me to take a look and to transform him (along with other 4 robots) as Guardia.
Victory Toys is Maketoys representative and distributor for their product for Indonesia market.
Apparently, Maketoys did send similar Vulcan sample to other country and territory as well for pre-release review and hands-on. I'm very fortunate and privileged to be able to get a hold on one of the sample. Shortly after this review i will be releasing another review, dedicated just for Guardia in combined form.
But for now, let's take a look at Vulcan.
Fans Project Lost Exo Realm is a stylized and modern interpretation of G1 dinobots team. It was announced back in 2014 and Fans Project had a plan for 6 dinobots members, with 5 of those members will be based on standard G1 dinobots and 1 original Fans Project character. Who knew that FP will continue this series and expanded the number of character more.
To date, we already have LER-01 Columpio (Sludge), LER-02 Cubrar (Slag), LER-03 Volar (Swoop) and the recently released LER-04 Severo (Grimlock). This time we will be looking a deeper look at LER-04 Severo.
Last robot before we wait for the big Vulcan is MTCM-04E Katana, who is based on Blades. Katana will form the right hand of Guardia. Maketoys opted to release Vulcan (MTCM-04C) as the last robot to be release, and i hope that Vulcan (as a torso) will be very solid, have a good connector joint and be able to support the other 4 limbs member when combined.
Let's quickly look at Katana for now
Let's not stop while we are on the roll and quickly look into the next release for Maketoys Guardia member. This time is the MTCM-04D Himed, which is based on First Aid character (part of Protectobots team)
With the great releases of the first 2 members: Axle and Rover, my expectations for this figure is already high enough.
Let's look at it in more detail
Next on the line is MTCM-04B Rover, 2nd member of Maketoys Guardia combiner (Not-Defensor). Maketoys has been on the roll and keep raising the bar for every releases. The Axle, that i previously reviewed here, was a testament to Maketoys's commitment to make the best product while maintaining the outstanding quality and enjoyment. Their price is usually on the high side. But with Maketoys, the money spent will be worth it.
Rover is based on Streetwise character, and it will form as one of the leg for Guardia.
