Third party group Keith’s Fantasy Club has revealed a pair of new releases. Their fourth mold, confusingly labelled as “CST-02” is Ironpaw, an unlicensed Steeljaw. Ironpaw will be made in two versions the same as Rhinohorn – a Generation 1 inspired “Justice” version and a Shattered Glass inspired “Evil” version.

Thanks for that! Weirdly I did try to buy one from Uncle Billy a few months back, he later emailed that he didn't actually have stock. Think that was the regular yellow one and not the retro release.
Will see if this one is actually in stock! Will just be a stand in anyway until MMC release their autobot cassettes.

Anyone willing to sell their Justice Ironpaw, preferably in the UK?

Got ironpaw from a collector's store near my town. How do I get the little guns to fold out? I can't get them to move!

Got Ironpaw today from Uncle Billy. Anyone else have problems w the gun that pegs in staying on. The pin is too narrow to fit snugly into the arm on one side.

So I believe I just got the reissue recently from BBTS. When I ordered it, they had it as part of their "New in stock" listing.
Anywho… Doesn't seem like much of an improvement if I was going by old reviews. Had to pull out the old Future to help with a loose leg, gun peg and the upper body section where the head pulls out.

Uncle Billy has a listing for the New Version.
I imagine this should be trickling to etailers stateside soon.

So KFC say they are reissuing Ironpaw. I hope this means they broke out the mold to run some "Evil Iron Paw" with SG Transistor!

Hi, I'm pretty new to collecting (third party or otherwise) so please let me know if there's a better place to ask about this.
One of the double hinges on my IronPaw broke while I was transforming it. Here's the side with the broken hinge:
Here's the side with nothing broken, for comparison:
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do? I'm nervous the leg will come off completely if I try to transform it back to beast mode.

Yea, I just had a large order and held off on the B-box/Birdbomber ones for now. the Rhinohorn and Ironpaw ones are great. I think those are worth it!
G1 Collector
Man…. These labels are going to cost almost $50. for only 6 tapes which is insane…. However I know the cost is for the custom tape stickers, which I don't want and will be selling off.
G1 Collector
Yeah , just saw that ! Very cool , never thought it would happen.
Thanks!
Hell, and for KFC Birdbomber and B-Box !!! WHAT!

Looks like it's officially happening! Reprolabels!

Not an official set, but someone on Facebook cut up the labels for Steeljaw and put them on Ironpaw.

I kinda want one of these…

Just want toy did you pick up?

Just happened to pick this guy up today, and I'm floored. WORST 3rd party toy ever. It has the quality and playability of a KO you'd find at Tuesday Morning.
1.) I can't believe a "reputable" company would ever use such thin KO quality plastic.
2.) Where are the paint apps? There's a tiny dot for each eye, and that's it. How is that acceptable?
3.) Eagle is a master of transformers engineering, but KFC ruined his idea by making every transformation step difficult to move, flip out, or rotate. Combine that with the KO quality plastic, and you have a toy that's risky and no fun to transform.
