Considering the price point for each of these, and knowing that several other premium 3rd party figures are coming out soon, I'm okay with waiting a bit longer. As long as I can be assured this is really happening. I hope TFC is able to release the remaining figures without any further issues like Exgraver and Heavy Labor have.

Or make something comparable and sell it for $10 bucks less
Still waiting to pick up Heavy labor, have they addressed the Qc issue with him yet? Tha wonky hip joint? For such a large cash commitment I kinda want to know its not gonna fall apart when I finish it :p

They will be supplying replacement parts for Heavy Labor with either Neckbreaker or Mad Blender.

I completely agree. I'm 100% sold on this project. I still plan on getting Giant as well but Hercules has my full attention right now. The size is incredible and an accomplishment in itself. Hopefully Structor and Dr Crank ship before Christmas.
My only concern, at the moment, would be Herc's left foot. The heel part of Structor in his "foot" mode kind of bothers me.

Ok, you got me curious, are you refering to a Predaking figure?Requiem Prime wrote:The complete Hercules will be something special. I hope they don't run into anymore issues. I never minded the size since he always held a more raw power vibe than the others, who were smarter or at least more focused. There is only one other combiner I'd accept being this huge.

Take a little comfort in the fact the they have corrected the first issue with Exgraver in an extremely responsible way. I'm sure with impending future releases of this set, they want to work out the kinks as much as we do.

There are rumors one of the TFC designers is working on a more G1 accurate head...not sure if it would be included with one of the later figs or sold separately, if it actually comes to be.

I can see this happening. I mean you kind of have to! you just cant go to all the trouble designing such a great figure and NOT do it the ultimate justice of giving it a tru Devy head

Have to agree. I will not be surprised if the G1 Devy head and cartoon accurate rifle come from a separate 3rd party joint. I can easily see iGear or the new Dr. Wu tackling a Geewun head and gun. So long as it's not Renderforms. All the love in the world to Venksta, great work, huge admirer, but I've never been able to complete a transaction with that guy.

That would be the dream. But right now they are tinkering with 5-bot teams from other franchises. Oh; and trying to take the suck out of PCC

The head is probably the single big issue I have with this set-the sticking point that's keeping me from buying this and MT Giant. They produce a more sculpted, more aggressive head and it may be game on for me.

Dude, with the fan outcry for the visored face of good 'Ole Devy, SOMEONE will make a replacement head. If not TFC, then one of a dozen other 3rd party companies that have released head upgrades. iGear has already shown that they are willing to produce a head upgrade for a different 3rd party product:
As has Dr. Wu:
I'm confident someone will do it. Probably for both Giant and Hercules.

Nah, Devastator's really a chick.
