Seems like TFCC is pretty upset about the booming 3rd party market...

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.

Is TCC talking about third-party, or just straight up K.O.'s? :???: To me it looks like they are talking about K.O.'s due to the mentioning of licensing and total copies of Hasbro's merchandise. If this is the case I do understand what they are saying, but why now? I mean, I've seen K.O. Devastators and Airielbots for years, plus various other "non" Transformers.

It was about KOs, though I think they did imply third parties at one point, too.


They're definitely talking KOs and not 3rd party:

Note the part where they say "completely copying", implying that reverse engineering the mold is the part they have a problem with, not developing parts for a "legit" HasTak product that you're paying the company for.

Ah, that I missed, since it wasn't directed toward me (or toward everyone).

So there we go.

At which point, I have no problem with their stance whatsoever.


TFCC is mad/anrgy at both the KO companies & 3RD party companies because CHMS creates KO TF toys & very soon their gonna start making 3rd party new mold TF toys of their own.

TFCC is angry at CHMS because they seem to be the ones making all those classics/generations seekers in different colors & they seem to be the ones making all those TFCC toys in similar or different colors.

CHMS is going to be creating new molds very soon like that new mold G-1 Ultra magnus that combines with his trailer.

Oh, I do love what they have done. I love most of the con figures and the club exclusives a lot and they highlight my collection. For me it's a want thing, I want what the club provides. I've been a member there for the past 5 years and will continue to be because I love this hobby and want to support it. I want "good" third party products as well however. And for me, a selection will always come to whoever presents the best product. Or at least presents what I would want in my collection.

We have two 3rd party Reflectors to choose from, I'm not getting the PE version and the TFclub version. I only need one and the PE is what I choose because of the look and size of the figures. TFclub version is just not what I'm looking for. But do I hate their version, not at all. It's just not what I want. But more power to those that do like it and want that version.

If the club came out with new molds of their own, I may like it, I may not. Heck, I love their Elita-1 figure from the con. I don't want another version of her if another company makes it. Just give me a good representation and I'll decide if I like it or not. That's all we can ask for.
