TFC-Toys Photron camera

[Ultra Mackness]

Couldn't find a thread on this, but the latest tf-source news has this posted up for preorder. A fantastic looking alt mode, but not sure about the bot mode or price tag though.

These do look like really well made & designed figures, for sure - I'm pretty satisfied with my PerfectEffect: Scouting Force X set though. ;):)

I wonder why they chose to push this product out ahead of their other original products that no other third parties has already released? :confused:

I'm quite happy with Scouting Force X, and am interested in a version of Reflector that's a bit larger, but will have to move this way down on my want list behind the other original releases in the months to come.

Maybe they were already committed to it when PE's scouting force was released?

While I am happy with PE's Reflector I do think this toy looks great, and show's a definite improvement in TFC's toy making skill.

They lost me at the size difference between the three bots. The colour choice is a bit crappy too.

But that is a fantastic looking camera mode.

Altmode looks great! Those are definitely robots in disguise!!

Im in the same boat here, but will be interested to get one in hand

This is amazing - by far the most professional-looking third-party product and done without conspicuously infringing upon and thieving intellectual property.

Is the Camera based on a real model?

If not it could certainly pass as one, which if I remember hearing correctly is the exact reason why the TFC Reps at TFCon purposely chose to bring out & display the set in Bot mode because they figured that otherwise people would just think they were holding a camera. :p:cool:

Seems to be loosely modeled to look like a generic SLR camera. Guess they're not going to take the likeness of any major brands as to not incur their legal wrath. Do like how you can take the lens off - a nice little gimmick that adds to the alt mode's realism.

TFC also adds their own style by making the reflector component robots non-identical.
