    Makes me hope the new guy is getting more work from them. We desperately need another 3rd Party player in the mix, and I loved their take on characters.

    I’ve always been a sucker for MakeToys, I LOOOoOVE their stuff!!!!

    I was trying to find a good pic of their Re:Master Chromedome, Pointblank and Hardhead in my collection, but I can only find some glimpses of them. (I’ve since moved and put them in storage where they currently reside, not enough time to unpack ALL this stuff. Haha)

    Here’s some pics of Utopia, the greatest Metroplex toy EVER!!! (So far….)

    Even their Protectobots were soooo cool!!!

    In any case, you bet I preordered this new MakeToys take on Highbrow!


    Oh wait, right in the center of this pic, on that small black shelf, you can see my MakeToys Headmasters with Pointblank and the KFC Twincast.
    Feel free to zoom in on any spot, it was a fun room! :D

    The prototypes in the first post of this thread look like they were 3d printed. So they probably never made any molds.

    Except the ft ones are ugly, hate the esthetic.

    Mt ones look fucking great. Like straight out of a dw comic, instead of that pos ugly ass toon look which most seem to love for reasons beyond me. Bland ass garbage looks don't appeal to me, this look on the other hand, is fucking beautiful.

    Hadn't seen anything about this until listings went up the other day. This looks really fun though. That vehicle mode is something I would have been obsessed over as a kid. Cool, futuristic, swooshable vtol/helicopter thing. Now that I know about it, I hope it actually comes out of purgatory and gets released.

    I'm excited to be able to finish off the 4 autobots all with one company instead of a mix of MT and FT. Heck, I even canceled my PO of FT Chromedome with showz....

    I weirdly might even -prefer- the original prototype mold (as far as fitting in) but put my deposit in at showz anyway :lol
