I too, like CP am slightly skeptical of the die-cast. I mean don't get me wrong I love die-cast, it really turns my crank, but it may make the figure top heavy and overall shitty to display in dynamic poses. I mean I want springer jumping all over the place.
Yeah, we don't want Transformers Titanium rehashed on a $90+ figure for us Canucks.

Don't remind me... I went to TFSource's website and have you seen how much they're selling the Snowman Armor for now? $99! I was going to order it today with Defender because it was only like $40 or $50 but now I can't justify it.

Our dollar is par with the US but we still get served a nice cup of poison cappuccino thanks to the good bastards at border customs. I'm sure FP's stuff will show up at TFCon, so i'm in no rush.

Definitely on the fence regarding this one. Really need to wait on a review before I pull the trigger on this one and hopefully that won't be too late. Maybe it's because I brainwashed myself into liking the Universe version as my classics Springer but these pictures are really not doing it for me. Probably setting too high a standard to gauge FP but this looks like ass to me compared with the greatness of what they are doing with Bruticus. That's the beauty of Transformers though because you never really know what your going to like or not until you play with it.

I must say that I do like how this guy looks in all three modes. Might have to go ahead and take the plunge and pick him up.

I am sorely tempted into buying this guy. I don't even like G1 and I have to say that that kicks ass. Hard.

It's Springer. A triple changing Springer... who'd have thought. Interesting, the guy was never redecoed into other characters, so I don't know how their going to spread the love of this mold besides saturating the market.
He's a little blank, and I was hoping for a heavier saturation scratch that, the inbox close-up is exactly what I wanted to see. In that case he doesn't need as much reprolabels to pretty him up as I thought. (I'm just sayin', I'd still get the reprolabel kit).

I'm not going to lie, these pics have made me a little hesitant.
Of course, I'm going to get him, but now the burden of awesome is on the toy. Looking at the panel movement, I'm wondering if this toy is going to feel appropriately "solid".
