I'm all over Browning, but am still unsure about Crox....

Yep, I hit up all 4. I wish we would have gotten some new pictures of Highbrow & Skullcruncher with these preorders.

So where/who is X-09?

I'm not sure, but I think with the recolor of MADLAW being branded Function X-6 Knight and also depending on how soon the other molds could be ready it pushed the order around a bit. Prior to Knight being released, here was the numbering:

6 - Hardhead
7 - Snapdragon
8 - Highbrow

So maybe now it's:
7 - Hardhead
8 - Crox
9 - Snapdragon
10 - Highbrow

Not a bad thought. I think you mean Apeface instead of Snapdragon though.
It's odd we haven't saw any proto's of Highbrow or Hardhead though.

I believe that X-07 was the Brainstorm into Sonic Bomber Repaint.

I seriously don't even know anymore. Going back through some old pictures shows me the error of my ways.

I do have a pic of Snapdragon though:

I went to look at some online listings, and that is correct. Sonic Bomber took the #7 spot.

Not sure why FP keeps changing the numbering system of their figures, but I guess it's only a slight annoyance compared to the wait of getting a new figure from them.

Maybe FansProject put Hardhead on the back burner? Or knowing them, maybe we will see finalized pictures in the next month or so haha.

Wishful thinking but I really hope they get around to the Juniors eventually.

Probably just trying to avoid confusion with Maketoys RM Hardhead.

Agreed & to avoid competition. Even though they are meant for two different lines, people tend to make it a one or the other type deal.
