FansProject: Retro-Future

[Sky Shadow]

Man... I would've loved these guys - Nice pictures though and as for the "Fan" mode - I think it works.

I'm not sure if the one above is right, but I do assume Fansproject intentionally designed a third 'base' mode of some sort, like Onslaught's battle station mode, Motormaster's ramp mode, Hot Spot's repair bay mode, Scattershot's rocket launcher mode, Silverbolt's launching ramp mode, or Hun-Gurrr's soft serve ice cream dispenser mode. For me, this sort of configuration seems plausible:

I'm almost certain they did dude, considering the lengths they've gone to with everything about these "Retro-Future" figures, it seems practically impossible for them to of omitted such a thing - I'd go so far as to say that they've deliberately omitted the reference, as this was the case with the Hasbro releases of the "Scramble City" combiners wasn't it?

The Hasbro instructions had all the modes except for Hun-Gurrr's one-armed bandit mode - in fact instructions are pretty much the only place most of the modes are even referenced. Hardreturn at TFW2005 has worked out that Tusker also connects to Metroplex!

Ah! - ok, I guess that shows that I've never looked at a G1 combiner's instruction sheet then does it, hehe...

Yeah man, no two-ways about it - There is definitely more to this set than...

Announcing Fans Project Glacialord Pre-order #2

Fans Project Glacialord
When Fans Project conceived the idea of Glacialord, there was only one thing in mind – provide fans with more than just a toy. The goal was to create the nostalgic experience of collecting in a different era for long time collectors as well as new prospective collectors. As long-time collectors ourselves, we understand better than anyone else that one of the most rewarding and satisfying feelings as collectors is finally completing your hunt after embarking on a far and wide search. With that in mind, Glacialord by Fans Project received much support and interest along with many positive reviews. We’re delighted that everyone who supported this concept early is happy with their Glacialord combiner. It was fun and exciting to read and be a part of some of the stories that the fans shared with us. As a result of Glacialord's success in bringing back happy memories, we would like to offer everyone who missed out or second-guessed themselves on our first pre-orders, a chance to own the full set again.

The second pre-order of Glacialord will be open Sunday March 2nd, 2014 at 2:00 PM CST. There will be two sets available for pre-order: The first two limb releases Fangro and Tailclub will be sold as a set of two, and Glacialord as a complete set of five (Fangro, Tailclub, Tusker, Razorspike and Megazero). We will not be selling individual pieces on this pre-order.

Glacialord Fangro & Tailclub Set of 2 - $79.99 USD

Glacialord Complete Set of 5 - $219.99 USD

Just read their mailout - love the retro poster; the complete set is very tempting

I don't like the kid's pose. It wrecks the vintage ad feel of the poster and more in the realm of 'Look at my kid!' amateurism.

He should have been shown playing with Glacial lord instead.
