You'd prefer they make unique figures so that we'd have to pay more money? I'm starting to see benefits of this system.
MMC wins, these guys should stop right now, or retool it to become a Quickswitch.

Two, because third party companies are finally tackling the same characters all at once, this promotes a sense of competition. And once you have a sense of competition in the world of sales, prices actually go down!
So yea, these third party figures will never be as affordable as the official Has/Tak releases, but at least they won't be as astronomically priced as before.

Well I guess we can all thank FansProject for setting the bar so high but also unfortunatley opening the floodgates to this combined overflow of subpar "also-ran" companies that are practically tripping over themselves to spit out the next big Bruticus-must-have-item. If these companies keep popping up in garages all over its gonna cause Hasbro/Takara to wisen-up and crack the whip on likeness copyright. Something tells me their not taking too kindly to sharing their cashcow. It's going to be interesting at the very least to see how it plays out in coming years. Here's hoping the fans benefit in the long run.

I think the seller who sold me my version was called "CollectorKB". He's a ebay seller that is based in Hong Kong. he often sells about 6 of these per year on ebay for the past few years. the toy is about 6.8 inches tall in robot mode from head to toe.
This same ebay seller named "CollectorKB". Sells another sixshot custom toy on ebay. this one is a bit bigger & has less joints. I think he used the 1987 sixshot toy & gave it poseable joints. the 2nd one,has limited hip joints range of motion. the seller created a sixshot & great shot versions. the ebay auctions ending bids wanted over $500 for the 2nd bigger version this one is a bit more higher quality than the one being discussed in this thread.
The toy being discussed is a pure piece of garbage. some of the joints the guy literally used rubber or some type of silicon white chalk inside the moving parts. it literally fell apart in my hands while transforming it. I think the seller even went as far as to sell me a repaired version. as their's some repair patch work seen on the toy.
I had to spend a lenghty time repairing the figure & painting it a bit.
I even went as far as to do six U-tube videos showing off the toy.
here are the six u-tube videoes:

I was gonna give the toy away to a few internet TF fans. but I didn't want to see this thing mass produced. I wanted it to stay a ebay exclusive. because it's a awful & horrible toy that should never see mass production.
