Third Party Fans Hobby have updated their Facebook account with our first image of their upcoming MB-06 Power Baser Black Version (Nucleon Quest Super Convoy/Optimus Prime).
We have a very impressive black redeco of MB-06 Power Baser, which resemble the colors of the G1 Nucleon Quest Super Convoy (black repaint of Super Ginrai) which was a Toys R Us Japan exclusive while back in 2001. We sill have no price or release date at the moment, but according to the Fans Hobby’s Facebook pre-orders are coming soon.
You can check out the mirrored images on this news post and then join to the ongoing discussion on the 2005 Boards!

Yeah I hope so too – even though I already have 2 of him. Would love to set up a display of him in 3 modes: base mode w/core robot, combined mode w/Marvel head add-on kit and super combined mode with God Armour attached. Hopefully FH will do another production run this year. Gotta feeling PB has had the highest number of reissues of all of FH's figures.

I hope they rereissue this.

There's something elegant about the black version of PowerBaser. He doesn't at all appear bland in appearance. Smart move replacing the default combined mode head with the larger, more detailed one that comes with God Armour. Looking forward to seeing more of your pics bro!
Yep – thats how I always display PowerBaser whenever I don't have God Armour attached. It just fills him out a bit better in my opinion. And I believe this was always the original intent of FH – otherwise why would those 2 side panels have 2 small cutouts molded in to precisely accomodate the trucks lowered front wheels in combined mode? Great pics from you too bro!

It's been a while and I owe y'all some pictures. I really love this dude, he's so much more dynamic than I thought he would be and he looks just so good! This mold is definitely the best version of Ginrai, hands down! It blows the Hasbro/TT, Maketoys, and the KFC versions out of the water! Also, I have God Armor, so those pictures and their combination coming soon!

PM me the address and they're yours mate.

Only that they look great, and don't clutter him. I'm on my second Power Baser now, hence the chase, but there won't be a third!
Thanks – I did because they're usually great, but no reply as yet, which i can understand as it's a pretty trivial request. I'd almost rather they got on with my Autobot Powermasters…
I've noticed that Toyhax seems to have knocked the 3P sets on the head, maybe that's a strategic move.
They are indeed! Would you consider sending them on please? Just let me know how much you'd like.
Dodgy Dan
Are these the stickers you're after?

I'm surprised ToyHax haven't obtained a scan and started reproducing the sticker sheet. Especially if there's pics of it online – maybe there just isn't demand for it though? Or maybe they don't want to be sued for copyright infringement….

Have you tried reaching out to Fans Hobby to see if they possibly have extras?
Their after sales support is amazing so it's always worth a shot.

I have no idea how I didn't know that, thank you. I did a quick Google search and found pictures of the sheet itself and even a thread here on the boards about sticker placement, but I can't seem to locate anything that shows the final product after the stickers are applied. Know anything there?
Sandstormer
Yes, a sheet was included with the first version of Double Evil (and maybe the second, not sure about that).
Optimus.Magnus
There's stickers for power baser? I mean, outside the generic faction symbol sheets you can get.
Sandstormer
I'm still after the stickers for Power Baser in case anyone in the UK fancies sending him my way. In exchange for money. Some money. Maybe not a lot. But plenty of gratitude!

He is very stable. The feet are wide and thick enough to support him very securely. He has some solid ratchets on the hips and will stay in place with no problems. He is a superb figure and you will be very pleased if you get him.
lordthai
does this fig stable with its's huge backpack?

I believe lightning eagle is in stock at fanshobby.
MB-16 Lightning Eagle [Re-issue 2022]

Love the Powermaster Prime variant. Though if anyone has Lightning Eagle and wishes they had the Optimus Prime variant, I’d definitely trade mine. Originally had Lightning Eagle, but the one tfsource sent was last one in stock and it had a issue, so they agreed to exchange for a different figure (In this case I believe V2 Power Baser).
EDIT-Looks like I’ll be getting lightning eagle and don’t need to trade for one now. Thanks everyone who sent me links, appreciate this community.

Welcome to the PB club As I sometimes say – FH got this figure perfect, first time 'round. Give consideration to picking up his black God Armour companion bro This is one of the best pics I've seen of PB – dynamic & epic pose.
