    Given the Caesium delays, it's a little frustrating.

    I'm still bummed about the Seeker fingers. Sovereign had fabulous hand articulation and Phoenix upp'd the ante (although admittedly with a bigger toy had more room to play). Don't like going backwards.

    I really hope those fingers get changed for the final release.

    The middle or right Cheeb color options look great to me. I feel like most companies won't get the subtlety of the pink/lavender/whatever color right so better to not risk it looking weird.

    In all fairness, Galvatron has been inside Cyclonus.

    I have to say, after FT Arcee, this is the most exciting figure release in the mp scale, and then FT Hydra.

    I have to say that IDW head and swords and addon look so damn cool, and I like the normal and angry face too a lot, and there will be a target master too.

    But I hope this will be more FT super built quality, and hope it is pf only because of the different artist used.

    I honestly hope they make the chest and lower legs more Robust and rounded. While it looks solid, it's a bit too slender and blocky!

    Is that a Targetmaster in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?

    I still haven't heard any good reason for this either and it seems odd. Like could a PF Cyclonus release first and then FT does another one later on?

    Maybe there is 2 different artists (designers) that he is associated with and he wants to keep them separete? I don't really know, but I hope that is all it is. I guess time will tell, and there being no preorders yet makes me feel it could be a looong time :(

    Maybe.

    But it seems if the companies were going to be "sister" companies, they wouldn't produce competing products.

    You'd pick the best design and run with it.

    I wonder if @dalianjj really just wants to run two independent companies, and is sharing production resources.

    I mean, it's no big deal, except that I can't see buying the PF one with a possible "FT" release still looming, no matter how good the PF one is.

    I'd have to know from Dalianjj that FT is dropping the character, otherwise I'd definitely wait to see what they do.

    I'm starting to imagine Sweeps dressed as bridesmaids.

    while the quality will surely be better than xtb, there a certain je ne sais quoi about quietus making him appear more mechanical and less refined than xtb's. jury is out!

    Thanks for letting us know. Did you happen to ask why under PF vs FT?

    Sadly no. He's typically fairly short due to being busy. He just said only PF will produce a cyclonus.....But who knows that could change.... you never know?

    I don't know honestly. If the materials and quality of Caesium are what we're basing that off of, I can't say that this will definitively be better in hand than Eligos. I think aesthetic preferences will really be the deciding factor here as you implied. I do love my Sovereign though, if it's any way possible to match this figure's in-hand feel and refinement as their Galvatron, I'd be 100% sold.

    i was just basing off general FT quality. seems premature to judge based on Caesar since he's not out, is he? I'm an FT hater but I try to give them a fair shake.

    Cesium hit the States this past week. I've unfortunately had QC issues on my copy, but others seem to have had better luck thus far. In hand though he feels nice, but certainly not to the same level as Stomp, Grinder, or even Sovereign.
