EDIT:

 

This guy does slowly grow on me, i am going from indifferent to considering now.
Also, looking at this photo from daimchoc fb page, he seems to have ab-crunch, which i think is a first for IF minibots? Definitely adds more point for me.

 

had me already when it was first announced as i was slapped in the face by this one and told "buy me!".  

can't wait to get this in hand and have it with the rest of my IF autobot crew. think it's looking especially good along side beachcomber.

 

Baba updated to incoming with a price of $33.65.
Iron Factory IF EX-55 Surfing Arrow Mini Action Figure Toy in coming

As is the usual now for smaller items, there is a $6 shipping charge that can go to zero if you order more stuff.

definitely this is my favorite design for seaspray

 

Really nice to see how IF's latest minibots have had really nice Alt-modes vs their usual "more suggestive of a vehicle" style

 

Why no love for Warpath? Only IF missing S2 minibot is Cosmos.

 

It's probably cause the three of them were all released in the last year, but I agree that it would've been nice to see some shots with Warpath included.

Still, I figure we'll see some such photos once this is finally out.

 

I missed out entirely on Warpath. Somehow it came and went before I really knew it. It’s probably my least favorite minibot, so I’m not exactly kicking myself, but I do wish I’d been able to get it.

 

Its too bad Warpath, Cliff jumper, and Power glide don't have the optional hands. They really do add a lot to the posing for something so simple.

It'd be cool if IF offered, say, replacement arms and hands for these minibots with their future releases. Not likely to happen but would really give new life to them.

 

Hi,

I would appreciate if you didn’t share Sun’s videos until he decides to change his logo.

Black Sun (symbol) - Wikipedia

 

I understand you have a concern, but without evidence it's just a guy talking about toys. You don't have to watch the video but he tends to have great content. I hope you have voiced a concern to him directly and maybe even youtube if you feel so strongly.

 

I'd take a repaint with a new head, if possible.

 

I did, and they were unsympathetic in their reply.

And then they blocked me.

Now, I’m not primarily concerned with intent, so all the evidence I need is the logo itself. There’s no denying what it is. Though, their reluctance to change their logo after being told by myself and others over the years is also concerning, but not quite something I have any influence on.

I also have no idea where they explained how they happened upon an esoteric Nazi Symbol, did zero research into that symbol’s context, and then stuck with that symbol despite being told by multiple community members that that is disturbing. But, if they know enough to say that they don’t “do anything related to the Black Sun” then they know very damn well enough why it might disturb people to see that symbol all over their hobby.

Still, I don’t care how they came to use it, nor why they’ve convinced themselves that that it is okay to continue to do so.

I simply do not want to see that hateful symbol in this fandom.

So, I don’t mind you taking a snapshot and attributing stuff to them, but I would appreciate excising the Schwarze Sonne that Sun of the Empire uses as a logo when doing so, which of course you’ve already provided an example of doing so with your screenshot, above.

Thank you.

 

I think it's a BayVerse transformer eye. See the image below. I believe the resemblance to the Schwarze Sonne is just a coincidence unless you believe the BayVerse movies contain secret Nazi symbols. Which I guess is possible 

 

Outside of the two being purple, I think that's where the similarity ends.
