Yeah, but I do think the Arielbots, with there jet kibble, really gets in the way of the swivel the way they peg in, and I figure Thomas' back thrusters will do the same. But yeah, hopefully I'm wrong.

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for pointing it out  

 

I don't see why some don't PO with places that doesn't require a fee and decide later on to keep or not.

 

If you mean the shuttle main engines (boosters, adding for people searching) I'm fairly certain they are a non-issue for the waist. It looks like 2 of the 3 are inside the forearms and the third beneath the head inside the torso.

 

FT AerialBots are not great... But this is a different beast, I think Thomas will excel in the articulation department.

 

What makes you say that? To me he looks like a typical Fanstoys statue.

But it's a great looking statue.

 

Their joints don't have a good range of movement, the alt-modes go from bad to ok (mostly because they are G1 accurate) and I really don't like how they will "combine".

As "statues" they are fine I guess.

 

Disproven in BSF's most recent video which runs through the articulation of all FT products. Some recent ones have been a bit less range of motion on some joints, but overall it's not true of their catalog.

 

Their Aerialbots don't have the range of movement I would expect from a MP figure. And yes I saw his video about FT, some have quite good articulation, some don't... The Aerialbots do not imo.

A good statistical approach would have been better to address if the articulation has become worse, better or unchanged.

 

I didn't know he'd done that overview, will try to find it on his channel ....  

 

I'm fairly certain he was asking why you think Thomas will excel in articulation, not your issues with the Aerialbots. He thinks Thomas looks like a statue is how I read it.

 

Ahhhh if that is the case please excuse me, I said that because of the prototype pictures posted back then where his articulation was highlighted.

 

the guy feels like an Adam Corolla in the making ...

 

Yes, got one!

 

From.....?

 

BBTS, well I guess I shouldn’t be happy until it ships.

 

I can't wait for the inevitable qc issue with my copy and the look of my face in the mirror while I reconcile the inflated price paid and attempt to dodge that very question that my wife with undoubtedly ask if not multiple times until she receives an answer.

 

Inevitable for you perhaps? But not for the rest of us  

Thank you for taking one for the team.

 

all she needs to know is that it's been in your collection for years!

 

Hehe yeah that's what I meant, but no problem  

 

Surprised there's been no box artwork or more recent shots of him slip out yet ...
