    I didn't see any pictures for K-Bone at the convention. Seems I missed them.

    Did anyone pick this up then? I’m waiting patiently for it to be available online...

    I mailed A3U about this last week, they replied yesterday that they'll be getting back to me in a few days.

    ps: 70CAD (~$53/€46) doesn't sound too bad to me for an exclusive.

    I'll admit, I'm not too fond of FP working a fig marked as exclusive vs working on putting out other figs that are way beyond overdue, but the colors of this fig does "pop" more than its original version (it doesn't help that TJ is using that blasted demon-possessed camera of his that takes absurdly awesome pics :lol ) . That being said, despite my issues with FP, I'm also glad to see they're trying to make a comeback. The redesign on their Apeface leaves me a tad more hopeful.


    Considering they wanted $75 USD for Kar Krash back when it released, aye $53 isn't so bad.

    I think that price was fine 3-4 years ago. By today's standards it seems too high.

    That's not to say that it's not what the price should be, but when compared to other products on the market, the value for money just isn't there for me.

    Annnnnnnnnnnnd.....preordered.

    Says K Bone will be out this month with the other two limbs in Q4 2018. A limited rerelease of K Krash too for those that don’t have him already/still.

    Looking forward to seeing Diesel and the combined mode. So stoked for these! The set may be a bit dated but I’m addicted to the scale.

    Preordering mine right now. Really digging the colors they're showing on "Lost Chance" (nice one there, A3U / FP) and Down Force. Can't wait to see Diesel!

    Also, well done on pricing A3U. $55 ea for an exclusive 3rd party figure done in a niche color scheme is pretty damn good in my book.

    And...preordered

    Hope they put up Diesel soon


    I see theyre using “Intimidator” but didnt all the FP materials refer to it as “M3”

    intimidator was like an informal name

    Well the “M3” thing is sort of a link to the previous CrossFire combiner sets. Their Bruticus or FP Colossus was “C3” and their Superion (can’t remember if he had a FP name) was “A3”.

    So even though Intimidator was not officially on any of the boxes, or included in any of their fiction (as far as I can remember), it does make sense for the combined mode to have another moniker to go along with the “M3” designation.

    Agreed - Altho it seems a bit unnecessary for the international shipping to be practically that price again...

    You've clearly never shipped from Canada.

    It was "Antaeus".

    I found info on that somewhere a while back, I guess it wasn't widely used since it was their first combiner kit.

    TBH Fansproject needs to take a fresh shot at a CHUG superion, but a new combiner is quite the fantasy these days

    CFC0C5F5-2027-4EE7-96DC-599A8F589862.jpeg Wow I have no words. This comment was on A3Us Facebook page announcing pre-orders for this set.....

    How is it not a positive thing that they are releasing a G2 version for fans that want one? Don’t like... don’t buy. What is wrong with this world?

    That Ryan Lee person reads like the guy in this thread from a few pages back.

    Semi-tempted by the set but 280 dollars with shipping to Europe is a bit much in one go.
