I know this isn't Fans Toys, so no need to sweat it, but for anyone who likes to get in early POs and forget about it, both Hot Spot and Groove are up for order on Baba now...

@Grifter Prime Any word?

 

Opened up Fuzz today. Hips and shoulders are a floppy mess. Probably run through my supply of Future to get this guy to hold a pose. Was really excited when they first showed him but now I'm not sure if I'll keep going on this set.

 

could you post a couple pics, haven't heard anything about the hips yet...

 

Tough to capture floppiness in photos but here he is. Hips are loose going back, ok going forward. Shoulders are awful.

 

I agree he can be floppy but I’ve seen others mention it, I haven’t seen a single sintance of shoulders snapping. And I have to say that is somewhat shocking. I agree about the paint and it being perhaps from one of Keith’s lesser factories. But he does pose pretty incredibly. I have him for the eventual combined anyway. He is ok. I’m not super disappointed but I think after the stunticons I dropped my hopes pretty substantially

 

Today Netclow gave me a very bad news....
He will stop to ship items to the European union, due to the new custom rules, toys without CE certification cannot be shipped to the European union. So where I can keep buying the next protectobots?

 

Kapow?

 

Chinese sellers like Showz, Bombusbee and Bababobo.

 

Show.Z, TF-Direct, AliExpress... Plenty of sites out there.

 

What was the question?

 

Isnt Netclow chinese?

 

I think he was looking for a followup on any news of a set of Toy Accurate/Youth Protectobots.

 

Ah yes!

No plans yet...

 

Eh, Kapow nowadays barely carry third party other than MMC, IF, Fans Hobby and maybe Planet X. Wondering if their winding down their third party sales. For UK your down to Omegalock and Chinese sellers. Showz are a solid choice, TF Safari, baba and robotoybase are all decent enough also. You can try US sellers if you like but prepare to get fucked on customs harder than a cheap hooker. Also don't even bother looking at TF Source, their shipping rates are batshit insane.

Edit: just noticed you said Europe. I believe there's a few localised sellers in France, Germany and Netherlands iirc, don't have links to hand but I've seen a few places before. Iacon.store is a French one iirc, don't know the others off the top of my head.

 

yep that was the question - thanks for the follow up!

 

My Fuzz came misassembled.

I think we'll get more pics soon.

 

Was gonna say something about XTB winning the Defensor war/race, but remembered they're really still just one in.

 

I hope we will get some news who and when the next Protectobot will be released soon.
