    But FT and UT have to lay low for a while, FT still does.

    TW had to release both Primes under a different brand, etc due to direct competition with 3ZERO, it's better not to make bots that are "relevan" now, like the current movie ones.

    That means that I won't have good representations of Shatter and Dropkick for a while...

    Cause they tried to KO of a Disney product, not cause of trying to make a 3rd party figure of a Transformers character.

    FT and UT only had to lay low for a small amount of time cause 1 of each of their toys showed up in a video for a few seconds, but now they aren't.
    Only way they're "laying low" is the same way every 3rd party company every has before and since, so they don't cause Hasbro/Takara to think they'd hurt their sales. Making figures based on the BB movie should be fine.

    If anything this is one of the reasons why some people here don't want Disney to replace Paramount as the producers/distributers of the movies. You can kiss goodbye to and 3P of the Bayverse and Knightverse designs, while with Paramount and/or Hasbro as long as you aren't going to directly affect sales you should be fine.

    So,Dragoon:less sculpts + zero weathered paint = 700 yuan;
    Nero:more sculpts + zero weathered paint = 850 yuan;
    DOTM megatron:way more sculpts + weathered paint = 1xxx yuan.
    I guess we can take this as a price standard for all the future figures release.

    Ooooooh shit. I hadn't even thought about that! It would be awful if Disney became the distributor of the movies.

    Every single 3rd party deleted stuff from their weibo and went silent for a bit before returning to normal. It’s precaution. And trust me FT is not laying low. They’ve been having almost monthly re-issues lol. WJ just made a stupid call and got themselves in trouble instead of sticking to Hasbro related stuff.

    I really just wish this had one phrase: “we need a truce, all I ask is to be back in charge. Besides, who would you be without me prime?…”

    Desperado, nice name. So the paint alone is quite expensive, I see...

    Exactly what I did.

    The films are indefensible but man I love some of the designs.
