However, if Takara made MP figures of the characters fans are craving for, they'd sell more units. Do you think a Sunstorm figure would outsell a Soundwave figure? Do you also think that a 2nd version of Starscream is what most fans wanted rather than a Shockwave, Soundwave or Galvatron?

It seems to me Takara has gotten too hung up on chasing iGear. They need to stop chasing them and instead beat them to the punch on the things they intend to do.

Imagine if Hasbro/Takara pulled their robot finger out of their ass, put out Masterpiece Soundwave, Shockwave and Galvatron...
WHAT WOULD WE MOAN ABOUT THEN?![]()
Word is reaching us that start up company www.fantoys.com has ceased operating and the upcoming FT-02 Acoustic Wave figure is no more. As a product this figure was incredibly close the knuckle with regard to Hasbro's Transformer property G1 Soundwave, more so than most of the existing unofficial figures already on the market.
More news as we get it, we're hoping to reach the Fantoys guys for clarification on this.

Even established companies (*cough cough HASBRO) break our hearts routinely. But this announcement is one of the saddest in a long time, for me. Particularly after seeing those beautiful prototypes. Hopefully there'll be a hail mary save of some sort...

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.
