    So I received Guttur today and he is extremely awesome. The size is impessive but what is most appealing to me is the amazing paint job this guy is sporting. I didn't thing I would prefer it to the chrome of FT's, but odly I do very much.

    I have all the FT Dibots so far, but now having this new and different offering has me excited to see where Gigapower goes with the line.

    So my question is will they finish it? Or will I be waiting in vain. Also when is the last anyone has heard from them?

    whole line was cancelled AND they recalled Guttur due to minor issues with radioactivity in the paint used, people started growing weird plates on their spines...

    Don't remember when their last major communication was, but the last we heard from them, they were in the middle of switching factories since they weren't happy with the number of flaws that crept into Guttur's final production run. That kind of process probably takes a bit of time to deal with. If they can get that sorted out, then it's likely full steam ahead from there on out.

    From what I've heard there is news that Sirtoys is apparently releasing the oversize KO set even if Gigapower doesn't finish theres,somehow Sirtoys must have gotten ahold of a complete set or either copied GP's designs,but my point is just wait till ST releases there's and you will have voyager size figures that are cheaper to boot.Just my 2 cents.

    Are you talking about the same thing here? Because you can't KO a "set" for which there is currently only one. And upsizing GP's Dinobots certainly won't result in something "Voyager" sized, but rather, something "ludicrous"-sized.

    As much as I love the Fanstoys diobots, I like the gigapower gutter even more. For me it's the paint application. I don't like the mismatched chrome and odd red color variations on my scoria, although I love the figure itself.

    No offense but this statement makes absolutely no sense to me. Are you confusing companies? GP is making the largest dinos out of any company and to upscale them would be downright ludicrous. And I have no idea where your voyager comment comes into play because that would be downsizing...

    I really hope they finish as well. The alternatives other than FansToys Stomp, are pretty unappealing to me.

    I could care less if they do. Gutters legs hanging out was a bad choice but that was the only thing different from fanstoys sever besides it being uglier.
    If they do come back if much rather them do a skyfire

    I don't think they'll continue, but I'd like to see them prove me wrong.

    In the meantime, I'll have my Fans Toys Dinos on my shelf :)

    They haven't showed a prototype of their second, just drawings. Also read somewhere their designer quit. It will probably be a while before they continue.

    Hearsay? The Guttur thread would be in an absolute frenzy if this were the case, but it's not.

    My guttur who is still waiting for replacement joints for his legs suspects that no, they may not finish.
