Mistake. Even with their free delivery option, orders from Kapow Toys cost more than ordering from BBTS, TFSource or RobotKingdom and paying to get them shipped in from different continents. It's ridiculous.

I agree. I thought they looked a little different when Seibertron posted the photos from BotCon. These look to have gloss paint. I think most FansProject products usually have matte paint. I could be wrong. Still, awesome.

I am feeling the same way. The faction symbols seem a little wierd if you want to place them in my TF line up. Love the accessories. Hope FP sclaes back on the chunky look for future figures.

I agree. I hope they can continue like that.

Arg!! for the first time ever in my collecting history i have to say, i don't think i can afford these right now.

As much as i want them.

Sad days indeed.

The price is fair though. I'll have to wait till times are a little less skint and there could actually be a Deluxe Insecticon repaint by that time. If i'm lucky.

I see a Chop Shop, Barrage , and a Ransack in the future. :PRAY:

If FansProject ever does a "Venom" homage, I hope it shares characteristics with Beast Wars' Transquito.

As I look at them, I do believe Kickback's wings can be posed in the 'proper' fashion, same with Bombshell's cannon there. Not sure about Shrapnel, though.

Venom was my favourite of all the Insecticons when i was a kid!

I'm sure one could be in the works if they went and did a repaint of these three into the deluxe instecticons but that's just speculation of course.

It's what i would do if i had FP's resources.

I've now got 5 of each on preorder. It's going to be a pricey few months, but I'll have an awesome swarm at the end of it. Now off to ship my Warpath case!

Wow, I'm impressed with the dedication there.

I will be using these to build my Insecticon swarm, not official TFs but still transforming insect robots.
