It's so hard to say no to such awsome TFs.

Brawn looks sick, I love the leg transformation, nice and solid all round.

Glad to see they re-thought Brawn's colors. With a little bit of luck that stupid buzz lightyear helmet on Cosmos will be removable. Someone on here said it was but Im not sure how they confirmed that. Sharticon is dope too, but I hope Renderform can make a weapon for him that doesnt look like a Christmas tree.

Spot on colours for Hench. Nice work iGear. He looks fantastic. I just hope that his abdomen is big enough for an Autobot symbol.
Gimme pre-orders and I shall make you rich(er)!

...
Your line is "Preorders are now open"
... anytime.
I'm pretty sure UFO is bigger than the first two. Not long ago, iGear said they were throwing out a strict sizing and going to make them vary, but be overall larger.Sodan-1 wrote:I wonder if UFO's smaller size is because of the inclussion of the stand or whether the stand was included because of UFO's smaller size. Or if there's precisely zero connection between the two.

The only downside that while some 3rd party stuff is clearly beyond what Hasbro would put to market at that scale or complexity, I'm not seeing it here. Well, I don't see them doing teeny guns anymore (least of all modeling real guns), but you know what I mean.

Cosmos is just perfect!!! Well....his feet aren't as good as they could be but whatever. I like the domed head as well. Lots of debris floating around out in space that could get in your eye......lol.
I'm liking those chromed kneecaps on Brawn. Amongst other things of course but i noticed that little detail and thought I'd comment about that. You know Hasbro wouldn't Chrome his kneecaps. Unless they're metal. I can't tell.

Well yes, but I always expect Hasbro to cheap out on paint. Takara could do toys like this no question.

I'm really loving all three, despite Brawns hieght advantage. But lose the Dr Suess X-mas tree tail on the sharkticon. It looks like he's offering Grimlock a snowcone! lol. I'll evem ignore how narrow he is which kinda makes him look like a tick.

AMEN TO THAT BROTHER !!!
I say toss the current Hasbro staff in a pit (copyright binders and all) douse em with gasoline and light a match !!!
Then we can "Offically" make third parties unite and become the new Hasbro.

Hasbro is just a company. It's the morons running the Transformers division that I hate. And it's not even that I hate them. I hate their one track coroprate minds. I understand theyre main market is kids. But kids werent alive in the 80's. So if youre going to do G1 homages, get it right or dont do it at all !!!
Hasbro needs a collectors divison that's primary focus is adults. One that creates molds not just repaints like Funpub. Hasbro could easily hire the best of the best from I-Gear, TFC, Fansproject, etc. and enter a new endeavor. But it's all about ego so Hasbro will never get off their high horse and admit they dont make the best figures anymore...

You complain about it all the time. It derails almost every conversation about the toys we're talking about. I think we all get it: you don't like Hasbro. You want a collector's line. We all get it. You don't have to repeat it constantly in any thread you post in.
So, yeah. It's annoying. Just make a whole new thread just about hating Hasbro and let other things be discussed elsewhere.

I think it's the same head rotated 180 degrees.

What is a logical guess on a release date?
I'm kind of new to this. Once you see a prototype, how long does it take if you are trying to release it as soon as you can?

My original comment was supporting someone elses comment while adding some much needed humor. But then you came with the "annoying" comment. If you want to single me out so blatantly as "annoying" just call me out by name. Nothing or nobody on here really offends me. While my Hasbro bashing might be "annoying" I find your support for Hasbro on a 3rd party thread to be "amusing".
Do me a favor and hire a plane to sky write over the Hasbro factory "MAKE BETTER CLASSICS FIGURES". If they still cant see the message over their heads, then Hasbro really needs to be put down like an 20 year old dog with 3 legs. However, if they get the message and deliver, I promise you I will give Hasbro my full support.

Aaanyway. New Brawn head is cool, def not as cool as the animated head imo, but hey, now you have the option for a battle armoured face mask opposed to the drinking-at-the-energon-pub head.

Yeah, because you can't love one without hating the other.
I'll buy that skywriter if you do the same and tell the 3rd party guys to lower their prices and sell in Wallmart.

I was a kid in the 80's.....Im fairly sure I was alive at the time.
Hasbro make toys...toys are for kids, collectors are a small part of the market and Hasbro really doesnt have to do anything for us older fans at all, it wouldnt hurt them to ignore us all together.
