    This is probably the second time Ive even read this thread, and I think its my first comment. I just thought you sounded like a real asshole in the way you were talking. Like one Unicron is a toy and the other is something else. I buy a lot of expensive third party stuff, but Id never refer to them as anything other than a toy, because thats what they fucking are. No amount of paint apps or sculpting will changw what something is

    This product is deader than disco... not gonna happen. I've heard they will likely sell the mold as well. If Hasbro pushed back on retailers for attempting to carry it they're not going to settle down just because the official got funded.

    Is Zeta offering 1 or 2 sizes for Unicron? I know the Bruticus sized one is confirmed, but people were speculating 100 pages back about a larger one. Is that confirmed or just speculation at this point? And is eBay the only place to order this figure?

    Well, people were swearing up and down that Haslab's crowdfund would fail, yet here we are. I'm not trying to come at you or say you're wrong. I'm just not sure how you're so confident. Might as well just wait and see, right?
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Unless you can prove any of this, its mere TFW2005 conjecture.

    IF Zeta were to sell the mould on though, maybe we’ll get an oversized version coupled with a better planet mode, planetary ring lights and Lithone to munch on (@Shockwave81).

    For the right price, I’m game.

    Yeah? Who exactly did you hear this from? What's your source? Cuz I heard that they're going to make an actual planet sized Cybertron next and it's only going to be $50. I heard that from myself when I just said it but that's as valid as any "I heard" statement without a source to back it up.

    It will be completed, well after the HasbroCron is made and sold to the backers. If not by this one, then by another "new" company.

    I'm hoping its pushed back to the summer because i'm paying several hundred a month just for has/tak and 3rd party stuff already between december and march/april.

    I'm hoping it either stays the same size or shrinks a little ... Its gonna be a legends scale unicron for me anyways.

    of course it would be hilarious if right when zeta announces this is a go again, Fans Toys comes out and teases one of their own.

    What I really want to see is some 3P company leak a 3d printed proto of a figure under Takara's moniker, do the pics well enough to fool everyone, watch the official only fans crowd around "oohing and aahhing" at how wonderful it is, and then watch their reaction when the truth is revealed.

    I genuinely believe that a significant proportion of "official only die-hards" would have praised TE-01 if it had a Takara sticker on it and roasted MP-44 if it had been revealed as a 3P effort. Maybe not every supporter, but I'm positive a significant percentage would have flip-flopped.

    Absolutely they would have, no doubt.

    That stupid little stamp is all it takes.

    Yeah, no. Even without the brand sticker, I can spot the hallmarks of the artists at TakaraTomy any day compared to the vast majority of 3P product. And the 3Ps that can come close to matching TT's prowess are honest and prideful enough that they'd never stoop to such tactics.
