Fansproject Insecticons. On the fence about selling them...don't think I'll get a decent price...

 

Shadow Commander, still awesome to this day, and barring some bizarre urge never leaving my collection.

 

Pretty sure that I got FansProject Shrapnel and the Perfect Effect Reflector in the same shipment. No intention of selling either, the FP insecticons as a group and mini Reflector are still some of my favourite figures.

 

I believe mine was FansProject's Crossfire Colossus (Explorer and Munitioner) upgrade kits for ROTF Bruticus Maximus. Yup, still have mine.

 

Cubex Huff.

Still have the little guy and I'm not plannig on getting rid of him unless Takara releases it's own version of Huffer AND looks better.

So far Huff is G1 Huffer to me.

 

KO Protector Armor and still have it attached to my classics Hot Rod.

 

Especially with the $20-$30 KO's out there.

 

Mmc Cyclops. Still have it and rate the entire line as some of most favorite.

 

I don't have any, but do want. Been following since MP-01. My first will be MP-03 (I know, day late, dollar short   ). Couldn't buy it then due to lack of funds so. Better late than never.

 

Ooh. Does anyone know which came first? I had thought a unicron.com item or City Commander was quite early (though the CJ kit predates it), but the trailer or the Dinobots might even be earlier. Have/had those as well.

 

TFC Battle Rollar. Bought it so my MP-04 could have a Roller in the trailer. alt and bot modes were pretty good when I first got it. Jet pack and gun modes were cool, too. But over time it just turned into a floppy mess. Packed him up back in his box and its been sitting I my closet for a while now.

 

I replaced Masterpiece Megatron with Apollyon and I've got Voodoo's Salus for my Ratchet. If they ever do their "Animus" red Ironhide, my official Ironhide will be replaced by that. I just think it's a better look and mold for what I want than the official.

Oh yeah, I didn't get the official Shockwave either. Lovely mold but just couldn't get past the color. I'll keep my 3rd party offering on that as well.

 

Fansproject's 2009 Aerial Appendage Add-On Kit, I believe. He's now sitting in a box with the rest of my CHUG collection waiting to be handed down to my sons.

Back in the day, I really did love a lot of the 3P upgrade kits for CHUG, i.e. Classic Cliffjumper Conversion Kit, City Commander, Explorer and Munitioner, Beezleboss' various offerings.

I'd say the earliest 3P offerings that I still display are iGear's Coneheads.

 

Fansproject classics Ultra Magnus upgrade kit. I still have it and it's been great for years.

 

Same here. Bought him to go with MP-04. Never opened him and sold him just recently.

 

I got that G1 Rumble 'toon accurate upgrade kit, still really fond of it! Can't remember who did it though, can anyone recall?

Since then I've been a fanstoys byatch, + Apollyon

 

Quakewave. Found out about 3P figures a year or two before he was released, but everything seemed too expensive compared to official ones. Then Quakewave came out, and it was very competitively priced compared to official MP's, so I took a chance and never looked back. Now years later, he's still on my shelf, going toe to toe with Apollyon for leadership of the Decepticons. Just an inch more and a shade darker, and the official would be right there challenging Quakewave (stupid scale chart).

 

This guy. December 2012, my first 3p figure and my 2nd collector tf. Of course I still have him, as he's still the best dev to ever exist after perhaps toyworlds. Seeing the prototype of him was what made me take transformers seriously again, he represented the next big leap, legit progression in the art form that went on to encourage and inspire other companies to raise the bar higher and higher.



He pretty much is the reason I became a collector. And to this day maketoys are still my favorite company and they are still without question making the best figures above all others. Well most of the time anyway.

 

Apollyon for me - I still have him to fit in with some of the official MP bots that I have. I don't own any other 3P yet!

 

TFC Hercules.

And no.

Hell no in fact.
