Is the FT-04T toy version still available anywhere?

 

I picked up a used version of FT-04T and I'm loving it, but I didn't realize this version doesn't come with a blue visor to swap out for the head. I tried contacting the fanstoys rep but he wasn't able to help me out. Anyone have any ideas on where I could get ahold of one?

 

Ugh, the left foot of my Scoria now has the gold chrome flaking off at the top :/

 

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I'm thinking about putting him back in Dino mode for display and that's reminded me I never got round to changing the colour of the eyes...

Did anybody ever figure out how to open the Dino head up on these to get at the eyes?

 

Its a pain tbh, you have to completely disassemble the head, including all the pins to get at it.
I was looking to do it for my x set and in the end just bought a new head with blue eyes from FT when they had spares.

 

Don't feel sorry.

 

Just like to check if anyone could tell me the difference between the regular Scoria and the 04T set also what accessories/faces it comes with?

 

All that's different are the colors for the dino-mode head and horns, robot mode's thigh color and head color (black and silver, red visor), otherwise it's the exact same figure, complete with the added faces and feet extensions for the official Grimlock.

 

The T version colors that @Hadlen_Weltall described are colors that resemble the colors on the original G1 toy from 1985, hence "T".
Regular Scoria colors are from the G1 cartoon.
This is the same case for Fanstoys Soar/SoarT.

 

Sorry it's an old picture, it's the only one I've got of Scoria before I boxed it up. the simple things make all the difference.



Chrome red horns, black thighs, silver and black head. On the regular it's chrome silver horns, red head, silver thighs.

 

I purchased the first run Scoria and the one thing that bothered me was that it came with two red helmets and two blue blue visors. I've been looking for someone to trade a set for the black helmet and red visor so I don't have two identical parts but it looks like I'd need to buy an entire figure for those parts.

 

Plan B, Testors Acrylic Black paint is cheaper.

 

If the 04T comes with 2 x black helmets + red visor, I will trade with you.

 

That would be great. Here's my current display options. I can have a red or a silver face with open or closed mouth.

Although both helmets have been painted red, the plastic beneath both of them is red(I discovered this after opening them to change the face). I'm guessing that if the FT-04T comes with a red helmet, it is probably black plastic beneath red paint.

 

I'm good at painting but I'd prefer to keep the parts factory. I used to paint A LOT of Macross Valkyries and after about the 30th one, I was burned out.

 

Talking to a guy who's built 229 Gunpla, and has the infinite backlog, I can imagine. but If you're not afraid to take a brush to it, you can turn your regular Scoria into the version you want in no time.

 

When I customize transformable figures these days, I prefer to remove paint.

 

Have one up in the BST if anyone is looking!

 

Dammit, too late!

I'm keen for a toy version of this one if anyone's looking to part with theirs.
