    Exactly what it sounds like. Appreciation about one of the best 3rd party companies is the point of the thread.

    So I created a video of all FT official pics for their releases, some unofficial because the figures did not have the official one. It also do not include the recent releases, I will update the video in the future.

    As this tends to be a problem with FansToys related threads, spammy off topic nonsense won't be tolerated. Fair warning now.

    Sure (although I myself do not appreciate PF as I think it was a failed project).

    To contribute as well, most of my FT don't get transformed much, with the exception of chunky boy.

    I transform the ones I have a lot (although there are some that I transform less than others, such as Rouge).

    Another thing that I am currently doing is a "Faces" photo project (but using heads as pictures of the faces only would not clearly show the character). For this, I had to take out all of the heads (minus Forager is the most difficult to remove and Terminus which I did not touch yet). It's an interesting thing disassembling and reassembling FT product (but I know most people do not like the idea).

    Anyway, here are pics of the planning stage.

    Yes, it's one of the best companies out there for G1 transformers. The QC sticker and their ridiculous prices are dumb though...

    Managed to remove Forager’s head, you need to remove the two small screws on the back.

    The heads alone are really interesting for photography (albeit somewhat creepy).

    Leaving QC stickers on is much sillier then poking fun at people for doing it

    When the company first released quakewave I thought it was kinda funny . Calling out the QC inspector for a job well done . Now though , it’s like ok , yeah , we get it , rip that shit off an move on . No need to keep mentioning it with every single release
