Getting close to having all of the current AMTS Combiners. I also have the red Cheetah + Gazella, but I got lazy after transforming all of these 😅. Just missing Icarus (non-Elite), Deep One (non-Elite), and Landbreaker (non-Elite). Pictured:

- Hercules: Toxotes (torso) + Patagona (legs)

- Hermes Evo: Cheetah Evo (torso) + Gazelle Evo (legs)

- Landbreaker Elite: Mole (torso) + Groundhog (legs)

- Deep One Elite: Monkfish (torso) + Lobster (legs)

- Icarus Elite: Eagle (torso) + Raven (legs)

- Moonwalker-ish: Endymion (torso) + Actaeon (legs)

For the Endymion + Actaeon combo, I deviated from the instructions and made up something that I think works. Kinda tempted to get another set of these two to be able to do the twin combos (Actaeon + Actaeon).

I might spend a weekend in the future taking shots of every suggested/hinted at combo in the instructions for these. I love how flexible the newer AMTS figures are and how you can get really creative with combining them.

Wondering if we'll see elite versions of Toxotes/Patagonia and Actaeon/Endymion in the future.

Really love the new Crystal Clear version of Baihu, Titouhu. One of my favorite molds in general, this translucent blue version really looks great.

The Crystal Clear dragon Jingyinglong looks good as well, but I feel like the dragon just doesn't compare when it comes to poseability. If you like water/ice dragons though, this one is definitely for you!

Each come with a character card and unique box charger. The character cards were a nice addition, especially since not all megabox/infinitybox figures come with one. They're the new style cards, so no flavor text/description on the back, which is something I miss a bit. These cards also seem to be more likely than the old style cards to come warped.

Overall great set, it's just disappointing it's a limited version that's difficult to get for a reasonable price if you're outside of China. I think the lowest I've seen so far on eBay is $160 with shipping.

Shared on the official instagram and Facebook pages, these blind box Fossil Dinos were announced this morning, coming soon. Each dino comes with and combines with a vehicle: T-Rex + Tank, Monsasaurus + Drone, Mammoth + Motorbike. There's a clear green (maybe glow in the dark?), and the "secret" figure is a red version of the T-Rex.

You can combine them all in unique ways and make your own combiner out of them.

I do wish they had a bit more paint to them, instead of it being completely flat plastic, but they look like fun either way!

Got the Modern Ancients museum figures in the mail a couple of weeks ago. Baihu and Qinglong are pretty solid, with the color scheme and details on Baihu being particularly good. The Pottery Horse figure is somewhat underwhelming, largely due to the limitations of the Lava mold (in my opinion). Had it been a repaint of the Godspeed mold instead, it would probably be a lot easier to recommend. It does have really interesting packaging though, but it would have been nice if it had also come with a standard size character card instead of just an oversized card relating to the artwork it's modeled after.

Overall, I'd recommend the Qinglong and Baihu 2-pack if you're in China and can pick them up directly from the museum, if you just REALLY love those molds, or if you want to collect the rare and hard-to-find figures. Otherwise, not really worth the high cost on Ebay.

From the 52toys BeastBox Facebook page, these are going to be shown at SDCC end of the month. Still no word on when we'll see the Phoenix, though I'd bet they'll show the uncolored model again. I think Diana and the Roboforce combined look great, and I'm looking forward to making a centaur out of Diana and Godspeed.

From what I've gathered, this limited edition gift set released today in 52Toys stores in China. The set includes the crystal dragon Jingyinglong, and the translucent tiger Titouhu, and each have their own unique box chargers.

I'm making an assumption that it's released in 52toys stores, as the announcement I saw just said limited edition store gift set. Can't wait to see them up on EBay for $200, much like the museum gift set 😭.

Got my Final Battle Dio in today. Package arrived smashed, which is super disappointing for a limited-run collectors edition. While it definitely looks cool, I feel like it also doesn't quite warrant the price tag needed to snag it. When comparing to the other 7cm figures like Oasis, Safezone, and Hurrican/Metalburrn, the play value feels a little lacking. It comes with 3 black and gold Hexanoid pilots, but there's no where to put the pilots in Dio, which feels like an obvious miss, unless I'm just missing something obvious.

Overall, Final Battle Dio just doesn't seem like a premium figure to me for such a limited release 7cm figure. I know Dio is supposed to be "simple", but it feels a bit light and cheap, especially compared to many of 52toys recent releases.

It's probably safe to assume a traditional yellow variant will come out later this year, so if you want a big Dio, I'd recommend holding out for that one over dropped $100+ to get one of these.

Since I was late to joining the BeastBox party, I've just started collecting the VIP/subscription figures when I find them. I think I'm just missing Black Waltz and the VIP versions of Deathmatch and Sacredpower Robo.

Really love the flip out tongue gimmick for Lovetrap, and the colors really pop. The coffee mug that came with is cool, but too small for daily use 😅, so it'll probably stay in the box.
