More 3rd party Targetmasters on the way

Do you love your new Hercules set? Can't get enough of FansProject's items? Upset that you bought a knock off when you thought you were getting an original? Use this forum to tell everyone your thoughts about unlicensed and knock off TF products.

Let me spell it out differently, using math this time to illustrate my point.

HotHead's POA ( Points of Articulation )
Shoulders X2
Hips X2
Knees X2

Extra POA used for transformation 0

Total of 6 POA.

Mega-Guns POA
Shoulders X2
Elbows X2
Hips X2

Extra POA used for transformation 3 ( Gun barrel, scope, waist )

Total of 9 POA

Figure is larger, and has more joints overall. It's just that 3 of them are only useful for transformation, which was what I was trying to say all along. The more joints you use for the transformation, the less you can use for the robot. HotHead's simpler transformation allows for all his joints to be used on the robot articulation.

Didn't we already come to this conclusion? Math equations do not really work for things that are not equal. You're right though, the Megs has more POA because he needs them. Hot head does not need them bc he turns into a head. My point, which I thought I made pretty clear was that a smaller figure could have good articulation. This figure could be the size as Hothead without losing anything. Granted, the mold probably wouldn't last near as long or you may have to make it by hand, I don't know really. But a smaller design of this figure could be done.

That's really all I have to say. I understand why the figure is the size it is, I can count the number of POA's it has, and I understand you like it the way it is. Personally, I would like it slightly smaller, and I do not thing I'd have to sacrifice any articulation in doing so.

Good clear in package pics now, with readable bios! Turns out Mega-Gun is NOT a shrunken Megatron. :D

Well, a new kind of sense, anyway! Actually, I think this all came about after names were chosen.

Damn Targetmasters are becoming popular. Interesting, in the description they say a fan favorite 3rd party company helped them with these.


I came home from Michigan to find both G1 Megatron and Brownking waiting for me. I guess I forgot I pre-ordered these. Pretty sweet if you ask me. :grin: :APPLAUSE:
