FansProject Car Crash

Wow.

So I knew I hadn't updated my blog in a long time. Upon logging in and viewing I hadn't even realised it has been since Feb that I last posted something. Pretty terrible! Real life has gotten in the way, and I never got around to doing what I was supposed to do.

Now that's changed!

Earlier this year my friends Chris and Craig got me heavily back into Transformer's collecting. Since then I have started buying 3rd Party toys, and the Takara/Tomy Masterpiece line. And given my love for gestalts back when I was a kid, it was natural for me to start buying the 3rd Party combiners.

Here is FansProject's Car Crash, otherwise known as Not Breakdown. The first limb released for their Intimidator gestalt, otherwise known as Not Menasor.




The Stunticons are all cars (with Motormaster being a truck), and I never owned these as a kid. So when I saw reviews of these limbs I just had to be a part of it. And I'm not disappointed.

Car Crash's alt mode is a more modern day Lamborghini. The lines on him are very sleek, and a decent representation of a fast car.





His robot mode is equally impressive. Car Crash has multiple points of articulation, and given this is my first 3rd Party Transformer, I am incredibly impressed with the quality of the plastic, as well as the engineering. Hasbro/Takara don't really make many Transformers with this much articulation. 



Also everything fits really well into the alt mode.



For my first 3rd Party Transformer, as well as the first Transformer I've owned for a very long time, I am exceptionally impressed. I'm looking forward to when Motormaster is released, and I can combine all the limbs to form Menasor. I'm unsure at this point if I'll leave him displayed combined, or individual. I do need more display space though!
