    Yes. Fanstoys, who are notorious for producing limited runs of product and charge a premium for them, then produce an equally limited run reissue at inflated prices will obviously change its business model because people who never bought much Fanstoys product are buying a cheaper product from another company.

    Nowt about preference mate, we all look for different things so that's a very subjective thing.

    Someone just suggested stiff competition would hopefully lower their prices overall but I don't think they ever will when ppl actively defend the practise. I mean if ppl are willing to pay inflated prices why would they drop them?

    I'm grabbing first run. It doesnt appear to be an over designed mess.

    It looks like all he does is, sit down and puts his arms up. I still think it was remoulded from Transistor. Hopefully, it doesnt have that weird hip wobble.

    I doubt its a remold of transistor, XTB is way past that in design philosophy alone as they are much more toon nowadays. If it is a remold, it is so unrecognisable that its basically new.

    Why would it be insane to think this started out as the design?

    I just don't see how you're getting a Transistor remold out of it.

    Now I know you're trolling. Unless you've genuinely never posed or transformed Transistor?

    There's not one thing here that's similar, apart from they're both boxy and mainly red.

    Janssen and Locke both have arms, legs, and a head, so personally I think Janssen is remolded from Locke.
