the third party companies are going to bleed the fandom dry of their money if they keep making all of this awesome crap!

That Victory Saber looks AWESOME!
If it's a show-accurate represnetaion of the guy that can faithfully break down into the following components/forms (Star Saber, Victory Leo, Saber, the V-Atar, and the Brain of Courage), I may then be sold on this!

Until we get more info, this is going to the Pass list.

I basically agree with everything Sabrblade said, though I couldn't care less about the Brain of Courage, and I have no idea what the v-atar is (did you mean v-star?). My one hope is that this is Voyager or Ultra sized, as I don't wan't a Robot Masters ripoff, and I think a leader-sized figure would be too big (plus it would jack up the price). Lastly, I'm not buying this if it's much more than $100.

If it disassembles, and has decent articulation, he's so mine...

I have a custom Star Saber I'm pretty happy with, so this will have to be pretty awesome for me to get it.

I wonder how it took this long for 3rd party companies to know that we want a Star Saber.

Hate to be a buzz kill, but that looks a lot like Robotmasters Victory Leo.
Would be nice if it were an actual figure though

Maybe when I see a prototype I'll get my hopes up. But for now I will stay unusually pessimistic.

The legs are pretty different:

RM Star/Victory Saber also doesn't have proper knee articulation. Could be anything at this point though. But if they are planning a 3rd Party Star/Victory Saber, I'm interested.

Been waiting for this… if it should come to fruition.
Though I'm still hoping against all odds that FP's "HeartMasters" will somehow end up including a Super God Ginrai AND a Victory Saber (cuz just a Star Saber isn't enough!).

I feel the same way. art is just art. I need to see some type of built model/proto type to determine the toy size,poseability,features,design/sculpt,etc...
My ideal 3rd party victorysabre toy would be as follows: 2 voyagers that combine to form a leader sized super combined robot mode.
What I don't wanna see is a deluxe toy version of starsabre. that comes with victoryleo armor parts to form a voyager sized toy. I kinda want the victoryleo armor parts to also form a victoryleo robot & lion modes.

I'd be happy with a Deluxe BrainMaster Star Saber (though he'd be tiny!) and a Deluxe Victory Leo that combined to form a Voyager/Leader Victory Saber if only because two Voyagers would mean $250-300 in third-party dollars…

Once I get Victory Leo, he'll be a crown jewel in my collection.
For now, Star Saber and Road Caesar will continue to shine their awesome equally.

that price for 3rd party voyagers you listed is like 2 to 3 times higher than they actually cost.
please go to BBTS.com & check out the prices on 3rd party voyagers.

Like what? Scout-sized FPs are $45-50. PE's are barely above Legend if that and run $30-40.
Knightmorpher might be considered Voyager and runs $100 and is a lot less complex than a Star Saber or Victory Leo would need to be. X-graver is maybe hovering b/t Deluxe and Voyager and people are bitching about paying $80.00 for it. Sonicron is only $60 but most people think (if it doesn't get some major mods before full release) it's a QC PoS. If $250-300 is 2X-3X higher, as you think, you seriously think you're gonna get quality 3rd-party Voyagers for $40-75 each? That would be awesome but I'll believe it when I see it. It's full-on design, not just retooling existing molds like iGear's Seekers (which is no slag on iGear, I think those are sweet).

Awsome, but ... there's already so much I want .... even just from 3rd party guys.
Maybe they'll start to price more competatively. I wonder how long before the market is oversaturated with expencive 3rd party goods.

I like my Sonicron, even if he doesn't lock in as tight as I wish in alt mode...
