    I'd be interested but could you give us a rough idea of what price point you'd be looking at

    We're still working that out at the moment.. but the price point isnt going to be out of reach for a limited edition, though as you can see the volume is not huge.

    What I can say is that the more orders we get, and up to 50, then the price comes down.

    Sorry.. thats the best I can do.. based on what people are prepared to pay, we can then know whether this is a goer or not and start to negotiate with production houses.
    But thought I would open this for all OTCA to also have input on the overall design and gimmicks. The more the gimmicks, the more expensive but this one is for die-hard fans like us.

    But I have to be clear, once the 50 is gone, there wont be anymore until Tak decides to announce theirs somewhere in the distant future if any..

    Lets call this an expression of interest.

    But rest assured, it wont as high as some of the F&R customs you see on eBay and at this stage, it is kept in AUD.

    Prolly around $300, but, Im hoping he's got more Die-cast parts than Screamer, Megs or the rest of the MPs after Prime. After prime all the MPs are mostly plastic which is kinda dissapointing for their price points. Also for gimmicks/ accessories, of course there's the "bling" Matrix.... hmmm what else, perhaps the tank threads realy work? More poseable and a steadier stance even with his lasr cannon in place. Megsy just tips over. erm from that pic - mebbe a more thicker forearms, he looks froggy like with them puny forearms. Oh and better quality plastic not so too brittle and not stress crack prone. Ill take just one, as there's only going to be about 50 , best to get only one so more people can enjoy it.

    For one of the voice in lines - mebbe a maniacal laugh?

    I'm down for one, anywhere up to $500-$600. It's conditional on images though the above images are extremely promising and I'd pay for that.

    Sure. Understand on the conditional images. But from what I have seen these guys do, they dont compromise on quality or dissappoint. Regarding die-cast, maybe depending on the production cost.

    Just to confirm, this is only an EOI, so there are no commitment till you guys see the final product in mold.

    But its great that OTCA gets a say in the design and for us to understand what fans are prepared to pay.
