    What's the connection with the name Willy & Hound? Same goes for the other 3rd party character names.

    Willy's (or Willy's Overland to be precise) is the company that produced the Jeep for the US Army in WW2.

    Looks fantastic. Still not in a position to buy. I still lack any of the MP cars (tight focus on Generations/CW at the moment).

    This looks better than the maketoys version imo, the waist is in proportion and the feet is not just a box. Head sculpt I have to give to maketoys though. Hmm very tough decision still, I'm a fans toys fan but I'll have to wait for some in hand reviews and comparison between the two.

    At first I though that MakeToys nailed it, but this one looks better to me now. Will wait and see.

    Although an official version can't be too far off.

    I believe TT has mirage and hound ready , probably want to kill these 3p by letting them release and then they announce

    It isn't going to hurt the 3P company's sales if they announce after the 3P toy's release.

    Only way it will hurt them is if they release prototypes, have invested a lot of time and money into the project and its in production then TT release news of an official version. That is likely to kill a lot of sales other than those who have already picked it up on pre-order. I noticed that Fan Toys might be anticipating this as not-Galvatron is on pre-order for a Sept. 16 release. If I was them I'd want to get as many pre-ordered as possible.

    Now on the actual topic, I will probably pick this up even though I'm confident an official version will be released. I love the way Fan Toys have created their pieces and being a little OCD I must have them all! Just not a fan of the feet...
