Wow. This figure is STILL $175 on Ebay. I hope Fanstoys re-release the Insecticons with new facesculpts.

 

Selling my Fans Toys FT-13 Mercenary and FT-12T Grenadier. Link to sales thread Fans Toys Insecticons for sale.

 

Some other expressions for Shrapnel would be so cool his face is way to serious how it is now..

 

Apologies for the necro, but I managed to get an un-boxed Mercenary recently, these lightning effects did NOT come with the figure right?

Anyone know where to get these?

 

Correct. The effects weren`t included. Since the only (unanswered) comment from plasticspark`s site seems to be "Where did you get the plastic lightning effect pieces?", you could/should try contacting him/them directly via contact-option.  

 

I believe those are some well-placed Tamashii Effect lightning effect pieces.

MFC listing, which has some overseas stores that still have it in stock.

 

No need to apologize. Threads were made for posting.

 

Borrowed some lightning effects!

 

Just saw this earlier today.

 

And here is the next balance payment notification from tfs-express. June is gonna be a heavy month with Mercenary, Apache and Starscream...

 

Balance payment from TFS’ sister company Omegalock/Genesis in the UK today as well!

 

actually it's the other way about , omegalock was their original name and site before they changed to tfs-express , they have never got rid of the omegalock site i still have my old account and order history goes back to 2015  

 

The whole thing is so confusing, I never know who is trading as what with those guys!

One thing I do know is they are excellent 9 times out of 10, and I’m excited to see if there are any minor upgrades or changes to this guy the same as being reported for Bombshell.

 

Ooooooh, lets play guess the figure from the price  

 

Now available on ShowZ for order.

 

With all these ft Insecticons reissues, where did ft say they got these from? I thought they had previously confirmed the molds had been destroyed.

How have they suddenly been able to find or make more?

Apologies if this has been answered somewhere already. I searched but couldn't find it.

 

It turned out that the mold destruction story was an urban myth. I think this has been confirmed by dalianjj himself.
This is a genuine rerun that, in the case of bombshell, even comes with slight mold changes.

 

Even if the molds were lost/destroyed, they could have made new molds.

 

From TCP:

 

Thanks for filling me in. I could have swore dalianjj himself was the one who confirmed there would be no more bugs. Oh well... Good for those that missed them first time around.
