    Finally swapped the head. Need to get some more cartoon faction logos:

    He just needs a golden hand now!

    Incidently I love all this extra accessories that are nods to random scenes. Really adds to a collection imo.

    Let's discuss the real reason we collect Fanstoys: The cards! ;) 
    Obviously joking, but do think they are kind of fun. Anyone notice this though that the wrong text is written on them? Sheridan eh?!
    @dalianjj Can we get reprints!? ;)  (Also joking. Not that big of a deal. Just might want to mention to whoever handles the cards so future batches are printed correctly)

    Oh I agree, Cliffjumper is my number 1! I just want a silhouette or some vague hint they’ll get to the other 2 also

    I think I may have received a unique QA issue, lucky me! I have an assembly issue that is causing damage to the figure. It looks like the left shoulder pin was installed at an angle, so when it turns it causes the shoulder to grind into the torso and scratch the paint off both parts. You can see the difference when comparing how much white is visible at the shoulder peg. I took the arm apart to see if I could adjust anything, but the shoulder is pinned in so I'm not sure if replacement parts would work. I've contacted showz, so we'll see what happens.

    This is one little fantastic figure. Just got one from baba and had to pay a bit of late tax. I'm liking it more than I thought I would.

    You gotta love though how Warpath is the polar opposite of Beachcomber. Mr. Kablam always is up for a battle, but Beachcomber always keeps away from the bloodshed and smells the roses.

    That's why it's so goddamn funny, to me at least.

    LOL, this is just one more reason why I make my own custom cards. Speaking of which I still need to finish Beachcomber.

    Not a joke. It should be reprinted and included in the next minibot. Hmm, FT-45 Spindrift v2 (Seaspray)? :D

    I wanted to chime in on this to see if anyone else is annoyed by the size of their cards. I actually put the cards in a binder with sheets for baseball card holders but FT's cards aren't the same size and since they are plastic they have a tendency to slide out. I wish they'd make them standard baseball card size and just out of a cardstock material.

    Does anybody else store them differently or have found a good way to store them?
