Ok....so I, like so many of you out there, am a very big fan of the WST series. Since they are so hard to come by (not necessarily hard to find, just hard to buy at times due to the price), I have often found myself turning to Heerotoysmaker on ebay. Im sure you all know he makes tons of the WST figures as Knock off's, and the quality of his figures, to me, is amazing.

Recently I ordered Heerotoysmaker's WST Stepper with his targetmaster Ricochet http://www.heerotoys.com/goods.php?id=101, which is only $20 from the site I just listed, and on the confirmation email that I recieved back, he announced that he was working on a G1 KO WST Tracks!!!!! I dont know about everyone else, but I am absolutely stoked about this news.

Maybe you have allready known about this information, or maybe this is all news to you. But in my opinion, we need to give this guy a hell of a lot more business to make sure that he stays in business to keep giving us these great KO WST figures.

I also emailed HeeroToysMaker to see what it would take to get a couple more WST figures in the works. I dont know if anyone remembers this, or even if anyone knows about this, but the WST Ultra Magnus (with his G1 trailer) was a Japanese wonderfest exclusive, and the actual Takara version of this figure can fetch some big bucks. Well HeeroToysMaker got his hands on this mold, and mass produced it, and now sells this KO version of the WST Ultra Magnus with his trailer for $25 shipped (What a great freaking deal). There were another couple figures that were exclusive to the Japanese Wonderfest a few years later. And those figures were WST G1 Arcee, WST G1 Springer, WST G1 Wheelie, and WST G1 Goldbug. I asked him how hard would it be to get his hands on those molds, and mass produce them, and sell them at a reasonable price just like he did for WST G1 Ultra Magnus. He informed me that he had no plans on making them at this time, and currently he was focused on finishing his WST G1 Tracks figure.

Now, I dont know if anyone reading this is familiar with these great looking WST figures that were exclusive to the Japanese Wonderfest, but the last time I looked for them online, they were going for several hundreds of dollars a piece. (just because they are so rare)

I need everyones support, especially if you are a fan of the Worlds Smallest Transformer Line, to start asking this guy to get these figures into production. Please, Please, Please, PLEASE help me out with this.....I really want to get my hands on this figures without having to 'break the bank' so to speak.

I wont post pictures of the figures, because every time I try to post pictures on this site, they never end up staying on my posts. But I will however post links to their respective pictures.

So again, please, if you are as stoked as I am about adding these incredible WST figures to your collection, please get in contact with HeeroToysMaker, http://www.heerotoys.com/index.php, go to the contact section of his site, and shoot him an email requesting these awesome WST figures. And who knows, maybe if enough people request them, maybe he will finally put them into mass production.

If you took the time to read this post, and took the time to contact Heerotoysmaker about this, leave a comment below.

If you are an AVID WST collector as I am, please pm me and let me know. I would like to share pictures of my WST collection, and would also like to see other peoples WST collection

 

I'm a massive fan of WST stuff and buy prob too much from Heero already   Think the only two Wonderfest items I have are Stepper and Arcee. The problem for him is I guess he's a single person and to make enough money he needs to do molds which can be sold in different colours easily  

 

i'd buy. redoing Arcee as the other female autobots and paradron medic should be easy.

Looks like he made a chrome Bumblebee now...

Nice, would go well with my red and yellow shiny ones  

 

I got 6 versions of WST UM from Heero, 4 of them were ordered directly from him on Ebay. Yeah, his WST UM quality was awesome! I love WST, so definitely be getting his Jazz, Tracks WST once I got a chance. I'm hoping he'll do a WST Metroplex.

 

...I too have probably spent way too much on Heero's products, but they are so worth the $$. I picked up the WST Magnus as soon as it became available and absolutely love it.

I am surprised however that he never KO'd the Bluestreak/Prowl mold. Just as is being speculated in the MP discussion...you've got at least 3 repaints right there not to mention the clear versions he always does.

...and considering how much an actual WST Bluestreak goes for...hmmmmm

As for Springer & Arcee...I'm on board. Just can't get enough of the WSTs.

If he's currently working on Tracks I hope we get him in Blue, Black and Red.

 

It would be awsome if he could get the WST Predaking figure, and duplicate that one...

 

I have 7 versions of UM at a kick count   I already have his Jazz and Stepper ordered, have the DIY version of stepper too but haven't managed to put it together yet!

He did seem to avoid the rare versions a fair amount, just look how long he out off Thundercracker and Skywarp. But I'd be amazed if that wasn't on his list to work towards. I have Bluestreak already but wouldn't mind a ko version too  

 

I had no idea he had a website. Prices are better there than on eBay. Looks like I'm going to be spending about $200 once my income tax refund gets here.

 

I've used his website loads, had no problems with it so far except it not working on the iPad...

 

Id love to see that Wonderfest Megatron stock/silencer/scope pack. Thatd be my dream

 

Wow, thanks for all the replies guys...I guess the WST fan base really is bigger than I thought it was. Hopefully we can get HTM to make those figures

 

I'm a huge fan of his work, like others here I have many, many of his figures and all of them have been great quality.

Im fairly certain the Wonderfest toys were castings, and the Ultra Magnus was actually more crude than Heeros version...though it is still desirable because it had Takaras blessing, I'm sure most of us are happy with Heeros.

So given this I'm also 99% sure he didn't get the tooling, and he in fact made his own tooling which is injection molding like the Takara WST. Making such tooling is thousands of dollars, so Heeros likely finances his tools with sales from his previous projects.

I would definitely buy the other Wonderfest figures if/when he makes them, and we could all petition and commit the money...but we do need to remember these are KOs and he may not want to attract too much attention.

Thanks for the website...looks like I need to buy Stepper and help finance his next project!!!!  

 

I seem to recall the reason this guy makes such good WSTs is because he was the one designing them for Takara back in the day. The line got cancelled, but he wanted to keep doing them. Since he already had the steel molds from the official run, he was able to just do additional runs of the new colored stuff. The only new molds he had to make were the wings for the other two coneheads, the trailer for Magnus, and the G2 voice boxes for the Prime, Starscream, and Ramjet.

 

And the music label trailer and g2 trailer of course.

 

I understand that me made all those, and he did a fantastic job on them all by the way. I just really want him to expand his business and give me his own versions of WST arcee, springer and wheelie

 

Much that I'd love him too I can completely understand why he'd go for the ones that'd make it easier for him toget his money back from, though obviously Justitoys must've done well enough to continue.

 

Would there be interest in a limited box set of Heero's stuff in special colors? Something like 5-8 figures in alternate schemes? Might be "mirror universe" colors, or various different colors based on unreleased or foreign color schemes, Diaclone colors, or some kind of mix of the above. If there was a cohesive theme there might be some that already exist as a part of the set mixed with others that are all new colors.

 

This is true, but obviously the market for Heerotoysmakers WST's is just as big as the desire for the JustiToys products
