    This is the 2nd supposed KO that popped up within the last week or so.

    50 dollars. Over half die-cast. Paint apps for the die-cast. On a figure that needs to stands regular stresses for transformation meaning it needs at least decent materials for both die-cast and plastic. All for fifty dollars.

    Yeah no I'm sure it'll be fine.

    I'd be guinely intrigued to see an FT mould ko'd and its effect on the after market. Could make for some interesting fallout.

    I don't get how anyone can confidently say this thing exists or when we only have some images (that are straight up pics from fanstoys), a company name that we've never heard, and a price that would only get you a main line leader. The chances of this being legit seem slim right now. The chances of it actually being good...

    We've seen how expensive official Takara MPs have gotten over the years and how it created the perfect landscape for their KOs. I wonder if that will become the case for FT. At least with FT, the quality didn't consistently go down as prices went up.

    Nothing to prove or disprove the KO being legitimate. Idk why everyone gets so hostile that precious FT might have a KO and needs to prove it’s fake. If the KO releases, not like your Phoenix suddenly disappears from your shelf. You still have it, so who cares whether a KO is made or not.

    Transfans are crediting "mp-39" with this, and also with a new Hound KO update. Interesting to see that showz has updated that KO with a new image that isn't on Transfans.

    Either mp-39 is a) a troll, b) poorly informed, or c) very well informed (but half asses the info).

    Wasn’t what I was trying to joke at but now it totally is :p .

    As far as I can tell the MP-39 dude has been reliable. From what I can remember seeing anyways. Too much stuff to remember obviously.

    honestly I'm glad, the circlejerk around FT products needs to stop

    "FT PRODUCTS ARE ALWAYS LIMITED PREORDER NOW WOO IS SOLD OUT IN MINUTES!! BUY HIM FOR 400$!! AAAA IS SO EXPENSIVE NOW ALWAYS BUY FT PRODUCTS THE FIRST DAY OF PRE-ORDER FT PRODUCTS ALWAYS GO UP! YASSS FT PRODUCTS ALWAYS SOLD OUT!!! BUY IT BUY IT THE SCALPER IS JUST CHARGING 200$ MORE MAYBE TOMORROW WILL BE MORE EXPENSIVE BUY IT NAOOO"
    "Pre-order sold out"

    that's the entire FT market, and if FansToys production is THAT limited well just put a sticker of "limited numbered product" in every single release or something, most people just want to enjoy FT products, being able to buy them IN STOCK, buying them after watching reviews, not being slaves of pre-orders bad QC and scalpers, I hope that Phoenix KO goes well, Takara was going down the same path with Combiner wars and weijiang changed the game, and yes, I'm glad that FT is doing reissues but this made-to-order thing needs to stop

    I'm hoping they ko every good ft release for between the 50 and 80 bucks, with better qc than original. For some reason people think these toys are expensive to make and use high quality materials, newsflash, they don't.

    I'm down for a ko'd cyclonus, galvatron and maybe a skyfire.

    Hope the aftermarket prices get fucked as well. Especially if said ko's have better qc and if they actually come out.

    Fuck ft and their pricing, same for tt.

    Then when their products got KO'd they say fuck it and close up shop

    fuck ft but you'd buy KOs of their products?

    Cancelled my Phoenix preorder with TFs-express. If you're looking for one, maybe it will be made available for someone else.

    I was really torn on this one. FOMO is huge. But ultimately I had to admit to myself that nearly $300 for one of these toys is really pushing it, especially when I'm not really sure that I want it, and I already have a serviceable Siege Jetfire. (And anyway, I already spent $300+ recently on Thomas. That one I *knew* I wanted. But I don't want to make a habit of it.)
