I agree. After seeing the colored face version, I wish there was an option to add a faceplate.
What is the grey plastic behind him? And is that a man purse?

I get what your saying. FP & MMC,Make superior product but they take too long to release stuff. While I think other 3rd party companies make inferior product but release stuff faster.

Or, here's an idea.... Release the items on a reasonable time table AND have them be superior.
It wouldn't take FansProject as long to produce these items if they only worked on one or two things at a time, instead of all they have going on right now.
Chromedome/Weirdwolf/Brainstorm/Mindwipe on top of the Stunticons (who are still without a leader), plus Glacialbots, not to mention Roadbuster. Way too much going on all at once for a company that's still too small to make all of this happen at the same time or even a reasonable one.
The Headmasters AND Menasor? Okay.
Or...Glacialbots and Roadbuster? Okay.
Or any mix you like, but no more than two at a time. They've spread themselves too thin to make this happen and we're the ones with open wallets just twiddling thumbs.
I'm all for quality, I really am, but my patience does have an end, you know? And as for it being a superior product? My FP Combaticons would like a word with you. That whole shoulder connector cracking issue, for example. Hell, people dogged out Impossible Toys Arcee, but you know what? She's still rock solid and hasn't broken on me even once. I can't say that for FP stuff. Even my Protector's heel panels cracked at the hinges.
None of these breaks ruin the toys, but they certainly shake my faith in their abilities. Considering they make us wait so long and they're clearly not superior, I wouldn't mind a rush job on some things. If after all that waiting, they still break due to a design flaw, was it really worth pining away for?
Nah. Get me my product.

You hit all the nails right on the heads as far as FP goes.
While it's debatable if a much slower pace for MMC produces superior product. Most would agree the pace needs to move a bit faster. I don't even want to fantom how long it will take MMC to complete Feral Rex. At this pace MMC will release the Carnifex Overlord on the summer of 2015.
Taking this long to release product makes the buyers get frustrated & lose interest. Taking too long gives the competitors plenty of time to swoop in,make similar product & steal your customers.
