Yeah, at least knowing whether it would be this year or not would be a huge point of interest.

-A.S.

 

Thanks for the info. I'm not finding anything similar for these cube organizer shelfs I bought for my collection tho. Guess I shoulda went with the Billy and Detolf after all.

 

What?

 

Might have to PM him instead. It's the only way he's sure to reply.

I took this screenshot just now at 8:38PM EST.

 

That's h i l a r i o u s  

 

LMFAO. Eyeing that thread like a HAWK. Great to see. I need a Quietus reissue, so I really just want to see his profile read "last viewing XTB Eligious"  

 

Hmm... Hopefully my Smokey shows up Monday. Would hate for any more lost time for an item 2 hours away from me.

 

Mine hasn't even been picked up by the USPS yet, and it "arrived" on the 30th  

 

the pelvic thrust.

 

You should be able to just stick the wheels in hot/boiling water and they should go back to normal.

 

Gotta have the thrust!

 

For those that enjoy it can have my share. I can’t stand the pelvic thrust.

 

FT no doubt makes great figures but one thing to me is their head sculpts are a bit off sometimes. Dragstrip was one of my most favorite characters growing up but to me that headsculpt is off. We've had 3 versions from 3 different companies and to me no had has been able to nail it.

MMC made great headsculpts for Swindle and Brawl.

imo if the headscuplt looked like this would be great!   If only I could make my own headsculpts  

 

Wait really? I think that's the best part of FT, their head sculpts.

 

Haha guess we're all different! Good for u I guess! Definitely not dissing FT just in this case its off for me. I have their beachcomber and warpath and that is fantastic!

 

Luckily we're all different  

 

If you're looking for perfect cartoon accuracy, which it seems like you are, Fan Toys is not the way to go. Fans Toys makes idealized versions of G1 characters in toy form. Takara would be the way to go for you, but I don't think they're making Stunticons any time soon. This set is the best out there right now, I really wish I'd gone in on it when I had the chance.

 

Well so does Takara actually. Their MP Sunstreaker is not a 1:1 representation of the cartoon. I think FT makes toys that are really close to the cartoon.

 

Takara's more recent trend is to go for as close to a 1:1 to the cartoon as possible, especially with their BW line. It's not 100%, but it's closer than Fans Toys. Fans Toy definitely goes for a "G1 cartoon, but mature" style if that makes any sense. Like if the cartoon grew up.
