    Are we sure it's not a David Carradine/Michael Hutchens situation?

    EDIT: Thanks to @AutobotTurbine for straightening me out on my Carradines.

    I do miss the AEC days when toys were leaked first as wild coloured prototypes, good times.

    Guys should I get him? I'm really so considering it but 350 at a time is a big investment if that makes sense

    I think a KO of Victory Saber is far more feasible than Unicron. A KO company may even break up the set.

    Okay I'm just gonna say it
    THE POINT OF A CROWDFUND CAMPAIGN IS TO SHOW US THESE PROTOTYPES

    Hasbro's happy to take our money and then go radio silent for a year, and I'll be honest, it's kind of annoying. Part of the experience of a crowdfund campaign is that they share regular backer updates that let you in on the whole process.

    Finally took all of these out of the package today to stand with Star Saber.
    The only one I had previously opened before today was my third party Road Caesar.

    Now I just need Hasbro/Takara to give us a Landcross and my Autobot Victory collection will finally be complete!

    Here's a size comparison between the Haslab and MP version.

    G1 Prowl added for scale.

    Seeing Tarn loaded up with SIEGE Shockwave\'s weapons is too good to pass up now.

    A fourth party KO Company COULD also have better QC and include die-cast metal (like if it were WeiJang or whatever that company has morphed into).
