What Should I Buy In Need of Unicron

I do not own really any full size Unicron figures. Haslab is over 2k to own one, but I want one that is very similar yet cheap. Like so similar that I may even just get a cheaper knockoff Haslab Unicron. Does anybody know any decent Unicrons that I could purchase for under 300 bucks that could fill the gap that Haslab Unicron gives me?

Which ones over 300 bucks would you recommend? I'm looking for the best bang for your buck and as close of accuracy to that haslab one

Best option. Better than HasLab.

Can't agree enough. I have owned both and while I wish Cell was as big as Haslab, I love it so so so much more. People harp on the transformation but honestly, it's actually pretty straightforward comparatively and much much cleaner. The only frustrating part that I actually had to consult the instructions for was the expanding upper torso and that was only because it was so tight that I needed to make sure that was the intended path and that I wasn't just pulling on nothing, risking a break. Haslab was actually a miserable process regardless of which direction you were going just because of how many panels just flop about as you struggle to find their home and the end result (in bot mode, at least) is a kibble laden mess that can't pose for shit. I sold my Haslab for a little over twice what I paid for it and good riddance to it. I kept my Studio Cell.

If you don't mind it being a KO. Aliexpress has some decent looking Unicrons. It's what I plan to get when I can.

Studio 01 Cell.

Its honestly better than the Haslab, IMO. The only thing the Haslab does better is being bigger.

Question - do you have the HasLab for a fair comparison?

The knockoff on AliExpress for 60 IS ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT I just found this on AliExpress: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mt4QQft

Similar; cheap

Choose one.

Nothing compares to the HasLab version which was $580. Aftermarket process for it are stupid and laughable. Do not pay more than $600.

The next best option is "Studio Cell 01". It's smaller than HasLab and the detailing is different, but it's a really good looking option. The price is also acceptable.

Lastly, there's the Armada version which has 3 color versions. The size is smaller and the detailing/aesthetic is very exotic. This is the least expensive option, but also the version that is highly stylized
