Newage Megs is up on TFSExpress, but it's the toon version rather than the toy. £40 too.

Plans to get an Optimus and a Megatron.

Do not discourage him! Shockprowl is buying toys again. We must encourage and nurture his desires.
This sounds fantastic! Do they all scale together being from different companies?

Yes they scale almost perfectly. So far anyway. Some have yet to arrive, but I've done the homework. I'm out of control though! OUT OF CONTTOL! I don't need ANOTHER collection of the same G1 characters! I got Siege/Generations for that! WHAT AM I DOING?!?!?! Thankfully they're relatively inexpensive. AND really nice figures. Youngest loves this scale. She calls them 'The Babbies'. They have adventures of their own or interact with the larger figures. |

And, right on cue, as if by magic, two boxes arrived for me this morning.
'Small Scale' Devastator and Strike Planes!
The Devastator is branded 'Nuclear Warrior War God' (superb name!), which I believe is a KO of the DX9 Devastator. But reviews were good and he was ridiculously cheap at £23! And, you know what? I am so impressed with this set. Individual robots are great, combined robot is great, plastic is solid, quality is good. I'm stunned! And Hook's crane really cleverly folds out to form Devadtator's chest plate! Never seen that before.
The Strike Planes are the MFT three pack. Starscream Skywarp and Thundercracker. Nice. Nice nice nice. Very G1y. A smidge too tall for my mind's eye, but only by a couple of millimetres (and it's perhaps more the fact that Lavenderwave is too short). Same height as Hot Soldiers Soundwave. Really solid figures. This set was £28.

That’s the best kind of Dezzeh. I live legends scale figures myself but I only have IF stuff so far. Some of this Newage stuff I’ve seen is tempting the heck out of me though.

Newage are utterly superb. Beautiful figures. BUT... they can be of a different scale. They're smaller, generally. Harry is smaller than IF Jazz, for example. Therefore unusable in my rapidly growing 'Baby' collection (fear not, Prowl Fans, he stands proud in my Prowl Shrine). But their Cosmos seems a larger scale, and fits just right with the IF cars, the MFT Strike Planes, and Hover, Bomber, Rager and official Legions sized figures. And their Bumblebee is quite simply the finest Bumblebee figure I have ever encountered. Simple perfection (I like my Bumblebees a head smaller than other Minis, so he for great).
.....I give this way too much thought....
I need a Prowl. I need a Prowl, guys. No IF Prowl anyplace. Nnnnggghhhhh....

Bargain Bin Dezzeh has put the breaks on.
I've cancelled Iron Factory Mirage and Hound, reluctantly. Just for now.
But the other DINOBOTS are still on the way, as is Op and Megs. Might save the leaders for Christmas though.

No, but I'm fearful of impending large Siege deliveries, including one Omega Supreme, and thought I'd better chill out a little.
