Our man in the UK Sol Fury sent us an update from Auto Assembly, summarizing the 3rd Party Panel that took place earlier today. Lots of new info below, but the big reveals were a 3rd Party Masterpiece Blaster by KFC toys (now renaming to Toys Xpress). There will also be a KFC Blaster done in green called Ghetto Blast. Check out the incoming notes, and feel free to discuss it all in the 3rd Party forum!
