I'm super confident my 3 bots will show up friday

 

Man that's the worst feeling when you can't stop anticipating when your package will arrive. To make matters worst it's the Holidays and we all know how hectic shit can be at Post office/Shipping center.

(On a side note: Not trying rub salt into your wound but I ordered something from Japan last Saturday 12/12 and that shit has been moving at a rate like nothing I've never seen before and should arrive Thursday 12/16 lol) Regardless it should be well worth it when you get your 3 bots.

 

Yeah, I've had packages from china show up in 8 days earlier this year. And my Unicron from showz took like 2 months.

Win some, lose some.

 

I have 5 nearly 6 FT bots heading my way and almost all have stopped updating at the start of december and I expect none of them to move till january at this rate (little more optimistic about the last 2 since they're coming from US)

 

Holy Cybertronian Energon Burgers!!

What 6 Fans Toys are you getting?

 

Sovereign M, Koot, Sheridan, Dunerunner, Spoiler and Pheonix when he ships. I'll be ordering Goose and Iceman soon then I'll probably get Jabber, Hoodlum and Hunk. My goal is to try and get them before new releases so I'll only need to get a figure a month

 

Damn that’s a haul. A Long Haul haha

Can’t really go wrong with Fans Toys. I have yet to be disappointed by any of my FT purchases. I’m awaiting Spoiler myself.

 

Can't recall if I've seen this take before, but I'd be 100% fine with a combiner shell that doesn't transform in to a trailer. I will 100% be displaying this combined mode in the OX mode, as cars on the back of the legs is stupid as hell.

 

Omfg f this mfing piece

 

Well I won’t be transforming Spoiler again anytime soon. Cool figure, love the bulky yet slick feeling bot mode, and the heft on alt is awesome. But I may never see bot mode again to be honest lol.

So he sits in his composite board prison until such a time as he becomes a shin.

 

Yeah it's a bit of a pain. You can loosen or tighten the screw though depending on how well it moves. Had to loosen mine quite a bit.

 

I tried but none of my mini screwdriver heads fit properly/they are so damn tight they wouldn’t budge. I had to use pliers to rotate the piece.

 

You reminded me of FT constructicons and how much I want them and FT combaticons

 

i can't wait to see what they do with the constructicons , combaticons and protectobots

 

got my spoiler and really does look as good as it does in pictures but still really undecided whether to keep the xtb or ft limb bots , ft motormaster is going nowhere regardless  
i know it's  but it really stands out now i have magnum and this just how these really are a bit too big , xtb are just a tad too small , dx9 and ft have gone too tall

all takara's fault they should have been able to look into the future and made their carbots scale robotwise with the ft stunticons!!

 

Hope Fans Toys gets to these eventually.
The thing I love about FTs is how well they replicate that G1 design but adapt it to being more aesthetic. The original G1 cartoon designs were super stiff, boxy. FT it’s more like these comic book look above; still G1 but more mature, updated.


And that paint . The Constructicon neon green in FT paint

 

Luckily it's on a screw, so you can loosen it. But yea, they are super tight out of the box.

 

one thing i didn't notice before is how purple the blue looks in person , not sure if it's because i'm looking at it with my contact lenses in? maybe it will look different with my glasses on as colours are more vibrant unlike with my contacts   but it really looks different to peoples pictures

 

Just opened up Magnum. This is my 2nd ever FT product, with the original koot being the first.

I am very impressed. Its painted very well, and feels great. Spoiler will be here tomorrow, and hopefully roadking too.

 

FT has gone more cartoon accurate lately than when they started IMO.
