Just got the email from RK - my shadow scyther has shipped!
does those wing attatchments stay locked in yours?? Mine is loose as kind of just sits there doesnt fit in nicely but cool nonetheless but i left the head thing off other ones looks better
did you press them in (with more pressure than normal) and hear a click. Mine sits very very firmly and snugly.
yeah if you have the henkei version, gently apply pressure downwards until a small 'click' since you dont want to scratch them.Quote:

Finally had a chance to have a look at this guy, hmm top notch as usual for modern FP products. At first I wasn't connecting him right but then I got it. I'm always amazed that FP can make the extra parts stick on better than most manufacturers can make the parts that actually come with the toys stay on.
My only real complaint so far is the gun barrel of the base mode keeps detaching, the eyes could have been done a bit better too but its at least as good as Hasbro.
Also mine has floppy legs, but that's Hasbro's fault. :p
What do you mean by the gun barren from the base mode detaching? You mean the rifle that acts as a 3rd barrel?Quote:

How does it detach? The barrel on mine is pretty solid and stiff, I can't see how it can fall off unless it's not assembled properly or I am misunderstanding.Quote:

I'll try to replicate the issue and see if I can find a solution.Quote:

I could glue it if it becomes an issue, but I'd rather not.
Well, Peaugh has done it again - Checkout his video review of FP's Shadow Scythe. :eek:
its unfortunate but scalpers are selling henkei wildriders at $500+US and the Shadow Scythe upgrade at $300+US.
Whilst I really, really want the pair - I'm not going to shell out in excess of $1000 for anything like this, that sort of money is reserved for Fort Max and the Japanese G1 figures. ;)Quote:

There's a special place in hell for scalpers. And I assume it involves devil children with chocolatey fingers touching rare MOC toys.Quote:

It came with an extra part that looks like a set of white and black fingers with 2 pegs on it. There was no mention of it in the instructions.
Does anyone know what this is for?
It's in case he feels like shaking hands with Voyager Classics Optimus Prime.Quote:

It doesn't work that well but it's an unexpected bonus and the thought that counts.Quote:

Thanks for that. Doesn't seem so useless now. Might try it out.
TFX-04C Protector Trailer Limited Edition Clear Version
I posted on their FB asking if they would do an E-Hobby version

Can it be filled with BURNING JUSTICE if it's not an official Takara product?
Apparently yes? Fansproject showed off some prototypes at botconQuote:

HOLY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY THEFT BATMAN!
Seaspray, powerglide, huffer and perhaps G2 Prime do not seem to be fansProject's. The minibots appear to be IGear's while G2 may be from a newcomer.Quote:

It's easy to tell because FansProject has a particular style to their sculpts which the minibots don't fit into, specially Powerglide which looks very 'G1'.
Looks really similar to that 3rd party Powerglide kit that was released ages ago.Quote:

Yeah G2 Prime could be FansProject's but I am not certain, that's why I said 'perhaps' when it comes to him. It could also be a newcomer.Quote:

Sure is. I take it back. Looks like there's two competing Seasprays.
Man, TFsource did not think this one through... :rolleyes:
I too share the opinion of Kup in that FP have a distinctive style and whilst the G2 upgrade looks like it could be one of theirs, I don't believe it is as they normally make things quite clear as to what they're releasing. ;)
That Grimlock 'Heartmaster' looks interesting and is definitely FP. :cool:
The Insecticons, whilst evidently must be mock-ups, look so freaking cool! :D
Those minibots really don't seem to be hitting the mark IMO and definitely aren't FP products as they don't bare any of the engineering and design finesse. They look way too G1 IMO. :o
That Huffer and whoever concepts look pretty meh also. :rolleyes:
Confirmed as FP by the guy who does the FP video reviews (Diablien):
"Fansproject. The iGear minibots are only there in the form of an image."

There is also another seaspray along with the powerglide combo. From what I read, these are supposedly FansProjects' alongside War Within "Heartmaster" Grimlock and the G2 Prime trailer.
I'm not sure which of the 2 seasprays to get... will have to compare later.
Huffer is most likely bought. G2 Prime Trailer... im on the fence since I have yet to get the basic figure.
Just too much awesomeness from 3rd parties @ Botcon.
