Yeah I meant the last 3 from 87. Hei I love HMs, so if there's some from 88, 89, 90 or what have you, then bring them on, but bring them on faster. How about one every 4 months.

 

The more I see, the more I want.

 

Browning is Now in Stock and ready to ship today!

FansProject Function X10 Browning

 

He is the one who designs the look and transformations I think, so he is an important part of the line, but the main thing is, that they should talk to us more  

 

Ship this alone or wait for Bike robo . . .

The full review for Fansproject's Function(x) 10 Browning II is up and I'm pretty glad to see this line still on track.

Here are a few pics from it:

 

What "fix" are you talking about?

 

I'm wondering if it'll be the ApeFace shown in CAD in like... 2014?

 

Why is TFCon still one month away? I want to know the announcements now  

 

FP has publicly acknowledged that the head for this figure is not compatible with the other headmaster figures, that this was an error, and that they will provide Some sort of fix to correct the problem.

 

I'm kinda bummed this guy just like the last two releases in this line have been pretty underwhelming for me. Feels like the designs are just nowhere near as strong as code, quadU and smartrobins were. All beautiful figures I love to death but these last few have some rather ugly elements to them. Browning ironically in alt mode reminds me of a nut filled candy bar he's so blocky and lumpy haha. Possibly the most un-aerodynamic helicopter design I've ever seen.

Really hope their hardhead and apeface remain unchanged from the previous designs we've seen as they looked really nice. Excited for them two still.

 

Easy to say when you don't have to make sure your $$$ is in order to make it to the con! I'm over here like, "OMG! It's ALREADY HERE??? WTF?"  

 

Hopefully the next release will include a bonus "proper" head that's compatible with the others and has a painted face. They did replace Columpio's hips after all. Though this is a bit more complex than that..

But the way the releases seem to be going, we should have the next release sometime in mid-2018.  

 

One thing about the head issue... it's bigger than the other peg holes, so releasing it with a smaller head on the headmaster to fit others would make it too small for the regular Browning II body. So, I wonder if there's any way to do an adapter for the Browning peg hole or what?

 

New headmaster head part + new neck part for him to slot in to = problem solved.

Unless of course the entire upper torso is one solid piece in which case yeah FP done messed up.

 

I hear you.. I'm excited it's coming so soon but I'm a bit worried what it's going to cost me when I get there

A very expensive double edge sword

 

The neck piece can unscrew, but it's connected to the canopy with pins, so as long as they're willing to include the attached canopies on the replacement piece should be an easy toss-in. Hell, including both parts and the head at that point would at least justify a separate packaging and shipping.

Exactly. And with so much more stuff coming out than before, it's not like I've had the same amounts of money to toss aside every month this year, either. Bleh, lol.

 

Any teaser about what's coming next in the paperwork that comes with this?

Ostensibly it's Snapdragon, as we've seen a physical proto for him and haven't for Hardhead or Apeface.

 

Just lineart for Browning at the end of the instructions.

 

Personally, I don't care about the compatibility issue, since I'm not into the headmaster gimmick. The lack of paint on the little dude is a bit unprofessional, but by no means a deal breaker.

The thing keeping me from pulling the trigger right now is the alt mode. I could handle the nose, even if it is odd, but the lumpiness of the tail. That really bugs me, that it's like it's hardly pretending to disguise that it's a robot. I'm trying to decide if my appreciation of the bot mode aesthetics and transformation outweigh my disappointment with that tail.

I don't know how you reviewers do it, getting all those figures as well as attending the events. I can't imagine trying to budget for all that, no matter how fun it must be.
