Spot On - TFSource Article

Postby Maz » Tue Dec 15, 2015 6:33 pm

Is it better than MakeToys Visualizers? No matter what else gets covered in this review of FansToys FT-11 Spotter - their stab at a Masterpiece version of a well known transforming evil 3-guy camera - that first question is one I have been asked non-stop since teasing my first image of the review last week, and one that a number of purchases depend on for people. Not necessarily my answer to that question, but generally. Many collectors may have held off buying the MakeToys Visualizers because they needed to see how Spotter turned out. This is not surprising as FansToys have tended to be the go-to 3rd party company for Masterpiece style figures, and the Visualizers were not hands-down winners for everyone on release. Let's see if we can answer that burning question, as well as everything else we need to know about FT-11.

Weapon: Battle Blades
Neat effort, but I'm glad I went with the Maketoys option here. I do like what they did with the lens on this one, but as you noted, the way MT had it transform/integrate with the rest was pretty darn brilliant.

On another note, upon hitting ctrl+f and looking, the word/name "Reflector" does not appear in the article. You hinted at reasons for this on Twitter, is that something you can elaborate on (if able to)?

Hi Scotty, I was just talking to a friend about this and it does give the article a very surreal feel - almost as if it is more niche than it already was - to not mention Reflector, not have screen caps or references to the original inspiration for Spotter. I think beyond what I've already hinted at, all I can add is that it's precautionary and something I was gently asked to implement for the time being.

All the best
