Play With This Too...

We have our first look at a render of the second design for the upcoming Kickstarter Redux. Jetstrike is a foul-mouthed, bad boy fighter pilot in flying Protector armor in the Lost Protectors universe. According to posts by Play With This Too expect the Kickstarter to begin in September 2015.

Are there going to be the actual robots inside the Pretender Shells or no?

Nope. Check out this vid for their first attempt.

They're more stand-alone deluxe-sized action figures with a good level of articulation, 5mm ports + attachments, and an accompanying smaller "transformable" robot (very simplistic engineering, almost 1980's Micromaster-level).

They have actually said they are completely re-engineering the Tech Drones to be more like Arms Microns. We have not seen the new robots yet, but they will attach to the backs or form weapons for the larger figures. Targetmaster-like.

That would be a welcome upgrade. Even if the alt/weapon-modes aren't really good, as long as the robot modes have a much better resemblance to their vintage designs they won't look like afterthoughts to the Pretender action figure.

I found a nice image comparing the new painted Boneyard figure to the old painted Desolataur figure.

That's pretty good but not sure about Boneyard's proportions. It could be that the bulky armor makes it look a bit goofy.

Play With This Too posted the prototype images of Jetstrike (and his recolors) on their web site. They did say they are changing a few things to make the proportions better. I also note that the joints on this prototype are a little loose, which will be fixed. This is only prototype materials.

The toy will come with 3 head options, 2 sets of hands, helmet, wings, as well as arm cannons and maces that come apart into 5mm peg and port pieces to make into different configurations.

Kickstarter will begin in September. This figure will be available in 4 different colors sets as well as unpainted for customizers to come up with their own designs.
