Interesting that this pops up so late but has an articulated tail and folds the dino legs away neatly.
Looks good, but I already have Fans Toys Scoria so its an easy pass for me
The Dino legs fold away pretty damn neatly on the FT versionQuote:

Looks OK but I imagine most collectors have a 3rd party version of the Dinobots by now so I don't know why you would bother making another one.
Actually I'm one of those who doesn't have a 3rd party dinobot :( Reckon if I start it's a slippery slide to a whole new 3rd party collection.

I'll pass too.... nothing wrong with SCORIA....
It seems to have worked out ok for Shockwave/Quakewave/Laserwave/Wavewave.Quote:

With the amount of 3rd party releases these days, I don't see how anyone can keep up with it all, so I think re-releases and updates will become more common so people who didn't get said character a few years ago, can have another chance.
Exactly the reason I only collect genuine MP scale stuff. The 3rd party MP stuff is awesome but where do you stop? My bank balance would never forgive me if I started :)Quote:

Can't imagine anyone re-buying the whole line tho but good for new collectors who wants to buy into the 3P dino line
If the final product definitely looks like it fits with the Dibots, I'll probably pick this up. Loved my toon Scoria when I got him, but it's interesting to see how far they've come with each new dibot so an update isn't entirely unwelcome (except for the cost, of course). Plus I was hoping for an eventual re-release anyway as my Scoria now has a chrome chip/flake at the base of his horn that bugs the hell out of me. An updated version would scratch that itch. But a new not-Swoop would have to be a phenomenal update, and the others are perfectly fine as is. Although the way the "photos" are staged makes it seem like they're only doing a not-Slag.
well that's that.. "Pf will only make slag. No other dinobots." dalianjj (tfw2005)
