    Their Facebook, back in April, said release in July.
    Given what we’re seeing here and the new Crowdfund, and general turnaround times for projects, I predict Sept.

    Yeah, my pre-order went from Apr to July, in line with that. I agree, I think the rethink that went on with the Solarflare project has added time onto this release by another couple of months - booo!

    I preordered this guy today. He's looking good and my wallet could use a delay after all the Fanstoys releases lately.

    It has the best jet mode of all the MP Coneheads, but I don't like the bland toon colors on it. Will wait/hope for a metallic-and-striped-wings toy-based repaint.

    I have all the MP coneheads and will keep them in alt mode. I like toon accuracy for bot mode but prefer a little more realistic alt modes so it works out well having one of each. They are robots in disguise after all. Yeah, that was probably lame.

    If it even happens, any repaint will almost certainly be a crowd-fund at this point I imagine.

    For sure. I too prefer the toy coloring, but darn, I just want to get the Seekers and Coneheads done with.

    I'm lucky in that these are exactly what I want, toon-to-a-tee. I'm unlucky in that... they still aren't released!!:D

    Asked Maketoys about the release date of Endgame and they replied,

    "For some reason, the item will be late more a bit. I think it will be released in August. "

    Should I trust them?

    August wouldn't be horrendous, but that's a 4 month slippage from the original April. I'm not seeing the other two both being finished before the end of 2020 at this rate!

    Plus... "for some reason" (why don't they know?); "I think it will be" (hardly a firm, or even mildly solid, type of sentiment is it?). That's not really reassuring!

    Something isn't right...
    1) Color of the wings should be gold
    2) The wings are too long, they don't go that far up the shaft

    Maketoys please fix <3

    See the diagram

    ...all that grousing on his wing length and color, and not a peep regarding his giant cigar armguns? C'mon fandom. We're losing our edge.

    In those pics, it almost looks like there's a transparent covering around the front end of them that makes them look cigar-like.

    end.PNG end2.PNG

    Could just be the lighting, but it looks like it in both modes. If so, it's a weird choice. Maybe if it's removable it'll look more like the G1 toy?

    I was mostly being facetious, but I'm not sure if that's a plastic cover (which would be kinda odd) or some kind of flanges.

    Yeah. Looks like a precaution to avoid snapping at cons perhaps?

    Oh, and there's the G1 style armguns by his feet, too. So never mind. I'll retract my ridiculousness. :D
