I contemplated going the DX9 route also but never followed through (sounds like a life lesson), so I have 3 partial MP Menasors all laying around. The lack of paint is kind of what keeps me from being fully-onboard with DX9. I am most likely going to just wait on FT or Zeta if they ever decide to release one.
So, have you seen the other version being released soon? I forget the name of the manufacturer – new 3P brand, as far as I can tell – but it looks superb. I think it’s supposed to be released in 2022. You should check it out. I’d bet that if you just searched for Stunticons on TFW, you’d find it.
Anyhow, I’m really glad that I went in on DX9 for Menasor. I added the printed insignia and am going to grab a support bar for Henry to stabilize him and aside from that, he’s pretty much perfect.
That said I’m selling my XTB individuals – apart from Gravestone – now. Already sold Dead End and have an offer on the other three. I’m buying the FT Breakdown or Wildrider in the next day or so and probably starting on the other two of them available as soon as I can. If you do end up parting with your FT guys, if you want to let me know, I can all but guarantee that you’d have a buyer if I don’t have them by then.
The holiday was just a good time for me to start on non-combined combiner groups. MMC’s Combaticons are the other one. I should just put them all in a cart and start pre-ordering them now, but will probably end up waiting.
It’s just not very gratifying buying one part of a five-figure set.
