Y'know...I love Planet X and all.....but really, can we stick to figures we haven't yet gotten? I realize I picked up Grimlock, but that was to go with the rest of the Dinobots. I'm not really thrilled about getting characters we already have. Plus, Hasbro's WfC/FoC Seekers are very decent.

OTOH, my wallet says, "yippee!"

After their Paddles comes out, it seems I must pay a fond farewell to Planet X.

Do the full seeker trio and I'm interested. The official FoC seeker toys kinda sucked IIRC (you could see right through them!) and were made of that horrible 2012 Generations plastic.

That said, I think there are things they could be making instead of this. Notably a Voyager sized WFC or FOC Megatron, and an entirely original set of FOC Combaticons.

Yes planet x has beaten that dead horse known as WFC/FOC so hard its damn blood is starting to bleed. Time to move on to classics like MMC canned the hearts of steel line.

Oh my god, X, NOBODY CARES. Just shut up already.

Repeat after me: NOT EVERYTHING HAS TO BE GEEWUN.

Plus, PlanetX has established themselves within the WfC/FoC realm. As far as I know, they have never shown an inclination to go beyond this niche. I appreciate that about them. With MMC, MT, FP, and TFC, we have a lot of "Classics" options...

I would definitely be interested in a full set of Voyager Seekers.

FoC Redwing and Nacelle or GTFO.

Is there any real news suggesting they are really doing Starscream? All I see is an unmarked picture.

Edit

Here's a link to their FB with the announcement. Prime coming too.

Yeah, I concur. One company that is so focused on a particular line of figures is something I can appreciate. I'd like to see some prototypes, but seeing as I already own the official releases of the 3 seekers it would need to do something extraordinary to double-dip.

PX-10 Mors preorder up at BBTS $104.99






Like I said previously, my Hasbro versions are just fine. But, I hope this looks good for anyone who wants them! (Maybe they are bigger, too...)

Hmmm. If they do a Sunstorm repaint, I'd be very interested. Hell, there's even precedent for an FoC body Sunstorm!



I mean, sure, he didn't get to do anything before he died in the next few pages, but... it's an excuse!

That, I could get behind....
