Re: CHUG KO/OS/3rd Party/Undersized Reviews & Recommendations

I'm not fond of the combiner sizes when it comes to CHUG, I like them to be big and really imposing. Ready to lift Optimus Prime in one hand and chuck him across the landscape kinda big and these guys fill that role. I also tend to prefer the individual bots in a team over their combined mode hence why I don't display standard CHUG combiners.

This trio scales well with each other. The biggest of them is Devy but that extra height is in the shoulders. Devy itself stands just below Siege Omega Supreme head when compared head to head.

The Devy is endlessly fiddly and takes a while to get standing proper but once done he is glorious. Just don't expect any majorly dynamic poses. Looks absolutely great on a shelf and comes at a decent price for something that size. Mine is also equipped with the upgrade kit but not the knee attachments as that makes him too tall for my purposes. In saying that the knee attachment actually adds a bunch more stability to the figure. At the head this guy stands about a half head taller than the official CW Devy but he is much much thicker. Overall quality is great but damn this is fiddly as heck. He sells for about $160 after shipping and then another $20-$30 for the upgrade kit.

The Bruticus is just like the Devy but with a bit more stability to it. There are no upgrade kits for this guy as far as I know. He sells for about $130 after shipping.

The superion is an up-scaled combiner wars superion and is really good quality. I find this guy to be the most stable, he is also the lightest of the three which I'm sure contributes to that stability. You can pull great poses with this guy if you choose to. He comes with upgraded hands and feet despite being a combiner wars KO. The OS Devy's head stands to the top of this guys antenna. This guy sells for about $160 delivered.

As Titan class sized combiners I like these guys. Size wise they also go well with the official/weijiang Predaking. A case can be made about how stylized the Bruticus and Devy are but I like it personally.

It's hard to recommend these to a CHUG collector but for my purposes I love them.

Wouldn't recommend for an MP collection, just not MP enough but the price is great. Makes you see just how overpriced official figures are considering how much plastic is pumped into these for the price.
