    Honestly? I wish I could say something more positive about it. But I can't. Just that we want to do her but it's up in the air when that will be.

    Edit: also wishing SXS would come back from the dead and show off theirs already.

    Me too. I love their Hot Flame (not that y’all’s isn’t great too, I just picked the latter bc of the slightly more accurate proportions), and was eager to see what else they have in store. Hopefully they spring back up like MakeToys did today

    So, this would be easy to recolor into a Joker motif for a con next year. Just sayin...

    Hypothetical question then with this comment...IF a Windblade were to be made by MMC....would Slipstream be the obvious remold from her?


    Asking for a friend. :D

    I'm sure I remember you and/or LazyAza all but confirming there was an MTMTE Ratchet somewhere in the pipeline.

    I do wish someone would so Skids though.Even an OSKO of the Thrilling 30 one would have been better than nothing :(

    NGL I was actually betting that there'd be a Skids, haha. But Rung truly was a surprise out of nowhere, and a very welcome one.

    Hope we can see the others sooner or later!

    For sure. I thought it would be a long while before we got Rung, and I’m so happy it’s now.

    That's kinda crazy to hear, considering MMC TfCon exclusives and their fembots consistently pull absolutely bonkers money on the aftermarket, and have been for some time. Even Hasbro's Nautica commands crazy money for a mainline deluxe, albeit from a mass-produced "exclusive." LG Slipstream gets crazy money....Looked up Greenlight lately?...and on and on. Most of the official ones are relatively garbage compared to what MMC could do in the $100 msrp range, and the market is already showing you the money and backing would be there. People don't pay that much for a shitty deluxe when a better option is available, especially one tied to such popular canon as IDW.

    Replace any of those with a good design, and they wouldn't need to worry about G1 backing for it to succeed, the market for fembots in general is ferocious.

    The same people interested in buying a Rung are absolutely the same group of people interested in buying a Fulcrum.
