Victoria Toy Fair 2011 Coverage - Renderform

Same here. I can't wait for the the rest of RF-006, and a full set of seeker null rays, in every color, for every single seeker. $$$$$

Definitely need the Ravage weapons(both styles), the Decepticon sword/shield set, and Nullrays.

Probably also the Rodimus guns.

Renderform's missed a trick with the null rays IMO. My biggest issue with the standard ones is that they are too big, they inhibit arm posability. Renderform's made them even bigger. They look nice, but I won't be buying any.

That said, the Melee weapons and energy shields are sweet, and hopefully I'll be able to get some, they remind me of the Brutes from WFC. Also, Bumper and Vortex heads are a must-have.

Pretty dang impressive despite my own reservations, it has to be said.

I would defintiely go for the Hot Rod guns, Ravage missiles, and seeker null rays.

I love all this guys stuff. I just wish he would make it more available for people who want to buy it a year later. I got over 30 different seekers so I dont know if Im gonna jump on the null rays. Unless he makes them for Sunstorm, The Rainmakers, Purple clone, etc. But I dont think he will go that far. And exactly who is the new Grappel head supposed to be ???

Love Venksta's work, but with all the stuff coming out I'm gonna have to be picky.

No to Erector, Vortex head (I don't own that toy), Hubcap.

Yes to Bumper, Ravage+SG Ravage missiles, pick and choose on Seeker armaments, Hot Rod guns, and Hound gun.

Maybe on the sword and shields.

Shit's gonna get real expensive in 2012!!

I customized a few for the Screamer and Skywarp, but I still need them for the rest of the guys.

I'd rather buy them than have to build them.

You can also use the original null rays from any of the G1 seekers. They fit. I "had" them on Screamer. They looked good, but when standing next to SW and TC, they look small. Like the other two guys had more firepower and I can't have them showing up Starscream.

For those wanting the RFX-001 orange and red axes for the Knight Morpher Commander, along with the Sword and Shield sets, Hound gun, and HotRod guns, they will be available tomorrow night for ordering. The RFX-001 axes are limited to 150 each for orange and red. The other sets will have a limited amount available for Tuesday. I'll have more available next month, after the Goldbug kits finish shipping out.

For the "Super Nullifier"s shown above, I had a vision for a certain look, and am totally happy with how they turned out. I wanted my Starscream to have something powerful, but sort of sleek for his main weapon. I know people have wanted smaller nullrays, and there are actually quite a lot of alternatives available online, that have been around for awhile. Theres at least a couple you can get on Shapeways, and some customizers who make their own resin casted versions. So if anyone wants to replace the stock nullrays on their seekers, and wants a smaller design, you have a lot of options.

I have all the figures these upgrades are displayed with, if they come in a set, sweet, I'll buy, but I'm not jumping through hoops anymore for Venksta's stuff, even though it is a good product. Well, maybe for the Ravage missles, they are very nice.

You'd be surprised by how many people contact me and ask to make a ton of stuff. You might not need any of the new items I created, but there are a lot of people who have been wanting them. I just make what I want for myself, and if I feel producing the items, won't be too difficult, I make them available to others who might enjoy my work.

The easiest solution for ordering would be for me to sell directly to online retailers. But considering my prices are basically whole sale, you'd be paying double or more through the stores. If people would be ok with better process of ordering and paying more, I will gladly take up all the offers I've gotten from online retailers to carry my stuff. It also gives me less work to deal with customer service and processing orders myself.

Or I can make it more hard work for myself and offer them directly for cheap.
