    Expect a very heavy Delay for this Project.
    Slingshot was PROMISED to us Months ago.

    With the current Speed DST can push
    out 2, Maximum 3 Members at 2022
    AT BEST. The Factories also need multiple weeks to recovery from the complete Shutdown from CNY / February.

    "promised"... Eh, anyway, I'm fine with waiting, just happy to see some news about it, so I know the project is still going forward.

    To add to your response just buy the figure already like I did.

    They give me a very strong Cang toys vibe.

    I've heard that they are Cang Toys. I've also heard that they're Zeta. No idea if either is true.

    Still pretty sure it’s jinbao and they just hired TFC/cang’s designers.

    They are JiYi under another brand name.

    I doubt it, but we will find out when the first member come out.

    I just noticed a stylistic similarity - I wonder if there will be multiple size options like with Cang toys too ?

    What do you mean by "just buy the Figure"

    I already did buy Slingshot x2 at ShowZStore. And I paid in Full, Months ago. September I think. 240$ for 2 Units.

    That is the Reason I want the damn Figure NOW. I paid for it. 2 Units. A large sum. A Delay, is a Delay. But this is getting stupid.

    The Figure is finished, the new Head Sculpt is perfect, so release that damn thing.

    No Retool, No Redesign for G1ers, just Release, and move to the second one.
    Even on their DST Facebook Site there is dead Silence for more than a half Year now.

    I do not get any younger, I actually want to complete this Superion Monster within this Lifespan.

    I understand that there is a Huge
    Delay in 2022 until we even get the
    3rd Member, but god damnit,
    DST should just start already and make
    an "Beginning". It seems they can not even do that.

    Don't complain, nobody told you to pay in full did they? I did the same, so i kinda understand, but paying in full for something still in development is always a risk, especially with current economics

    Since it's "finished" they must have solid reason for not releasing it
    Maybe they want to definitively finish all working prototypes and fix or upgrade all combiner issues before releasing, so they don't come to a halt like fanstoys when they figure out they messed up

    we've seen the combined mode, but know nothing about joints or stability
    but I'd rather have them do some tweaking if that means a better end product

    It's fine to want them, but you choosing to pay up early is irrelevant. Do you think they schedule their production based on your payment?

    I actually think he doesn't look that good in that video. Actually looks pretty "cheap"..

    yea i agree. i was pretty stoked with the initial renders, but the finished product and styling looks kinda tacky, like some generic overstylized china-bootleg figure.

    I'd need to see more of them in color. The head sculpt detail looks "soft.

    The engineering looks fiddly and the figure is kibbly in both modes but hey maybe the combiner will make up for that.
    Also, I'm still not sure what exactly is this company trying to accomplish, way too messy and "Bayish" for G1 collection and not exactly a movie style figure either. But again, Superion...
