Via a listing on Alibaba, we can report that KFC have released a new cassette. Returning to the range that won them many fans initially, Keith’s Fantasy Club has released a black version of their Haymaker cassette, named Hema-Fright. It’s being sold loose with no packaging, and it also sports the alternate head designed for the unreleased Bladeback variant of the mold.

Any store/place/person still have this for sale? Only found ebay for 28 shipped, which feels a bit pricy. Thanks
Scaleface
Gave in and ordered this one. Must have a full set of stegosaurs!

KFC Stinger was a win, win !
I'm ready for more cassettes and KFC has gotten better in many ways on these little guys I think.

As opposed to the stunning originality of "Oh man, what do you mean the plastic's all black? What happened in the factory?! Nevermind we'll just give it a goofy name and release it anyway."
Scaleface
How much more articulation does he need?
Soundwinder
Haymaker doesn't even have that much more useful articulation over Slugfest.
That said, I keep giving KFC a shot and I keep getting disappointed. I'm not even considering getting any cassettes from them unless I see some ridiculously glowing reviews.
Scaleface
Last I heard they had put all the cassettes on hold while they worked on refining them to not have the problems they had before. So I'm glad to see them restart the line.

Glad their back at doing cassettes even if their just repaints.
Still patiently waiting for them to do the Japanese Dino Cassettes like they said they would years ago.
They were talking about recoloring them into Dino-bot colors once they were done, which I would be willing to pick up, but only after they did the Japanese exclusives first.
C.I.A.D.
Scaleface, thanks for posting that review. I also have to say that I was interested until I read the comments and did some homework for myself.
Back on the hunt.

I'm thinking about selling my KFC tapes. The QC on the copies I received was poor. Stuff like mouths dropping off my Overslay right out of the box. I'd probably go with the G1 tapes, the designs actually look better to me (that's something I'd NEVER thought I'd say about an original G1 toy compared to a 3P figure)
Kind of hoping MMC will tackle Slugfest and co. once they're done with Frumble and Laserbeak for their remix line.

Just watched skullface review. That overslay leaning on the g1 tape was priceless. And the Slugfest g1 tape looks better than the kfc version. I think im gonna get the g1 tapes

i'm in the same boat grimlock. i don't like their slugfest much but really need the two dinos in my collection

Oh, don't forget the reprolabels!
Labels for KFC Haymaker and Overslay

Sounds like a plan
Scaleface
You should watch some YouTube reviews.

Can i ask you honest opinion? I need the last four tapes to complete mp soundwave.
squalktalk, slugfest, beast box, and overkill. What do i do? Get the g1 cassettes or get the ritz crackers. Cause i am hesitant to buy kfc tapes.
GR1ML0CK
Soundwave can finally be completed! Thanks! Wait, i forgot about beastbox and squawltalk. I was ready to buy the g1 cassettes cause i thought that was the only option.
JPrime
This has nothing to do with this figure. It's about releasing numerous figures that they could commit more QC for and they don't. But if they wanna keep making cool looking Transformers figures while the majority of them are molded out of Ritz crackers, somebody will pay for them.
Scaleface
Yes. They are called Overslay and Haymaker.
GR1ML0CK
Never knew kfc made slugfest. Did they do overkill? Fuck, Soundwave needs these
