After a long silence and no updates on the project, Fansproject has updated their Facebook page with colored prototype images of their Lost Exo-Realm Pinchar. The group has been silent for a long time and have only recently started sharing updates on their projects again. Pinchar has been long awaited by fans looking to finish their team of unofficial 3rd party Dinobots. Fansproject states in their post that these are prototype images only and final product may vary. They also state that preorders should be up soon, so keep an eye out at your favorite online retailers.
Check out the new images after the jump

Can someone post pics of the instructions of this guy or a link some? Just got this guy with none.

Pass. No desire to have diaclone version.

There is a Diaclone one for sale/bid on Ebay right now.

wonderful…just got email saying tfsource would NOT be getting in the fansproject preorders they were promised and has cancelled my item. Mother F$#* now I have to go on the hunt again and find without an insane price tag or one that has been modified.

I was under the same impression, since they closed up their own personal online store, everyone had just assumed they were dead, and they still might be, and this is just a small stock of items that they had in warehouses yet to be sold.

Yeh I modded mine was very easy to do and really improves the Look a lot.

Usually the companies clear out their warehouses and sell them to the stores at a big discount.

The only reason I paid a heck of a lot more than this recently is because everywhere I turned, people said FansProject was dead dead dead. Now they have new preorders. Can someone explain how so many 3rd Party companies apparently think having zero/poor communication makes good business sense?
Agent Prime 2814
yep…someone mentioned it in the fansproject appreciation thread…I instantly added a preorder. I think the price is pretty fair considering what people are asking now. And how rarely he comes up…I also preordered the trianix alpha shield…very tempted on the X-0 Code, Beastructor, and Constructo Core…I'd have ordered Volar too but since he doesn't come with the blue body swap I passed. And I didn't want the metallic tfcon version. Hell Robotoybase was the only to have these in stock recently and they told me much higher prices than tfsource has…and add the international shipping…Pinchar comes out to a lot better deal.

there's a YouTube video on how to modify the hood using a dremel to cut plastic if you're okay with modifying pinchar,he becomes a much better figure than just okay and it doesn't affect his transformation or either mode, but obviously then he's no longer mint and other people might not like it so if you ever want to sell it I don't recommend it

Oh absolutely, but it’s better than paying the eBay late tax. Some people just want to complete their collection and this one tends to be the most elusive.
You said it’s ok figure and it’s been so long since I got it… and I couldn’t remember. I decided to dig it out.

I want to open him and… he’s still sealed. I got him years ago (from a preorder) and I never bothered to open him. I had the others on display for so long waiting for him, I must have just packed him away when I moved a few years ago. The Diaclone one I just got last year before fansproject’s store went down.

I'm not objecting to you posting it. But I don't want people to get their hopes up. It's an okay figure at best and paying 2x what it's worth to finish a set is fine as long as you know upfront you are paying a late tax.

i posted it because people in this thread were looking for it because it almost never shows up on eBay. Here it is. No bidding. A preorder. It’s a little more than retail but not what some of the eBay listings have skyrocketed to.

It is. And yet, if Fans Hobby's Machine Eagle gets pushed to September and my funds for August get a little more freed up I might cash in my Source Points and buy it anyway. I want to complete the fricking set already.

I hear you. For the size and quality it's easily 79. I'm also curious as I thought fans project was done.

I have all the fp Dinos. I love them but 160 is nuts for this guy

I wish I could buy a returned or broken version honestly, I’m sure I could fix it, I feel like that is the only way I could buy one these days
Agent Prime 2814
yeah that price is a bit much considering you can get the other 4 if you shop around for about half that price.
PurpleAndBlackSmokeStacks
I hear you. I am looking for the Diaclone Black version and can't find that either. I already have all the other versions.
