Review: Tecrom Designs- Spike

Review of Tecrom Designs, Spike. The second in the series of three Witwicky family members looks just as great as the first, Daniel. Great attention to detail and fantastic design of these memorable characters from Transformers the Movie. These statues are printed by Shapeways in sandstone so they are very fragile. Note to all that all human models printed in Full Color Sandstone are in scale and all human models printed as mini-figures are in scale with one another. Tecrom Designs were submitted to Hasbro/Shapeways’ joint venture called Superfanart. In this program Hasbro has made their various brands available to artist to re-interpret them in 3D models. The brands include: Transformers, G.I. Joe, Dungeons & Dragons, My Little Pony, Dragonvale, Monopoly and Scrabble. Superfanart will be reviewing all artists designs, and those that are approved, will be granted an “Official Hasbro License.” Selected designs will be featured on Shapeways.com as “SUPERFANART.” These models will be sanctioned by Hasbro and will be made available for purchase legally at both Shapeways and the www.superfanart.com website.

Spike 6.8 inch statue printed in Full Color Sandstone (no painting required) soon to be available here: http://www.shapeways.com/model/2140200/spike-homage-space-man-6-8inch-full-color-statue.html?li=shop-results&materialId=100 He’s based on Spike Witwicky from the Transformers G1 animated series as he appeared on the 1986 Transformers animated movie. The full figure is also available as a Spike 2 inch mini-figure here: http://www.shapeways.com/model/1949099/spike-homage-space-man-2inch-transformers-mini-fig.html?li=shop-results&materialId=100 This mini-figure is not colored but will be in scale with Deluxe class or Masterpiece scale Transformers. Also, I have Spike’s head, as an add-on kit that can go with the Fall of Cybertron Deluxe Class Jazz figure. With this fully colored head, you can make Spike into a 4 inch G.I. Joe Scale figure in an Exosuit!! Can you say Transformers/G.I. Joe Crossover!! Please see Spike exosuit head add-on kit here: http://www.shapeways.com/model/1790158/spike-homage-exosuit-head-for-tf-foc-jazz.html?li=shop-results&materialId=100
Toy Review: Transformers Generations Jetfire

Toy Review: Transformers Generations Jetfire by Hasbro. Its always exciting to see a new mold of Jetfire. Jetfire has always been one of my very favorite Autobots since G1. At first glance I see an awesome IDW artist’s artwork on the very cool Generations line box. I love boxes and feel that every figure should come in one so they can be taken out and placed back in whenever you want. The figure looks great. He is a great size and has really nice simple detail. The head has a removable battle mask that reveals his really cool face sculpt with great head rotation. The arms have great tight ratchet joints at the shoulder and bend at the elbow. The size of this figure should have allowed for added articulation for better posing, too bad. No waist movement. Legs also have a tight ratchet joint with some nice movement. The lack of articulation doesn’t get in the way of my enjoyment of this figure. I don’t like the amount of hollow parts in the arms, legs and the red chrome eyesore paint on the accessories. Red chrome can be remedied, check out the video below this post to find out how. The transformation on the figure is very easy and nicely engineered. The airplane mode looks glorious and yes, it has landing gear. Cockpit door opens up and I wish I had a little guy to put in there. I love this figure. I’m very pleased with the work that was put into this guy. Thank you, Hasbro!

Toy Review: Boba Fett Prototype Armor

Toy Review of Hasbro’s Star Wars Black Series, Boba Fett in Prototype Armor. Let me start by saying, THANK YOU! I love this figure. I cant believe I got one since its exclusive to Walgreens and I have yet to ever see him again since. Full articulation, great accessories and awesome pose ability. This figure is a must have for all Star Wars fans. My only wish was that add the extra head like in the send away version. The Ralph Mcquarrie original design. Again, AWESOME!

Review: Tecrom Designs- Daniel. Great detail on these statues of our favorite humans in the Transformers Universe. Tecrom paid great attention to detail and really shows true homage to these characters. These are statues printed by Shapeways in sandstone so they are very fragile. Note to all that all human models printed in Full Color Sandstone are in scale and all human models printed as mini-figures are in scale with one another. Tecrom Designs were submitted to Hasbro/Shapeways’ joint venture called Superfanart. In this program Hasbro has made their various brands available to artist to re-interpret them in 3D models.
