This man, truth he spakes

I just ordered this. This looks pretty badass!

 

[Badvermin]

I recently purchased that Prime figure, very solid. I really like the chrome bits, saved me a ton of time when it came to repainting. Now I'm trying to figure out which SR-71 add-on to get.

This one looks fantastic: FWI-03M Jet Power Upgrade Kit Metallic Finish - Third Party Transforming Toys & Accessories Fans Want It

Great video review of it

I tried googling this but no dice:

Can anyone that owns both MP Magnus and Scoria do a side to side comparison showing scale, please?

Kind of ready to pull the trigger on one, but I need to see that.

Thanks.

Fans Toys reveal prototypes for Perceptor and Reflector,



So their running order is,

FT03 Quakewave ( Shockwave )
FT04 Scoria ( Slag )
FT05 Soar ( Swoop )
FT06 Sever ( Snarl )
FT07
FT08
FT09 Tesla ( Perceptor )
FT10
FT11 Spotter ( Reflector )

Other characters we know they're doing are,

Sludge
Grimlock
Skyfire
Blaster ( Supposed to have been significantly improved from the old proto we saw way back when. )

They've also teased Omega Supreme but I'm kind of sceptical on that until I see a prototype, not because I don't think they can do it, but at the scale FT work at it'll be quite an expensive undertaking for a small company.

Epic!! Absolutely epic!! I can't seem to post my Transformers pics here... resolution is too high...

Didnt take long for the MP-21 repaint to come!

 

[karamazov80]

Damn, that Perceptor is ace. I'll probably have to get him. And Blaster too, if it happens. Reflector looks really good, but they were so marginal to the cartoon that, like Shockwave (who was about 100 times more important than Reflector even!), I doubt I'll go after them.

Damn those are impressive, would love them but not sure I can justify them.

I'm probably the only one but I sometimes wish that 3rd party companies didn't exist...I have way too much choice & characters I want but nowhere near enough money for them lol

If it was only Takara I'd be fine...they don't turn their stuff out quickly enough lol

Hmmm not sure if I need that so might give it a miss.

That looks great! Do we know if that's going to be mass produced, or is just the one off custom?

That jet pack is pretty cool. I'm assuming he used it in the cartoon, though I'm not recalling off hand when. Looks sort of like the GI Joe JUMP. YOJOE.COM | JUMP

 

[thecorsair]

soundwave,
I think having so much choice can be a mixed bag. Like you say it's frustrating if you want a lot of what's on offer and only have a certain budget but it does also help get other characters out there that Takara won't touch in a million years.

They're never doing the other Dinobots, Perceptor or Reflector....they can't even get a better Megatron out the door.

Btw I'll send a reply to your PM later today.

 

[Sith_fire30]

Probably already answered but....

I recently purchased the Asia reissue masterpiece Skywarp (sold my original a year or two ago so happy to have him back). Do you think there is a chance Takara will reissue Thundercracker in MP packaging as an Asia exclusive as well??

I think it's more likely a new version will be released using the MP11 mold.

I never remember him using it in the cartoon except for Sideswipe's small one. I believe his is a Michael Bay thing, but am not a Transformer expert by any means.

 

[karamazov80]

I found this from a quick google search. Apparently he used one in a Dinobot Island episode.

Interesting since sometimes the Autobots could just fly around on their own without such a thing

 

[franpincho]

Yeah, I never understood why most first gen Autobots weren't able to fly. Freaking Optimus couldn't.

I resisted Fantoys offerings long enough. I agree, these are probably characters TT will never touch, so I'm down.

Is Scoria still available at a decent price anywhere?
