Bullsfire DB-01 "Airstrike"

[CBratron]

Just got an email about this 3rd party MP Swoop from a new outfit named Bullsfire. From the website I'll guess they're based in HK or China.
Looks okay but isn't particularly special and definitely not worth $200.

BBTS has it listed for pre-order (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=BFR10000&mode=retail). No sign or pics of alt mode.

it looks pretty good and MP size :)

I thought the Quakewave people were doing Swoop after Slag.

Still, this one also looks nice.

I was kinda hoping for a more classics style swoop the size of MMC's Predacons for half that price rather than an MP toy. Though I must admit that does look pretty nice as an MP Swoop.

Anyone getting this one over the Fans Toys 'Soar' (not Swoop)?

[Oberon Sexton]

Personally, I'm getting the Fans Toys. I like the scale better. This one scales with official MP Grimlock though. So I do see the appeal.

Test shot review of this figure by Peaugh. It looks fantastic, but I'm sticking to Fanstoys. :)

Hmm. Pterodactyl mode is a flying box.

i think fan toys version of not swoop looks better

Definitely agreed. Considering people labelled (unfairly IMHO) Scoria as being a potato, it surprises me that there isn't more outrage of the Tupperware container with wings, or the drumsticks hanging off the back of the robot mode...

i just watched peaugh's test shot review, looks like the core of this comes directly from mp starscream.. and the dinobot mode legs just looks out of place imo

Watching that I notice the chest transforms the same as a MP Jet. :rolleyes:

as soon as i saw the chest transformation i was pretty disgusted and turned it off.

Anyone know of or heard when DB-01 Airstrike will be released?

Shouldn't be too far off. A large majority of popular reviewers have done reviews of coloured testshots for this figure already, so I'd say they're probably working out a problem one of the reviewers might have had.

The 6 months delay (and counting) is giving me the sh!ts. Every month, it's been pushed out by a month. I'd much prefer they just announce a realistic future release date.

Remember 3rd party company QC works like this.

see what he breaks.
fix what he breaks.
