    This mold works well in Classic collections too, as a full sized robot.

    I hope that, like past TFCon exclusives, this will be readily available for a decent price after the con.

    Thank you! Everyone seemed so concerned whether this was a bad joke or not that I thought I was the only one who could see that error. I feel the same way whenever a news poster gets "it's" and "its" confused on the front page; that seems to be every news poster.

    Eter since the news story was posted, that was all I could see. Didn't even get through the bio because it bugged me so much. I didn't want to point it out but it looks like you guys have done it for me :lol 

    Anyways, in relation to the figure itself, I think it's really awesome that this is happening. I love the idea of a convention exclusive for the non-official cons, and this is a pretty ambitious project. Still can't believe it's actually happening.

    People can have typos in forums posts, that's fine, but I think it's important to point them out in bios so they can correct them before the box is printed!

    $180 to get it delivered? Seems a tad much, but you never know if these things will be cheaper or more expensive after. Stronghold, Nightbird and Shafter ended up cheaper later, while guys like Toxin and Powered Commander went up.

    The way I look at it... I'll wait til after to see if it goes down like most of the others. If it does, great. I'll likely get it. If it doesn't, oh well, it's not a necessary purchase anyway..

    Glad someone pointed out the "than/then" discrepancy. I wish people were taught in school that the only accepted length of an ellipsis is three periods: "..." and not ".................................."
    I know I'm not perfect, but that one really bugs me.

    Some other things you may not know about Shafter...

    Shafter is such a folk legend in the United States...

    Could you take a picture of him with some Hasbro toys for comparison? Maybe G1 Erector and 2007 movie Mudflap?

    I can't wait to wrap my hands around the big Shafter! I already have the 2012 small Shafter, but it makes me feel inadequate.

    First Micromaster, then Scout size, now a Voyagers size. It keeps growing!

    I can't wait for the TFcon 2020 exclusive Titan Shafter!
