    Yeah, this one is the clear winner in my book. TFC should just pack it up.

    I am personally not a fan of Maketoys transformations, but for those who enjoy those transformations, it's good they have an option.

    But for me, this is the guy. Well, unless TT takes this on,.

    Fans Toys you are TOTALLY WIPING THE FLOOR with TT - are we sure the Masterpiece spec thread isn't actually just FT's release schedule?!

    Sterling work (just give us an alt eye colouring for Not-Shrapnel and my money is all yours)!

    I like it. I'm really diggin' how the seats and all from the backs of the legs. All I need is a plow and hard top accessory, and I'm one happy camper.

    empty wallets, over-packed display cases... higher divorce rate... maybe its a blessing that the companies keep pissing on each others lawns...

    I love this company! I haven't passed on any of their figures. I would argue that they do better job of the Masterpiece line than Takara/ Hasbro!

    Hound looks way better than either the Make Toys or TFC efforts but will be the first FT figure I don't buy.

    Takara's obsession with carbots put me off their line so I don't want my favorite TF company to go the same way.

    Wow, well the answer to the question can they handle real world stuff. Looks even better than MT, more lively face, and better alt mode.

    Did you use the standard 3rd party to reality conversion algorithm on that one?

    This is awesome!!!! Thankfully Fans Toys takes their time and I'll be able to make sure to budget for this.

    It's been about a 3-4 month delay off of the original release date right? So, optimistically = February, likely release = Late March / April.

    Preorders are starting to open. $89.99 is a decent price.

    Very cool. That jeep mode is awesome. Love the little gas tank, trailer hitch, rivets...tremendous attention to detail. Face is actually quite good too. I'm in. :)

    Wow. Pretty spot-on. Fanstoys is really getting better with their face sculpts in the last couple reveals, as well.

    Still ambivalent about buying a figure that I know Takara will get to someday, though. It'll always feel like a placeholder.
