If you're a Transformers fan or toy collector, you've likely heard the buzz around 3rd party Transformers. These are unofficial figures made by independent companies — not Hasbro or Takara Tomy — but they’ve taken the collector world by storm.
At Kicks Generation Toys, we're proud to stock a handpicked selection of high-quality 3rd party Transformers that rival, and sometimes surpass, the official releases.
What Are 3rd Party Transformers?
3rd party Transformers are unofficial robot figures inspired by the classic characters we all know and love — Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, and more. These figures are made by fan-driven companies like Fans Toys, Newage, DNA, just to name a few.
They’re known for:
· Superior articulation
· Show-accurate detailing
· Premium materials
· Innovative transformation designs
Unlike KO (knock-off) toys, 3rd party Transformers are original designs that pay homage to existing characters, often filling gaps that Hasbro hasn’t addressed.
Why Collectors Love 3rd Party Transformers
1. Better Quality Control
Many 3rd party manufacturers take pride in precision engineering and sturdy builds, which appeal to adult collectors looking for display-worthy pieces.
2. G1 and IDW Accuracy
Some 3rd party figures stick closely to G1 cartoon aesthetics, while others go full IDW-style, giving fans the best of both worlds.
3. Hard-to-Find Characters
Want a Masterpiece-style Springer? A cartoon-accurate Devastator? 3rd party companies often fill in the blanks that the big brands leave out.
4. Limited Runs = High Value
Most 3rd party releases are made in small batches, which means they hold — and often increase — their value over time.
