    Diecast should only serve the purpose of making weak parts strong, anything more is gratuitous.

    Well, just catching up, and this is interesting.

    I'm in for one. My copy of Gewalt is horrible.

    All is fair in love and 3P Transformers war.

    Just how far ahead did FansToys leak the news? Even if they didn't do it, it's a matter of time. MakeToys had several bad timings with their figures.

    FansToys actions seem to indicate that they think there is not enough demand for two of the same figures. And now there is not enough demand for their figures. It's karma.

    I think the only real demand left is the combiners.

    Once these are done, a LOT of people will definitely be done with FT.

    I know I'm in the minority but I just don't care if Fans Toys ever finishes the combiners or not. I'm fine with the other offerings. However- I will be happy to move on from Fanstoys once I get the following:
    1. That April Fools Sky Lynx
    2. A Sandstorm and an Octane (and possibly the Blitzwing but we'll see how Star Toys shakes out) because they would go well with Apache (and Thomas)
    3. Updated Dinobots and Reflector

    I agree with 2 and 3! But 1. Should be a new version of one of their worst figure Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime.

    I'm partially with you, we really need a decent modern Rodimus Prime. The Hot Rod is good enough for me, but I admit my dislike of the character dictates how much I want to invest in yet another one (I had the official at one point, then sold it to buy the Fans Toys, and now I'm just like, ok moving on).

    Definitely need that in a somewhat accurate form, had it as a kid and absolutely destroyed it with playing. The UT version doesn't cut it in the slightest

    I am a bit worried about those LIPS.
    It's why I passed on DS's Blaster.

    I guess it might depend on if FT of XTB come up with a Blitzwing.
    Although patience before those come out could be too much of a challenge.

    Especially since they couldn’t design a smooth or fun transformation if their life depended on it.

    Someone said UT Sandstorm reminds him of Wiener mobile. Recently I just did a comparison on it. I'm laughing in tears :D  1671575356529.png

    That looks very intentional.
