    When was the last time we saw this prototype on display or official pictures? Was it that toy show that had hoodlum being held up by a stand?

    I don't think he's ever commented on them. If past experience is anything to go by he only would if FTs intended to implement some of them (or something related). He would say something like "we will lower the arms" or "the head is being tweaked." Dalianjj is a man of few words, but the words he speaks carry great weight. ;)

    Thanks for the info. True that he is a man of few words. Just wish he would say something about this project to give us an update and keep our interests up. I really do hope that Fanstoys tries to make it look more like the photoshopped pics though.

    Keep our interests up? *looks back over the constant stream of posts* Yeah, I can see how that would be a problem. I mean I'm not even planning on getting this but I'm still interested.

    If it's a should joint that moves up and down for transformation, lowering the arms may be possible. I like that photoshopped face better but the stock one isn't bad by any stretch.

    This will replace my official hotrod.. I hate he has very minimal clearance in alt mode!! Hoodlum definitely fix that issue with bigger wheel..anyway, what's the latest update ? Still going on? Dead?

    Do you think Dalianjj busts out these posts when he's getting bitched out by his family over mundane house duties one weekend? ... "I'm a made man goddamit!" :)

    Soo, not to be tin foil hat guy.... but Hoodlum wasn't in any of the Rouge pictures that came out today.

    So he might actually be getting that retooling we are all hoping for. :D

    If they could make it look like this digibash, I'd buy two!

    Will make the same commitment, if it comes out like the right one, will purchase 2. One for alternate mode and one to fight Galvy.

    Yeah i know. I don't mind though. I look forward to the build quality. Im under the impression that Fanstoys use good materials.

    It's still looking pretty rough but if they can fine tune it a little this might just be my first 3p purchase since impossible toys Valkyrie.
