    Default Fan Toys FT-04 Scoria (Slag)

    From the makers of Quakewave: Fan Toys FT-04 Scoria (MP Slag)

    The toy is made to scale with MP Grimlock. It appears to be a couple of cm taller than MP-08 Grimlock but that height may be due to the Triceratops hood which is perfectly alright. It's possible that they are trying to prevent irrational fan anger by adding the 'lift' accessories.

    From TFW:

    - It is 25cm is tall to his head and to the top of the figure is about 27cm.
    - It will come with an add on part for MP-8 to make it almost same height as Ft-04.

    If it ends up anything like Quakewave, I am sold!

    Quakewave was decent but flawed. This looks a lot better.

    I don't suppose they've mentioned the other two dinobots?

    Looking forward to their treatment of Jeffire as well. The other 3PP Jetfires have been kinda cruddy.
    Which brings us to where we are today...

    NIce. I'm basing it from their initial Salvo - Quakewave. Hope it's as good of better in quality. Love that they're able to articulate all the fingers . So I guess the sword will have that light up gimmick as well from the looks of it.

    From those silhouette beside him they plan to do Swoop as well....me likey!! Can't wait... oooh If they make Snarl with golden plates, Im so sold on that !! Snarl's my fave!

    Im right now wishing they make a Megatron as well, since Hasbro isn't interested at all in making one and is quite inhibited in making a decent one as well due to gun laws and materials and costs. We need stronger plastics for MP types of figures...

    $200 price tag is a bit much but it's standard for Takara Masterpieces.

    I'm very much looking forward to seeing how they make the hind legs disappear into the robot legs. Looking at these pics I have an idea but nothing beats finding out first hand.

    Any figure that comes with swords demands wrist articulation.

    The FT rep has indicated on TFW that the price is higher due to FT-04 having roughly 100 more parts than FT-03, resulting in the mould costs being nearly double. If they hold to the same timing as their last figure, we're probably looking at a February-March release.
