I've never actually purchased a transformer not made by the offical companys, are the materials quality generaly speaking? because that is an important factor.

It depends a lot on the company. Fansproject makes very good figures, both quality- and design-wise, but Impossible Toys' reputation isn't as perfect. I believe this is their first attempt at an actual transforming toy. That said, in the video where they showed off the figure and its transformation, it did indeed look like it was of decent quality.

I've been told several times that IT has made quality products when it came to their Kremzeek and Quints. As stated, this is their first foray into transforming figures, so we really don't know.

Someone asked if this was vaporware? No. The Nightbird remold/repaint is being produced in a lot of 1,000 for TFCon in Toronto in July. They absolutely must deliver on the product or there would be legal battles and IT would lose.

So, if they have the molds fired up for that product, the most certainly have Valkyrie and Medic produced as well, not to mention we've seen the video of the finished product and BBTS has in package pictures of it.

It's coming, and we probably will see it by the end of the month.

Whether it's a rush job or not, I guess we'll find out.

Here's to hoping for the best!

Thank you all for the help and advice, I appriciate it, you guys/girls are the best!
I'm looking into their past projects now and how they were recived. I'd say maybe I'll wait for some reviews, but then I'm afraid I'll miss out.

I think its awesome all of these other companies are making add ons for the transformers brand. But now that we have a lot of them why cant anyone make classics scale mini figures with some articulation of spike and daniel the way they were in transformers the movie. Why not make some of the human characters that were also in generation one. Why not make the soldiers from the transformers movie. Im not talking about human alliance or screen battles. Im talking about in scale figures with classics and transformers movie delux figures. Human figures with arm and leg movements. They can be around 1 and half inches. Ive seen others companies do it(matchbox).They keep talking about how humans are a part of the story but they never make any. It kind of makes the hwole transformers line incomplete. Well for me and some others I have spoken too. So if anyone from the third party companies or hasbro is reading this then come and make some humans. And yes I know they have made a gen1 scale spike and sparkplug. But they seem like they should be bigger.

IT is currently designing and planning on releasing a transforming Spike and Daniel. I don't know what scale they are, but the two of them are $60.00+

kirbenvost -- i think BBTS may have ordered less medics & more arcees. Makes the #s seem lopsided. Just guessing though

$60 for Spike & daniel? sheesh. For now, Dr. Arkeville from the MP Seekers will sit in Arcee. He's only figure i have small enough to do that really. Who else would make a nice pilot??

Good news. TRNS is ready to go, and mass produced, it seems.

Rewatch the video in this link: youtube-video-of-impossibletoys-trns-01-valkyrie-aka-arcee-t65870.php

And look to your right on the video window. You'll see several 01's in bubble inserts waiting to be packaged.

Caught a glimpse of it, just as you said. Thanks for that. That's good confirmation for me.

Thanks for clearing that up about IT's reputation, I wasn't sure. Good to know!
