Fan Toys FT-04 Scoria (Slag)

[CBratron]

Is it completely crap or ok?

The design looked cool

Judging from my Mugen Vox (the Soundwave repaint), it's crap.

Only looks good in robot mode.
While the joints are nice and firm the most important one feels like it'll snap whenever I move it. The 'microscope' is mounted on a jointed arm that ends in the smallest L-shaped bar and tiniest ball joint. The ball joint is continuously popping out and the L-bar is so thin it's already developing stress marks.

Yeah thats about right. But it does make a nice looking perceptor in bot mode.

Ooh, shiny! Was browsing through the TFW thread and I get the impression there will be two decos released - animated and toy. Haven't found the source for that, though.

That's it. Have to preorder.



True. Dalianjj said it. However toy deco won't be released at the same time.

I am fairly sure Dalianjj said that both Scoria and the upcoming Not-Swoop will be released in 3 versions. Cartoon accurate first, then G1 toy accurate with a final special edition coming last.

It's all there in the TFW2005 thread.

Transformers Third party still astounds me. All the possibilities, fun time to be a collector

How much?

[Gofigure]

Will double check for you on exact numbers

i know in the past overall and compared to others their shipping has been a little cheaper

I even got the Planet X not omega + not swoop for free shipping thru them

Optibotimus has a video review of his pre-release sample up now. By all accounts it lives up to the precedent set by Quake Wave.
