    Default <Facepalms> Drift. As a toy.

    Well, it looks like Shane McCarthy will be getting his Drift toy... kind of.

    Are these the same incompetents who made those horrific Ultra Magnus heads?

    if they are the same people, I honestly can't wait to see the final product!

    Drift deserves a toy such as that.

    It seems they are the very same people. They also produce the those "K.O." Cliffjumper kits (said to be of inferior quality).

    Right now it seems as though his feet are joined together by the spoiler...

    Not that the Drift fanboys will mind how crap the toy is, as long as he has swords they'll be happy.

    Eeeep not another reason to dislike Drift.

    I was hoping that Hasbro woulde actualy release a cool drift toy so we could better bond with the character.

    And one would think that if hasbro were releasing their own version of Drift in the near future, they would put a stop to any garage kits, that may impede their sales?

    Looks like hasbro Au may have been correct about the "no drift toy" comment from months ago.

    doubtful, TC!
    But that said, I'd love to get one and assemble/paint etc it - AS LONG AS it actually fits in with the classics/henkei scale

    edit:
    heh - and as long as they don't use crappy manufacturers (damn - I'm from Malaysia and I know they're dodge sometimes, but GEEZ!) they should be cool -

    They should have more experience by now, and deserve another go.

    So... final pictures have arisen:

    To be quite honest - if the maker's painted version looks so...textured (cause of the 3d printing) I'm kinda more glad now that I didnt fork out the cash for it

    Would like to get a Drift toy in the future - but a Hasbro release or something with real good plastic qlty
