    I have TR Galvatron and I just got the shapeways canon adapter for him. Urgh I'm gonna get this and say its just TR Galvatron upgraded and put TR galvy in a draw.

    Finally transformed. I get it now. But there is a tab inside the knee that is on a spring that is WAY too strong. I'm shaving the tab or finding a way to trim the spring. It's a problem.

    Just snagged this guy for 50. Really fun in bot mode, kinda looks like hot garbage in alt mode. Don't care, though..big, chunky, and nice looking in hand. At that price, may paint it myself.

    really digging the idea of this. This release and their Springer aren't for me as i've gone FT on them, but I like the idea of reasonably priced MPish size figures. If they did the different and less popular characters i'd be all over them - stuff like the clones, duocons, battlecharges or mini headmaster \ target masters. Those guys have some cool designs, but don't warrant a £100 or so figure. But a quick mix for £40? I'd bite!

    Nice pose. In this pic it looks like a proper MP Galvatron.
    Let's see the price when it hits online shops...

    Now that is the photo that'll change everyone's mind who doubted this figure. Great price, great looking figure = WINNER!

    I doubt you'll regret it. Small hands, overly enthusiastic knee tab, and grey plastic instead of chrome/silver paint are probably the only knocks on the figure. Some if not all are easily fixed. And for 1/3 or less what I paid for Sovereign I can't help but recommend.

    More loose products like this please!!! Boxes and packaging are the worst. They add to cost, take up too much space, and are an environmental problem.

    They also protect your shit and go easily in the garbage can.


    There will be a retail box.

    I buy and sell loose toys, and protect them just fine in shipping. And apparently this company can do the same.

    I should like to point out that twice in the showroom while this guy was hanging out on my table I was asked "is that Fanstoys Galvatron?"

    In hand there is still no mistaking he higher overall quality of Sovereign, at least to me. But for those on a budget I'm still playing with him and can't say enough (qualified) nice things about him.

    Hope these are still reasonable when hit in mass release. I would love a leader sized Galvatron that isn't too expensive.

    Can someone picture him next too TR Galvy? Have I said TR Galvatron enough in this thread yet?
