I'm allowed my opinion. FP have been dropping the ball everywhere except for their headmasters line. Just read the Intimidator thread again, quite a few QC issues

I'm in the oppossite camp. I think the fanprojects City commander,Protector,Insecticons and Menasor are all superb products. While I always viewed the FP Headmasters as too small and flimsy. I think the Toy world Headmasters toys are more superior toys compared to the FP versions.
Toyworld makes toys, FP makes collector's items. It's all about what you're looking for.
Hehe, really? I see it the exact opposite. FP makes toys much closer to what Hasbro makes while Toyworld makes figures much closer to the MP line

.
I couldn't disagree more. Fansproject makes more stylized and detailed figures, where Toyworld's designs tend to be blocky and basic looking (though the transformations might not be). Hence the collector's items vs. toys comments:

Of course, we could look at this picture and come away with two very different interpretations.
Also, don't get me started on MPs...
See, that picture illustrates exactly what I'm referring to. I don't have FP's Weirdwolf, but I do have City Commander, Protector, their not-Combaticons (and the two repaints they made from them), all 4 of their not-Stunticons they've released so far as well as one of their not-Insecticons and with regards to their standalone figures (not the upgrade sets, which are very different in composition/plastic thickness), they are very fidgety (similar to TF Movie figures), have a lot of very thin plastics, panel-form a lot, frequently don't fit together well (though that started with their not-Insecticons for me and I've experienced it with 3 out of 4 of their not-Stunticons) and they're largely lacking in paint apps (much like Hasbro's current offerings).
On the other hand, Toyworld's figures of which I have 5 so far (Hegemon, the 2 Throttlebots and the 2 Headmasters), other than Hegemon, are spot on with thick/nice plastics, paint details, transformations and mold details. Not once did I pinch my fingers or feel like I was going to break a panel transforming those TW figures the way it always seems with the recent FP figures. I mean just look at their not-Weirdwolf's legs. He's got thin chicken legs and his body frame overall is slim and tiny, just like most of the stuff Hasbro designs these days for their Generations line. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but for the Headmasters for me it is because to me, the Headmasters are all supposed to be big and bulky. Of course their appearance in the show vs the comics has a lot to do with that as well I'm sure, as I never read the comics, but those who did seem to prefer FP's.
