    They need to show it. There's 3 other established players who have not been pricking about, either show us what you have or be prepared to sell fuck all as preorders go elsewhere.

    Yeah that's a practice that should be buried. Noone gets excited over that shit anymore, especially when you're the fourth effort. We're too spoilt for choice.

    This.
    Anyone can churn out a nice piece of concept artwork but its meaningless when it comes to the final product.

    Thanks, TB, for taking the words out of my mouth (and then posting them here).

    We've got a pretty incredible Springer hitting retail within 2 months (UT) and FT showing full renders and TW showing their thing in proto form. You either show us your shit in full or get lost.

    A face? That's nice. We've got frikkin video reviews of a finished product for Allen, man.

    I thought that image was for DX9s Allen ???
    I'm sure there's a poster with FT, UT and TWs Springer using this image on it !!!
    Ah well , guess I'll b keeping an eye out for this, if the copter mode looks better than UTs version, then I'm sold !!
    Sometimes, when there are too many options, you just wish u had more money :(

    Yep, the copter is on point, the car is the one that could look better to me. And a tad smaller, that would be perfect.

    It's pretty obvious that the details of the drawing match what is shown of the render, so it's really not that hard at all to see where this figure is going. I love what I'm seeing here. I'm definitely getting Allen, but I'm not at all opposed to getting another awesome Springer. FT and TW both dropped the ball pretty hard with their Springers, even if FT will "refine" theirs over the course of the next decade.

    If I know 3P, then this company is probably another well known group under a new moniker :lol

    none of the other springers are what i want so hoping when they reveal the actual toy it looks as good or close to the art work , ut's ( for me ) just don't look right with the other mp's , looks too big and chunky and those barges for feet are an eye sore imho, fits with ut's own mp's perfectly tho

    Instead of the shite loads of skepticism and negativity on something you haven't seen or has been tested, why not cheer on the new 3P contender?...sheesh, I'm starting to dislike wannabe engineers who can only offer up empty criticisms just to have a voice. I for one will be all in for this version if it's done proper.

    Because generally it's better to hype up a new product with actual images of your product. Doing so otherwise doesn't really bode well for your product.

    I'm sure some minds will be changed once we see real images of said product.

    Yeah, I hear you. Sometimes the bitching gets really tiresome. The more the merrier. I'm happy to have so many choices.

    What he said, I'll add to that, unless FT's version is refined to Jsix's standard of proposed changes I have no interest in it, it's good but it doesn't scream Springer, Toyworld doesn't even have a horse in this race as far as I'm concerned!

    It's only very little to go by but if this guy looks spot on to the awesome renders shown, the vehicle modes are accurate, the quality and the scale is there as well, he will be my MP Springer...until TT gets around to him. That face sculpt alone is phenomenal...TT level to be honest!

    You misunderstand. There's no negativity about the product, if there was it'd be ridiculous as we've seen precisely fuck all apart from a head. It's this drip feeding shite like they're trying to get ppl excited. Why? Why should we be when this is the fourth effort from a complete unknown? I head shot might get you salivating but I'd rather see the whole thing first before getting excited instead of artwork. Been there, done that, been disappointed.

    As I see it there's two reasons. It's either not ready at all or there's something they don't want us to see yet. The simplest explanation is more often than not the actual reason. I won't speak for everyone but we had alot of this type of reveal a few years back with the added bonus of silhouettes and ppl got sick of it. tfc still do a kind of blur on their reveals and it doesn't make any sense to hide something to me.
