    Definitely getting the feet! Looking forward to the hands. Any ETA on when those prototypes will be available?

    Feet look great! Can you take a pic of Superion with the new feet but without the thigh pieces?

    Production starts at the end of this month in the order of whatever sell the most.
    I'll snag a picture for you later tonight. =)

    Next reveal is rubber tires for CW combiners. Starting with Menasor. They'll be selling as full sets. 26 tires in total. They're expensive at $40 for the full set, but if enough sell I can knock the price down when I do Defensor.
    Tires have a hard plastic rim with medical/food grade silicone used as the tires. This is the same stuff they use in baking trays so don't worry about wear or turning brittle.

    Still waiting on my ratchets and blackjack attachment point for Menasor. I hope things are coming soon.

    I got four sets of ratchets total. Two for Superion and Menasor and two extra for potential future retools.

    That's good, I think I may get a pair for my Takara Motormaster

    Appreciate it! I don't use Twitter so thanks for the update!

    ------

    Nonnef, I wonder if it would be possible to make a gap filler for Menasor's chest? Something that prevents the chest flaps from sorta collapsing in on each other but still has space for the head when closed. Doesn't need to be fancy, black would work. Hell, even if I had to glue it in. I don't plan to ever use the open chest mode so this might be a way to "bulk up" the chest.

    Would love to hear your thoughts on it. Or if anyone else agrees for that matter.

    "Gears have been moved to in stock and are shipping the same day. Blackjack adapter started shipping last week and the first few dozen made it out before I was informed of a flaw in the mold. I'm reprocessing them all and anyone that already got one will be receiving a second.
    Some shipping labels have been printed but haven't actually been shipped until the new ones are ready."


    Pre-orders are opening today.

    Not really sure there's any demand for something like that.
    I'd be more than willing to make it, but keep in mind its upwards of several hundred to design and make a mold even for a simple piece.

    Yeah, thought not :( 

    I just wish the chest doors closed better. Not that big of a deal though, compared to the other things you've fixed.

    I don't have any version of CW Menasor/Optimus, but I do have plans to get Optimus Maximus, Takara Optimus, Motormaster and Grand Scourge in the future. Is this 'collapsing chest' that much of a problem?


    Okay, preordered a few bits and pieces. Finally, my Superion will have proper feet. I'll see how things turn out but I'll definitely be ordering more add-ons. I just need to get a few more Combiners in hand first, or at least get a better idea of what's coming my way.

    On my MM it was (I'm getting a replacement but not due to the chest) but it's not a deal breaker. I just couldn't get the chest parts to fold closed correctly so it looked like one was more over the top (and taller) than the other side.

    Did the feet sell out already or have they not yet been listed for pre-order?

    Choose your feet. I was going order the Galvatronus thigh filler as well, but I want to see how Takara's Unite Cyclonus turns out. Those guys must be planning Unite Sweeps.

    So I preordered the white hands and feet for Superion. I was wondering if you could put up a picture of Menasor with Breakdown and Offroad or Wildrider in the reverse position to see how the feet would look on Menasor that way. I plan to display my Menasor in the classic G1 style, and I imagine I am not the only one. I am just a little worried that the feet which look great on Superion might be a little undersized for Menasor. I hope I am wrong, though, as I definitely feel your hands will be better than the PE set, and I don't want to spend $30 on just a set of feet from PE.
