    Saw the updated thread...
    20190326_192856.jpg

    and you all knew this was coming..

    The only news about a shipment I can report on is Pitch went on the truck with nine others, heifers mostly on Wednesday.

    20190327_102339.jpg

    Beef of the cattle business is some cows don't produce so well as others or can burn out too quickly, like most third party companies too. The problem with Pitch is her last two "releases" were a heifer who was probably a month premature, very small and brittle like gold plastic only with brown fur, and her last bull calf she weaned off too early and died of malnutrition... Not all failures end in El Cid.

    It's better than a bump with no substance. Speaking of bumps, when this guy comes walking up to you to be his personal back scratcher.. oblige him!

    I was walking out in the field to wish Grayson a happy birthday, he turned four this year! and now he shares a birthday month with his new baby brother.. more on him in a bit..

    20190324_194402.jpg

    Thanks, so's talking to them face to face.

    My father catching up with the elder sire of the herd, Hydrox. He'll be shipping out sometime this year too. At 9 years old going on 10, it's time to make room for the next generations. Hungy is the only one on the field with "FOREVER" Status.

    Word for the wise, you don't get in their blind spots or between them, they kind of take it personally but Grayson was looking for a fight that night..

    20190320_193608.jpg

    1:1 scale, no plastics or diecast but their action features are more impactful!



    How does Version 1.0 compare to the Version X2.0? ... Version 1.0 won the fight, but X2 calmed down. Besides the Methane burps, cows tend to fart hormones before and after calving and Gray was on the offensive because it was his Mother that just calved and he was being VERY defensive and competing for the Dominant Herd Sire status.

    Don't let the masks fool you, this isn't Oedipus. I've kept track of Freida's "production schedule" and I can say the mold injection machine for Paddrick was Hungy. Same father of Grayson.. so you could say Paddrick is a remold!

    20190329_190753.jpg

    He gets his name from being born on St. Paddy's Day.. Lucky him, amiright?

    There was a time Hungy could..

    At this point, those real bulls are more likely to appear in this thread than updates on the actual figure.

    ...not that I mean that as a complaint in any way. In other threads, random bumps are an annoyance. In this thread, those pics make for a wonderful consolation prize.

    Though I'm sure there are some people who come to see updates and end up leaving like this...

    There's actually some varieties of beef based potted meat, mostly it's corned beef.. and that's no bull.

    I think they changed focus right now to something that isn't so niche as Beast Bots nobody expected or generally wanted.. not saying it's not worth it. For me its a two fold Want, a bull and Sideswipe. but this just more of the same as EVERY Third Party company when it comes to... everything.

    I mean let's face it... FansProject Function X Hardhead, Maketoys RE:Master Crosshairs, nuff said.

    I pre-ordered it awhile ago. Now it's just the wait. Just ask @ShowZStore if there's any updates.

    Okay.. Hopefully he's got a sense of humor..

    @ShowZStore Irma wants to know, "where are my num num?"

    Though seriously, I didn't know the figure was available for preorder yet... When was there any update on the figure?

    Ok so this was revealed on the GT Defensor thread but I'll relay it here. GT got bullied off their weibo site from people accusing them of faking reviews or something similar. The owner finally had enough. Not too sure on the details but they stopped posting around the start of January.

    As their Facebook is dead weibo was their one site used to reveal updates ect. Someone more knowledgeable than me stated GT are stepping back from the drama to focus on their products.

    So for all we know this guy is done and almost ready to ship? Who knows...

    I'd be surprised if this isn't out relatively soon. They've got at least the one painted prototype or coloured test shot or whatever it is, and it looks beautiful. I just wish Generation Toy's prices were a little lower than they are (might help with the seemingly low sales so far, but then again, so would having more releases in the line), but I'm all in on this line.

    So you're opposed to bovine-shaped yams then?
