As an aside, for UK buyers who buy through TFS-express, have you noticed that all pre-orders are now basically asking for the money upfront? It used to be a smaller deposit upfront, now all the pre-orders listed are asking for a significant chunk (eg. MP-52 is 190 pounds and are asking for a 150 deposit). I'm thinking I may as well pay the whole thing up front with such a large deposit. Expecting some new FT preorders to go up before the end of the year so that's probably gonna be a hit on the Christmas finances.

 

I think you're looking at it upside down dude. TFS MP52 deposit is £ 39.99 and the balance payment option is £150.

 

Ha you're totally right. I must be losing my mind.   . Thanks for correcting me!

 

"On time" doesn't start for 2 weeks, and could be as much as 6 weeks out potentially (all we have for certain is "November", recent early month release is not enough to say when in the month it will hit), so not necessarily.

 

Getting hyped for TFCon announcements, I was thinking about FT releases for 2021. They've currently announced enough figures to just about fill out the year (not counting silhouettes). Here's my wishlist for releases each month. This is assuming they actually have everything that's been announced ready for next year.

Jan - Acoustic Wave
Feb - Bandit
Mar - Berserk
Apr - Jazz
May - Mirage
Jun - Outrider
Jul - Huffer
Aug - Fireflight
Sep - Slingshot
Oct - Tesla 2.0
Nov - Chomp
Dec - ???

Would also love to have some surprises and I'm sure there will be some reissues to.

 

blaster and cliffjumper have been teased by silhouette too

i'm hoping we get cerebros next year

 

Fanstoys might be the least interesting company right now.. all they're doing is the stuff that's been done. Unless they announce something new it's a zzzzzzzzzz showing from them just like last time.

 

I doubt we'll get Jazz and Mirage next year at all let alone in the first part of the year. I think Outrider will be early in the year. But looks pretty good to me.

 

Isn’t ??? what they call their Devastator?

 

I can bett this saterday at TFcon online we're going to see some new news about 2021 FT releases..

 

I'd bet on Tesla 2.0, Huffer, and Acoustic Wave (+ cassettes?) to headline the year's offerings, with the remaining three combiner pieces spread out to continue their streak.

Outrider too maybe, but all we've seen of him so far is the redesigned "glamour shots" instead of posed prototypes like the other three I mentioned.

Berserk will probably launch in the same window that Thomas did this year. New pics of Chomp, maybe a non-blurry Cliffjumper test shot in posed form next to previous releases, and a teaser for the next upcoming combiners.

Toss in a few requested or confirmed reissues and there's not much left by way of surprises. Jazz or Mirage, one or the other, to fill a hole in the schedule? Can't wait to see what's coming, regardless.

 

I have a feeling we won’t get the 2 Aerial bots next year. I feel like the combiner stuff is still being tweaked so I bet the last Stunticon is in the second half of the year and maybe one aerial bot in 2021 and last one in 2022.

I think we might see some full colour Acoustic Wave, Outrider and Chomp soon and get them early next year. But I want Tesla and Jazz pretty bad, I hope they make 2021 with updates on Cliffjumper.

 

Would love to get Acoustic Wave and Beserk early next year. Chomp could be a cool figure. Like the MindWipe, skipped WeirdWolf. But hopefully Chomp will be quality and with his colour scheme it will stand out.

 

Seeing they did 2.0 for a old figure. i feel like their older headmasters are outdated. I can see them redo them.

 

Doing 2.0 for MindWipe and WeirdWolf?

Maybe for the WeirdWolf, which I think had problems. But the MindWipe was near perfect. Maybe a reissue.

 

2021: Berserk or bust.

 

Yes!!!!!
Especially with Thomas out not. We need a Fans Toys BlitzWing!!!

 

Chinese New Year has been cancelled!!!

 

lupus is outdated for sure,dracula no not by a long shot, it's still probably my fave fanstoys piece
