    I don't know how the arms attach but considering the main things tweaked in that digibash are the height of the arms and the face... You'd think making those changes would be extremely difficult.

    Does anyone really think Fanstoys is going to redo this the way the digi bash is? I sure as hell don't... Back off a bit fellas... Let them work before they become addicted to Prozac due to fanboy anxiety

    Y'know...Fans Toys is really trying to break my willpower with all of this awesome stuff in the pipeline.

    I'm honestly considering getting their movie bots.

    It's not out of the realm of possibility. FT has tweaked designs in the past from proto to realease version. It may not be a tweak to that digibash in particular but it may be tweaked.

    Tweaked is a possibility... But a lot of you guys backed them into a corner by saying you won't buy it unless it looks like that... Let em work, and leave em be. I'm sure they took certain things into consideration. The quicker that happens the quicker you can get your hands on the final product.

    Okay everyone you heard the boss - stop talking about what you want to talk about!

    What, he's not the boss? Then why is he telling us what to do?

    Because it's the internet you say? Oh I see. Ok, carry on then.

    Step into my office.... You're fired....

    Oh I'm sorry, am I telling you what to do?? Or just suggesting you lay off a bit so you don't cry when you don't get what you want?

    Love,
    THE INTERNET

    Gonna be honest, I was already sold on what they've shown thus far. But if it looks half as good as the digibash I'd pre-order two in a heartbeat.

    Forgive me for the no new news bump. But I was trying to find the last time we saw anything on this guy. I think it was a toy show displaying him on a stand to keep him up. When was that?

    Does anyone know if this is going to have decent shoulder articulation or will it suck like things with tall shoulders normally do? MP-9 and DX9 Carry have severe limitations. @dalianjj ?

    I like the old one, and not the digibash one, because the old one looks likes a Cybertronian. Plus, the old one is articulated at the shoulder joint, and you just have to push the arms down to level them off. They raised them a little in the picture to make him look more dominant and imposing.
    p.s. I bought 2 new KO MP-28's for dirt cheap and I am very happy with the value for money purchase. This is how big the Transformer toys should be: no more than 7 and a half inches (it can't be bigger than my wilko). Plus, it just about levels with my fave Galvie, Mania King. The only regret is that the backpack is not like how it was in the cartoons and is too bulky (couldn't they have just made it detachable, and then you can transform it into a picnic basket for Roddie?). Also, I would have made a Rodimus Prime toy the MP 28 size, and made a Hot Rod figure slightly smaller. Still, they got the proportions right after the horror of the huge MP-09. Small and neat- not 'War in the Pocket' size because that will encourage bestiality.

    Ah, I thought I missed it in one of the U.S stores.


    Shouldn't he cost the same as Koot?

    I'm guessing placeholder as he's no bigger than Koot who is $99.99.
