    Update 6/24/2015

    Infromation from PWTToo.

    -The new KS will be late this year or early next.
    -There will be 8 figures in the KS, 4 variants of Boneyard and 4 variants of Jetstrike.
    -The pricing structure of the upcoming KS will be simplified (one price for any 1 figure, another price for any 2, and another price for any 3, etc.)
    -Stretch goals will not be revealed until the KS is about 75% funded.
    -Tech drones have been redesigned, and will probably be stretch goals.
    -Jetstrike and Boneyard have been redesigned to share some common parts.
    -Desolataur buck is being redesigned for more articulation.
    -Ankhor/Mainsail design is being redone to use some parts from Boneyard/Jetstrike

    Play With This Too has revealed the first images of one of the figures to be part of their revival.

    According to Facebook responses, they plan to have printed and painted prototypes before the new Kickstarter begins. A definite improvement! I think people will like seeing the physical toys.

    Something appears to be...missing...that was in the original concept.

    Not rendered yet or not in the remix?

    Wow. Much better than before. I had no intentions on getting Boneyard but if the new kickstarter goes up I could see myself pledging again.

    Looks great. Hope this next Kickstarter is successful, and that PWTT has learned a bit about promoting their stuff themselves and not letting fans try to do it.

    If this Kickstarter isn't successful, what will PWTT do?

    Play With Something Else?

    Looks very Masters of the Universe-ish, but very nice.

    I hope they still have tech drones AND that the tech drones feature more articulation. Give us Legends quality and articulation and i'm all in.

    Why couldn't they just make a actual 3rd party Pretender with a robot inside?

    With that triceratops head, you know who this reminds me of a little? With the alternate head robot, and right deco, and plugging the dino-head right into the fist, you could do Guildedart and his recolors. Even the chest sorta matches, if flipped around.

    Because that would be too much of a rip-off.

    Huh. So are they dropping the little drone gimmick?

    And to offer feed back, that looks neat. Neat enough that I'd buy it.

    From an overall toy perspective, these are looking much better. The renders look great.

    Hopefully they can smooth out the business end of things, as well as their PR.

    I wonder how Boneyard would look riding on the back of MP Grimlock? Sort of a reverse of the way Pretender Goryu used to ride his shell in TF Victory. I mean who needs a tiny T-Rex when you can have him riding a real beast?

    You're right. What's a bit little bit more ripping off anyway?

    Small things.

    1. Slap your logo in here as your avatar. It's really easy to overlook your posts in these threads without an avatar. It'll be easier to squelch rumors/bad info or drop info if it's coming from PWTToo's official account. Where under your avatar it says Autobot, Decepticon, Stunticon, whatev, can be changed to a custom message. "PWTToo's Official Account" would look great there.

    2. Get a sig that links to your site and has a neat piece of art. If appealing to the members of this board is important, stand out and kind of identify yourself.
