but Weirdwolf never had a targetmaster?

seems a bit of a peculiar choice of repaint.

Yeah, it's called making something new. If you want, call him Fonzo, Monzo's little brother.

I plain don't like the colour. Either get the colours to match perfectly or go in another direction completely.

nowt wrong with new things. new things are pretty cool sometimes. this seems like bad fan-fiction though, like when Sunstreaker became a Headmaster.

I do like the name Fonzo though, he should be the coolest guy on Nebulos, and able to start up any Powermaster just by giving it a nudge. Motto: Eeeyyyyyy!

I was thinking 'Alonzo', but what the hey.

Well, I was thinking of that time Fonzo used anti0gravity skis to jump over a tank of ravenous Sharkticons. Then his broadcast series was canceled and he had to join his brother Monzo in the Decepticon army.

Has anyone heard back from MasterShooter about the extras they said they had on their facebook page? I sent them an email but haven't hear back. Hopefully it is just because they are busy making more stuff for us.

Yes, I heard back from them. I think they said they had 8, and they were first come first serve. They notified the 8 people and were waiting to get the paypal money from it so they could mail.

All is not lost. They have stated that they may end up selling the display units from Slagacon, or manufacturing more in the future if there is demand. So let them know you are still interested.

Are these damn things really that hard to make ? Theyre so small I would think they should have at least 150 made for any convention. It's not even a pair, just one damn little figure with ONE paint app !

This wasn't really planned too much in advance, it was just a last minute project. According to the people who made it, a friend requested a gun for their QuadU/WW. Two days before Slagacon they figured they would make several of them to sell at the convention.

From what I understand, they made 30 total, hand assembled and painted in the 2 days before the convention, probably out of spare parts they had laying around. They gave the one to the guy who requested it, used 4 for display at the convention, sold 17 at the convention, and then sold the last 8 through their facebook page after the convention ended. I was lucky and got one of those.

They may end up selling some of the 4 display units down the road, or on ebay, or making more of them if there is demand.

Good news. Captured Prey has announced they will be selling a small number of Strangedog toys, so if you want one, watch their web site.
