X-Transbots have shared some images of the prototype to their unofficial Masterpiece-style Inferno, Dante. Dante is one of three unofficial Infernos making their way to the market in the coming months, alongside the Ocular Max and Maketoys versions. These images show Dante in an early prototype / mold test stage. Check out the images and see what you think.

I'll see if I can get anywhere and follow up.

Did you ever get anything on this? I have the same issue.

Just checking, there are no labels (water slides or whatever) made by any random companies for this mold? I know Toyhax doesn't make any as they unfortunately haven't done much with XTB stuff in years.
I'm picking up Roadhauler, and seeing how the ladder/crane hangs off the back and the head options, I kinda wanted the Grapple and Inferno as toy versions of each, but they look as plain as the official versions I'm using as toon Grapple/Inferno.

they weren't that bad as the one shown in that thread, but still not good. i've sent an after sales request. fingers crossed!

only one I've seen reports of the issue on so far. I'm sure a person can source replacement from XTB direct or via Show.z, etc, but I don't recall anyone commenting on how replacement parts are holding up
Tirador thread. How does your chipping compare to some of those posted pics?

Is it just artfire? Also do we have any help from xtb for say showz on this issue?
ShmoopsMcGoo
seen from at least a couple board members here that artfire has issues w/ the entire front of cab paint chipping/peeling off. think it was likely bad paint application &/or paint over translucent plastic or something. Possibly a combination.

Has anyone noticed any paint chipping? I just walked by my artfire, and noticed there are paint chips on both doors! What the heck? Can anything be done about this?

I'm not in for these repaints but can see why XTB are milking this mould. Dante is one of the most solid third party figures I've bought from any company and looks great in both modes, with a simple transformation to boot.

all I can see is John Deere Dante… green needs to be a bit lighter with a slash of yellow down the side and yellow rims and it would be a John Deere color scheme. but, that's just me since I've worked on stuff that color for the last 15 years, lol!

Nicely done indeed. Will he come with a standard helmet head too or will it only be this one?

@daimchoc Good info for post #1 of this thread so it doesn't get buried.

Lol, it's on the screw stuck in the other part. Take the screw out and the post will come free and you can glue it back on

ACKKK I just saw the pic you posted. I don't have that center post – it mustve gone flying somewhere! Yikes. Hopefully I can find it OR hopefully xtb will give me a replacement.
