    Kapow a few weeks ago announced they are done with stocking FT in an email to a customer if I recall correctly. Not sure this is an indicator of anything new.

    Cyclonus being on TV probably scared them. A legitimate fear, I suppose. I'd imagine they will just lay low.

    Mamba did this a while back. Still cranking out figures.

    Wait.. nevermind. MELLLLLTTTDDDDOOOOWWWWWNNNN

    Probably the best reasoning I've seen yet for the whole situation.

    ah fair enough.
    I did start buying off them but have found it tough of late with any new FT products. Not so surprised now

    I just want to personally apologize in advance for my bad luck killing Fanstoys. Thomas is the first preorder I missed out on (through no fault of my own) and it stands to reason that of course they would have the hammer come down on them before a second wave was issued. Sorry that my Murphy’s Law ruined everyone’s fun. ​

    I hope they are not shutting down. They are the MVPs that have allowed me to have a almost complete S1 and 2 roster. Takara just keeps doing the Optimus and Seeker 2 step with a few new additions. Hopefully they are just restrategizing slightly.

    Sure buying direct sounds great but I don't think FT would want to open that can of worms and deal with all the nonsense that goes with that. Sales can be a real nightmare.

    90 bucks might be worth that nightmare. After all only producing nothing will create zero problems.

    I hope this is the case and six or nine months from now Fans Models starts releasing G1 inspired figures that are 25% different from copyrighted Hasbro/Takara character IP.

    So what FT figures have been cancelled? I'm only seeing the 2.0 of their Seaspray. Did an Arielbot get cancelled?

    Look at this stuff, isn't it neat?
    Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
    Wouldn't you think I'm the bot
    The bot who has everything?

    Also, Dalinajj's account seems to be active, he's not posting though.
