iGear reveals PP03E - MP Dirge

[FFN]

Oh boy, they even use the official Dirge MTMTE art on their solicitation image.

[kristofferrer]

oh krud -
that's just brilliant.


this isnt good for my pocket.

[TheFallen]

I have to admit, that looks pretty damn good. And with Ramjet and Thrust in the silhouettes that makes it even more exciting

But how far can iGear go before Hasbro puts the kabosh on them? However, there are still plenty of knock off companies out there making G1 KO's so I guess that will make iGear safe

I just don't want to see one bad apple ruin the tree. I don't want anything bad to happen to FansProject

You can't really hate on a company that is giving you items that Hasbro can't or won't

[foor]

Very awesome!

Succulent.


That Dirge looks massive. Is that an MP Prime it's standing next to?

Nah that would be their mini MP Prime they did a little while ago. Same engineering, just smaller

[SharkyMcShark]

It's their MP Prime downsized knockoff - ostensibly their upcoming Dirge will be the same size as the Masterpiece seekers.

Anyway this is ridiculous, although I'm sure if Hasbro had any intention to shut them down they would have already.

Still personally I'm not going to support them with my money - as nice as a Masterpiece Dirge would be I'm not forking over to a company that is now habitually ripping off 90% - 100% of the engineering of HasTak with each of its releases. As well as artwork now aswell.

As well as artwork now aswell.

This may become the catalyst. Who knows. All I know, is HasTak needs to release the Coneheads as MP, because obviously the fandom want them. And primarily, it's the fans that buy these.

Well see that's the thing that rubs me the wrong way about this release.

With their Faith leader, copying MP Prime and downsizing it is a dick move in itself but Prime had been released a lot of times. Whereas this is now moving into areas that HasTak might be going into in the future.

Which sets a dangerous precedent if they let it go.

I'm not saying OMGZ MP LIEN RUINED or similar but it doesn't sit right that they've gone from copying stuff that exists to (while still copying HasTak designs and engineering) making official Transformers characters that HasTak may make in the future.

I just don't think the 'well maybe if Hasbro gave us what we wanted this wouldn't happen' excuse holds water here.
