FT-30D: Hollywood (Scheduled for 2021)

 

Thanks for your hard work.

In the revised "next release" part, I would suggest using the same denominators you use elsewhere for clarification:

Instead of "Expected Next Release(s) in order: FT-16M Sovereign , FT-44 Thomas , FT-31D Smokey, FT-45 Spindrift"

Expected Next Release(s) in order: FT-16M Sovereign [Movie] , FT-44 Thomas , FT-31D Smokey, FT-45 Spindrift 2.0

 

So based approximately on how many figs they've put out this year, looking like: Chomp, Outrider, Berserk, Acoustic Wave, Tesla 2.0 and Huffer for 2021 I'm guessing? Completion of their two combiner sets peppered through the early part of the year?

Jazz & CJ in 2022, maybe joined by the likes of Scourge, Devvy & Gnaw into 2023 to round out their already very full '86 movie bot cast, I'm hoping.

 

Until than this can change! Dont forget there FT-02 and FT-02B seporately. Also 2 arealbots and FT-31E also will take room for more issues. So good chance more will be pushed to 2021 lets hope we wont hape Covid-19 take 2..

 

Done!


Also, Fans Toys verified again the expected released information that @Aaronstampler shared previously. The above order appears to be the best information available... I think it also infers that FT-30D is going to be among the first, if not THE first release of 2021.

 

Shit wait that's YOUR site? Damn, I figured originally it was some random site that popped up from out of nowhere. Sorry if the flack I originally put out was a bit too much, haha. Best of luck with it, buddy.

 

No problem, thanks!

 

How likely does anyone think we will get a terminus reissue?

 

I would say unlikely. You can still find it close to regular price so it doesn't seem like it's in high demand, but maybe!

 

I personally hope we do. Stability issues aside, I personally find the aesthetics of Terminus more pleasing personally than Gabriel, mainly with Gabriel's claw looking too sharp in comparison to TG, which I think nails it.



At the same time, should I need to go with Gabriel over TG, I wouldn't object.

 

I hope they reissue Lupus at some point. Fine if it comes out after Chomp.

 

8/14 Update w/regards to the FT-43 name change

* At the time of release the figure's name changed from the anticipated "Dunerider" to "Dunerunner." Per Fans Toys, the name change was due to "someone made a mistake."

 

Haha, name mistake and the incorrect bios on the box and card. Someone had a wild Thursday night before heading to the printers at 7am.

 

Just launched a new series.

 

Given the wrong bio at the back of the box, I am surprised that this thing didn't turn out to be DuneRidan or Sherider.

 

They could clear it up entirely by going with Muad'Dib

 

I'm planning on creating something like a FansToys product information page and would like to know which information you would like to see there.
I've already commented with Roxxor that I will use this thread as a basis, but I want to include more information that is scattered thru TFW and other sources.

An initial list of info that I thought of:

Code/Number

Date of revised render reveal and where
Date of color reveal and where
Redesigned Y/N and info
Release date

Any other info that might be interesting to show? I am also aware that it won't be possible to get all detailed information for all the products, in particular the first ones.
