Anyone else here keen on getting their Snarl?
2 versions, metallic painted and chromed!
I only own a couple El cheapo 3rd party figures so I don't really count them, so this will be my first official unofficial transformer lol
Haven't pre ordered yet, waiting to see comparison photos of the 2 versions
Anyone know the best /cheapest place to pre order this ?
I'm interested and like the look of this but it's just slightly too big for me. Reckon I will preorder the FT version shortly
photos??
I normally order from chimungmung, but he doesn't have it listed yet. BBTS still has the chrome version up for pre-order (which is the one I want), but it's a bit pricier than what I would expect chimungmung to be.
I'm inclined to wait a bit.
looks too big... will probably wait a bit.Quote:

Fanstoys for me
It seems to be so easy for KO makers to upsize figures, so it makes me wonder why Giga and even FansToys to a lesser extent don't just release the same toy in 2 sizes to begin with!
Easy to do.Quote:

Anyone been able to lock down a retailer for this guy?
I can't understand why he wouldn't be stocked just like a FansToys release.
Dang, they've knocked it out of the park with this guy - very much a better articulated and larger G1 figure, but still very impressive for a first release!
Though the transformation in the legs is heavily inspired by MP Grimlock. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3H4_6Q1GAUc
And one from Vangelus.Quote:

Wow. Just wow.
That's a beautifully done 3P Dino... Very tempting.
Anybody pre order this?
I've changed my mind I want this figure. He's beautiful. He's my main man Snarl for sure :)

Yeah, this looks like an epic effort. I own FansToy Slag but this line looks superior in design
AgreedQuote:

Yes. They claim to have another 2 released this year with the remaining 2 next year.Quote:

I have pre ordered the metallic version. Was waiting for the chrome version to compare but after seeing the metallic version along side fan toys chrome, I realised the chrome actually looks shit!Quote:

I don't like his "young looking" face.
I don't like how the dino legs remain visible on the legs in robot mode.
I don't like how his chest is all clear.
And maybe it's just in some angles, but I don't like how his shoulders and sides of his chest are half way up his head? Makes it look like he's constantly shrugging?
I love his size though. And the yellow paint is growing on me over the chrome. After heavy considerations though, I think I'm sticking with FT.
^ your not the only one. He does look good, but there is something about Fantoys version that just clicks for me can't really explain it, it just does. I love the chrome and look.
We are just lucky enough as fans to have choices that cater for most of us.
Who'd you order through?Quote:

Yeah that looks the best option
What's the go with their preorder? Do you have to pay upfront?
I paid up front at robot kingdom. Seems like a pretty good deal given that the retail on the figure should be US$199.
I'm torn. I much prefer the cartoon look but this looks amazingly designed to the FansToys stuff.
There goes my idea of sticking to FansToys or my MPs...
I feel your pain brotherQuote:

Don't know if you guys have noticed but TFidownunder have him on preorder... And at a really decent price.
Just bit the bullet and pre-ordered from that mob :)Quote:

A couple of days ago Gigapower put pics up on their facebook page of the upcoming chrome version of their Guttur and damn it looks nice.
