    Not an exclusive, I'm sure, but yes, I do have the info and it will be going up, along with (finally) the Mech Ideas jumpstarters and possibly the Longblast kit. I'm just trying to finish getting the huge pile of orders out the door...the fact that the post office wouldn't schedule a pickup this entire week is not helping.

    Aha... was trying to figure this out. Just assumed the muzzle was partsforming like G1. So it sort of slips on to the existing backpack?

    Still pinching myself that both Soundwave and Shockwave are being produced on MP levels. Strange days indeed.

    I'm happy to say I just placed my first order with Sidecutter & CP yesterday. =) This and MP Ravage/Rumble might be the next ones. I've been pretty loyal to BBTS over the years, taking advantage of their PoL, but they're not a good price for single orders IMO. I'd probably have bought MP Soundwave from CP if BBTS didn't honor the original preorder price for it.
    Here's hoping I can scrounge up the cash for it!

    The muzzle IS the backpack.

    The part that formed the backpack in G1 folds down and becomes the inner legs.

    Agreed. And to think that we owe getting them both (at least getting them both in '13) to the good guys down at FansToys! :wink: 

    Keep up the good work guys! :thumbs2:

    Surprised not to see it else where yet!

    I don't think so... The butt of the gun for FT-03, becomes the backpack.


    BTW, here's Toy - G1 Shockwave:

    And as you can see, the cable is on top.

    No the butt is part of the legs. Check out all the hinges on that muzzle. I don't know how it gets there (most likely partforming) but it does fold inside out and the inside is purple.

    Muzzle is backpack. There's a close up of the gun mode where you can see the hinges on the muzzle.

    I'm hoping for a test shot review soon. I'm curious on how the handle separates then shifts towards the outer legs

    Ditto. It really is a well thought out design.

    I don't see how I am being negative by saying I would like to see this toy in Classic size. That is providing a constructive comment about what I would improve on the toy.

    How would a Classic size version be too small to hold as a real gun? The Classic version was real gun size. This is upscaled from it.

    The original was 22 centimeters tall. How tall is this one?

    i know, right? we'll be sure to show you.
    :) 


    on a separate note, ive never seen a thread turn to shite like this one has - its about 95% garbage.
    these dudes have VENTURED to give us the two most sought after [yet, strangely, most denied until they decided to do it], MPs. and then theyre gone come in the thread and talk to you and ask you waht you want.
    and give it you.
    and yet, we find reason...

    I've seen a lot more chaotic/shitfilled threads than this.
    The only reason I still haven't decided on this is because I don't want to buy this, then read about a Takara release the next day.
    Yes, FT has some bawls to go into the MP territory, but how wise is it to try to combat Takara in their own turf? I really hope FT will succeed.



    If MP Shockwave is announced soon, I'm certain FT is TT's secret market research team.
