I want to know if this thing is Kosher or not. Was it made with Griffith76's permission, or did someone KO a copy of his kit?? I hope for his sake this was done with his knowledge and permission. To my knowledge, he sold his kit to Rabbid Squirrel Productions. Who is this company credited for making THIS kit?
The model kit has been re-designed and produced as a ready-to-play firgure by MMC group which was formed by Griffith himself according to the article from his blog MONOLOG: LOG028: FORMATION OF MASTERMIND CREATION
Griffith made two of these. The first one was sold to Rabbid Squirrel, who have full rights to that version (I think). Then Griffith made a 2nd version, which also was used to make the model kits of his. He then hooked up with members from one of the other fangroups to form Master Mind Creations and are releasing this full figure based off his second version of HOS Prime. So Griffith is very much involved.
Come on BBTS... get 'er done! I've cruised through the thread and don't see how tall this thing is. I keep thinking it looks like a Titanium figure, and may find it's home near them on my display shelf.
I don't want to sound redundant but has anyone heard whether any other online retailer will be carrying this product?
if $80 is a steep price for you for an original sculpt, fan made fully transforming figure, than i hate to think what you think of a $60 mass produced mass market, run of the mill leader class figure. This hearts of steel prime can easily fetch a price of 3x or 4x the $80 asking price $80 is a god damn steal for this kind of workmanship.
I emailed BBTS yesterday stating my interest in the product, and I have heard nothing. If they do not reply by late today, I will probably just give my business to Robot Kingdom (even though their shipping rates are nuts). I will not risk this selling out.
