I love TW's stuff, but I really need to see more before I decide.

im committed to PX since i have caelus. i broke down and ebay'd the tfcon columpio. i rationalized this because im planning to have a FOC display which can have my takara grim with the rest of the PX crew. then theres my classics display, which i guess will have FP's dinos.
now im considering getting a third set of dinos. am i mental? i like these guys so far. and how im rationalizing it is:
"theyll have no place separately. but hes a combiner! he wont be displayed as separate robots! so where does he go? who cares!"
im not totally mental though. i dont think id commit to something like this until every figure was out or at least revealed. even then its a big if. theres a lot of other things i think id rather buy. all that said... id probably jump on TW's bandwagon if theyd come first.

ahh. so are you passing on FP's?xyl360 wrote:Tsutsukakushi wrote: It boggles the mind. If 3rd parties can create Dinobots this great, than why can't HasTak.
Cost. I'm sure they will in the MP line though. Someday...(hopefully sooner rather than later).
I think I'm probably getting these. In fact, I'm sure of it. I'm still getting PX's for my WfC/FoC shelf, but these I will be purchasing for my Classics/Generations shelf.

Yeah. Nothing against them as they do look pretty good, but I like what I've seen out of TW better so far and quite frankly I just trust their quality more. I've had too many bad experiences with FP, even with their recent stuff and it's made me a bit gunshy about their QC and engineering. They also have a tendency of being far more stylistic with their designs than I'm typically comfortable with, often beyond even what Has/Tak have done with many of their modern takes on characters which makes it more difficult for me to put their figures up on a shelf containing mostly official toys and view it as a coherent line of figures. It's not that they look bad so much as they often just don't seem to fit in quite enough for my tastes, though that's not to say that this will be the case with FP's not-Dinobots as they do look much closer to the source materials than many of FP's past efforts. I just don't wanna risk that either (buying into their line only to discover halfway through that one or more of the remaining figures is a misfit). Of course the same could very well happen with TW, but given their track record so far, I just find it far less likely, and having seen protos of many (all?) of FP's not-Dinobots already, I can already see some pretty massive departures from what I perceive to be anything resembling the Dinobots as I know them, even in a 'Classics' sense.
