I have no opinion either way on the actual issue, but I just had to pop my head in here to say that this comment is worthy of Basil Fawlty at his best...

However whilst present I will say that FH have such a great mix of aesthetics, engineering and playability that I look forward to this as much as I do everything else they produce.

 

The wings slide back for the combined jet mode (as @Magna Jet Convoy mentioned for the G1 toy) , but I would think there is nothing stopping you from doing it on it's own. The tail might get in the way, but as far as I can see it just goes straight back from the body and shouldn't interfere with the wing slider (I could be wrong). At first I was thinking it might leave more of the arms exposed instead of being under the wing, but it looks like they slide with the wings.

The KFC Powermaster jets were announced July 2017, same TFCon as the XTB Stunticons and FT Cyclonus (as PF-02). They are among the oldest announced figures with absolutely nothing shown since announcement from a non-dead company. I just looked in their thread again, at one point Keith said they were being revised, then later said they need to determine if they were still worth doing (Aug 2021).

I agree, that his proportions look off, but how often do we get these guys?

 

Crazy how FansHobby is singlehandedly giving me a substantial Masterforce collection when it barely even registered to me a few years ago.

FH Liokaiser when?

 

Those are a great size.

 

Liokaiser is Victory, not Masterforce. I wouldn't count on it from them but maybe XTB if their Deathsaurus sells well?

 

TFC is re-releasing there Liokaiser. With improved joints.

I honestly thought TFC made a really good high quality Liokaiser. That is going to be hard to beat if any other company decided to make one.

Why I think TFC Liokaiser Is such a great toy.
All the individual toys and combiner were made in the proper update scale.
No creative designs, toys that actually look like the original cartoon and OG toys.
Highly sculpted, highly articulated. Toys have all there gimmicks and weapons the OG toys had.

NO. I don't own these toys.. Maybe some day.

 

True, but I am not that desperate for season 4 characters, I will wait for someone else to make one.  

 

If you buy a figure thinking like that, you'll regret it when some other company steps in and release a better interpretation of the character.
At the very least, you must like what you are buying, you shouldn't have to settle just because there is no other option at the moment.

 

Heh, of course you're right. I've been watching back and forth and got them mixed up.

 

Wonder if Fans Hobby will ever try Black Zarak or Piranacon

 

Man I'm just not sure about that robot mode. Compared to Doubledealer, which is pretty much spot on, this looks weird to me.

 

I always wondered if those companies were related.

 

I guess that answers my question.

 

If I remember correctly it use to say on their Website that many of them had come from several different companies all with similar goals, with Maketoys being given as an example, but then it got removed.

 

They are. That's why the lack of updates from Fansproject and Maketoys. It's all about Fanshobby. Same facesculpts, same hands as FP/MT combiners, same repaints for characters not intended for molds(for ex. Fp's Brainstorm into Sonic Bomber, FH's Super Ginrai into Thunderclash), same stylized designs and aesthetics

 

but weren't maketoys japanese while fh is from hk?

 

That sonic bomber is news to me, when did that happen?

 

So we should be beg- asking Fans Hobby for reissues of Utopia and Rioter Despotron?
