    So how do you actually get Kar Krash? The A3U page mentions a minimum amount needing to be ordered for them to produce it, how do I know if they are close to that amount or not?

    If it's anything like the original, just wait 3 years or so and pick the whole set up used for like $150... Think that's all I got for mine when I sold it.

    I just tried their "alternate configuration" with my standard colors set----and I don't think it's a "real" transformation. You can't connect the legs to the "skeleton". At all. There's not even any peg-holes to do so when the leg bots are like this. I think they are literally just "sitting on top of the feet" in that pic. It looks cool, and you COULD display it like that in some poses---but the legs aren't attached to the body, and that's a deal-killer for me.

    I really wish this "worked" as I like the look a lot.

    The leg bots have newly molded peg holes in the chest.

    Only works with the new set...

    "The first photo of the Alternate configuration that the new G2 menasor can have, so that it has a more stylized look to match. Previous versions are not able to be displayed like this due to the mold of the waist. You can see the legs have a more modern flow now but can still be put in classic mode."

    I think the people behind FPJ are still around, they are just working on other projects. So if they want to make a repaint, they can still do it.

    That sucks. I doubt they'll reissue the new leg-bot molds in the original colors. But I'd buy them.

    Anyone have pics of the changed molding? Wonder if they'd be willing to produce just the needed "new" bits. Don't need the other 90% of the figure.

    4th party option? Chest-post upgrades for the original leg-bots?

    It was originally supposed to ship back in December, but they told me it got pushed back to March. Which obviously has come and gone.
    This has been a hard one to wait for. I know they are stoneage, but I love old-school Fansproject/Maketoys. I know it will never happen, but I wish they would revive this line and make more figures. A proper Bruticus would be so awesome (since they did 2/5 of him anyway).

    8 years after Kar Krash I can barely believe it. It’s like a fever dream of neon colors!

    can’t wait to see more!

    Wow, exactly 2 years after preorders went up we are finally seeing signs of production. Curious about the packaging; probably not a box though (which is what I would have liked).

    Large window, but a window nonetheless.

    Love the G2 colours. I’d get into this set if the other 4 cars were available anywhere.

    Got an email update from A3U on this a couple days ago. Not sure how widely this was sent out or if I wound up on one of their lists since I'd emailed a long ways back asking if the project was still happening.

    Here's a mailchimp link (I think it will work): FansProject Kausality Petrol Shipping Update!

    Quoting just the text below (there's pictures too, in the above link if it works). It really does look incredible.
