    That is 3rd party FextHobby's (FansHobby) OWL-ONE armor add on for Macross VF-1 figures. It's based on the Thunder Hummer (Hammer) armor concept that was never released.
    The 1/100 version has already been released for use with Bandai HiMetal R 1/100 VF-1 figures.
    They are still working on the armor for the Arcadia 1/60 VF-1 figures.

    They come with optional weapon and accent color loadouts.

    When I first saw that, I was hoping it was going to be an update of Gobot Power Suits to use with Legends figures or something.

    How dare you. 3' everything is necessary.
    More toys the better. :) 
    I agree 28" is not 3'

    Wonder how the new and the current Acid Rain line pair with Studio Series figures and the PotP line. It's time for humanity to fight back darn it!

    Every time I scroll through a thread you post in I am mildly freaked out.

    Damn you Momo...

    Third party? Isn't that promoting piracy? Is that even legal?

    You must be extremely new. :lolol  It's technically Copyright Infringement (or Trademark Infringement. Whichever) and yes, it is technically illegal. And ya know what? Hasbro has (not word-for-word, but basically without directly outright saying one thing or the other) said that they just don't want it brought to their immediate attention, as they know us fans love 3rd Party stuff, and it seems more people care about something they made when a 3rd Party makes a kit or something to go with it (at least I think they said that last thing :lol ), and if it's brought to their immediate attention, they might be required to do something about them. They seem to feel that it helps feed the fans and the franchise in some way I guess.
    Or Galaxy Manus (Cybertron Optimus Prime/Galaxy Force Galaxy Convoy) either... *BIGGER SIGH*...
    ...God dang it, stop giving me ideas people... :lolol 
    Would look pretty good in a Beast Wars display, IMO. :D

    If Toys Alliance and Flame Toys and other licensed, actual 3rd Parties commanded all the attention that our boutique, unlicensed toy manufacturers have, well then...

    This would be the 4th Party Board and we’d call KOs 5th Party!

    But, honestly, that will never happen. It’s just one of those funny things in life, like when you hear someone say “ATM Machine!” :p

    Yep. Look at it this way, TFNation is an actual fan convention about getting to know your (roughly) neighborly enthusiasts, and whoever else in the EU took the train to their estranging sibling in England.

    Then, the TFCons are more like trade shows or expos meant primarily to demo the latest merchandise as well as tease forthcoming products.

    Guys, what class size is that Galvatron? Is he leader or voyager sized?

    The design looks like it’s from what the app games - forged to fight?!

    Somewhere in between, though probably closer to Leader.

    Also, Maketoys Cross Dimension Galvatron

    That Super-MP Optimus by Lewin Resources is truly amazing. I appreciate that this is being made in production.
