    The true question is: what's he studying? My guess is civil engineering.

    When you make a toy so big you can use humans for height comparisons instead of other toys. He's taller than Warwick Davis but shorter than Peter Dinklage.

    FT saved the day. The only significant MP reveal (FortMax) and a full-color update to an MP we're eagerly waiting for (Thomas). I'm okay with most of the rest of the 3Ps being kind enough to just not show anything rather than waste everyone's time rehashing what they've already shown. Rather it be short than long but full of repeats.

    I would agree. I’m actually mildly surprised we got any significant reveals at a NA con based on how it’s been for a while.

    Bullshit liberal arts education college fund or FT Fort Max? Is this even a question at this point?

    I saw the live feed late, but given how short it was, let me make a guess ..... there's nothing from Maketoys nor DX9?

    It's who I'm designing for. Thanks for the feedback on the tapes. There's 7-8 more to finish yet, and then onto someone pretty supreme.

    That FortMax though! Hnghhhhh I really want to get it to help get a similar Tryp!

    At least I got this one right. Last year, they had 2 Cons and barely enough materials to cover 2 hours. This year they have 3, so the easy solution is to divide 2 hours to 3 and 30-40 mins is what you got.

    But if you complain, someone will just say that you are doing Cons wrong. I mean sure you don't go to a Con just for the 3rd party stuff, but a huge part of TFCon is also pretty repetitive.

    My suggestion: if people have never been to the nation's capital, you should go. See the history and it's a nice city. The Con can simply be the icing on the cake. Or skip it altogether. I guarantee there's plenty of things to do in DC.

    None of that makes any sense. The Con is way more than just the 3P panel. And what is shown in the panel is dictated by what progress has been made by 3Ps since the last significant Con, whether that's a TFCon, a Shangai Con, a Singapore GTCC, etc.

    Mine is safe and I bought upgrades for my legends scale display. Plus, lets be honest here. When do you think FT is really going to have time to get this out? Its probably a 2022 project at best :lol 

    I wish FT would've done Metroplex instead. Maybe next round?

    On MMC, pretty big disappointment there. Another repaint of Ravage? That cage again? Between MMC and MT, they have to be sitting on the most sought after characters and they keep delaying them. If Has/Tak or another company jumps in, game over because now your competing for market share. Right now, no one to compete with.

    Nothing from XTB/KFC? Man, I miss the days where it was exciting to see products from the biggest names.

    I'm curious if FT would really try and sell Fort Max's body all in one, or split it up a la Omega/Terminus. One of the benefits of Terminus's initial release was it being split up and not asking people to pay $300+ all at once, before releasing an all-in-one option later. It'd mean three releases, counting the separate Cerebros, but I wouldn't mind going back to this approach.

    Then again, with 3Ps rarely hitting initial release target dates, this could be $500-600+ and it'd still give people plenty of time to pull the money together, compared to Haslab Unicron's quicker payment deadline.

    The closest ive ever been to a convention was living two blocks away from a center and having assholes try to take my reserved parking space, while dressed like an anime character.

    I'll probably never go to one. My only interest would be the dealer room. A $10 toy show could take care of that.

    I'm almost certain that size wasn't the initial plan, and they are just trying to play a game of "mine's bigger" with Hasbro. Its stupid and they should try and actually think what that kind of size implies.

    I would say its $1,000 at least knowing FT.
