Cool figure. Its amazing that a garage company can do this stuff but the licence holder can't. Bought. :)
That looks awesome:D
Looks very cool indeed :) I'd buy it :D
Looks very nice, but perhaps a tad too close to Spinger not to cause trouble.
Very impressive indeed
noting recent prices, this is going to be VERY expensive i would think
I've always wanted a decent triple changer. My favourites are Blitzwing and Springer but the G1 versions left a lot to be desired.
There is no way in hell im missing this one ^_^
Will this be a complete figure on its own? Or another appendage/armour kit?
What would it attach to? ;)
Anyway, looks hot, but I'd like to know a price first.
Interesting, it has a nice Cybertronian kinda style to it, rather than just being a space car.
Ditto.Quote:

Pretty awesome homage to it's G1 counterpart
Well, Hasbro probably could, if they wanted to sell low numbers of something at the $80 price point which might not meet safety standards, after spending decades marketing themselves as makers of kidsafe products.Quote:

Parents pay for Leader Class, Ultra Class Supreme class.
Low numbers - response - look at the Masterpiece Line.
Kiddy issue's - see below
I do agree with you that Hasbro's focus is kiddys, but across the ocean there's a company called TakaraTomy that can fill the collectors market if they got permission from the daddy. :)
Really, I always thought it was a stand-alone figure for 'Defender', and those resin prototype shots don't show any universe figure underneath that I can see.Quote:

No I was just kidding, it looks to be a stand alone figure. First of its kind I believe by FP? I'm not really a follower so not 100% sure. If it is, then yeh we can expect a fat price on this - considering the recent addon kits sell for heaps.
Duh. I misinterpreted the ':p'.
Yeah, Fans Project's stuff is really good quality though, and I don't have a Springer in my collection at all, so I'll definitely be preordering this one.
Now, if they'd only make a new head for Darkwing that would be sweet :)
Defender looks sweet (and coincidentally totally legally distinct from any TF I've ever seen before), luvvin' the armored car mode.
Yup. I carefully avoided mentioning TakTomy, as it's possible they might be able to do something of the nature. Not having a direct "in" to the Japanese toy market and relevant legalities and economies, though, I thought I'd be better off simply leaving it out of the discussion until someone with more info could step up.Quote:

Millions of happy Transformers customers? I think thats profit enough for them :pQuote:
