my case is because of price. lf its the same price as the road shogun head, then it'll cost me $30 shipped. if its on shapeways and i wait for free shipping, then i spend somewhere around $16. also i don't mind the quality of shapeways' parts.
After you mentioned it, I couldn't resist, I borrowed the render and did a little photoshopping to check out the design in those colors
I did my own version in purple originally, before re-proportioning the design to fit the combiner body. I may do a super limited run of it.
Oh nice nice nice! I could see the Purple variant work as a pitch for a Hybridized form. as the pure white and Blue it actually brings to mind the prospect of Tailgate forming the head for the combiner. By the by, any ideas for the limbs to be other Lost Light folks? I could very well see a whirl on Alpha Bravo with some paint.
I'm planning to display the combiner with Trailbreaker, Mirage, Sunstreaker and Hound. Since they're all part of the LL crew (or were).
how much will each version be? i really want it! but now i don't know which version to get, the white version and make him combine with the leftover protectobots to become "gate guardian", or give him a entirely different team? gah!?!?!
I won't be able to make it to TFCon, but if you ever do a run of these in your store I'd buy one in a heartbeat.
Wow! Will this be available through the RF store or is it a TFCon exclusive? I will most definitely buy this along with your MTMTE Cyclonus head if it's in the RF store, but there's no way I'll be able to attend TFCon in Toronto.
At some point I'll offer it online. Probably along side the Cyclonus kit, since it makes sense with him. Here are test shots.
