Play With This Too...

Why bother with this tease, when they released a beautiful full colour of him earlier? Am I missing something (re old, new parts, etc)

This is a new figure named Boneyard. The one that was released in full color was called Desolataur.

The Boneyard unpainted prototype was on display at TFcon Tornoto 2015, as well as appearing in the TFcon third party product preview panel. For those interested, here is a peek:



They have said they are revising some details and sizes already, and have a second prototype being done now, and a prototype for their other figure, Jetstrike, is on the way. Here is a teaser:

Play With This Too released a render of the first look at Jetstrike's head design on Facebook:

First hand painted prototype pictures of Boneyard. This figure is hand painted by Jason Brehn. Of particular coolness is the paint detail on Boneyard's robot head, check out the teeth on the helmet in the second picture:

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.
