murphytronus
You had to be present to win or they drew a new number every fifteen minutes .. The person that won the figure was at the table in seconds to claim his prize
Roadbuster25
I bought raffle tickets for the clear MMC Sphinx at the TFcon event this past weekend. Can anyone tell me the website that will post the raffle ticket numbers that were selected?
BB Shockwave
Does that female dinobot have… spring loaded boobs?!?
Hoffman
I believe everything but Welker was available to everybody.
rubadubspawn
Was this 3rd party preview open to all attendees? I can't believe I missed it!
UndertakerPrime
That Phoenix looks amazing. $210 is a bit steep, but I may have to bite the bullet to get the toon accurate Skyfire I've always wanted.
Also excited for the Animated stuff. Gimme gimme gimme Mixmaster & Scrapper.
Slave IV
Luckily, my S4 has been extremely reliable and it's just the mods that are killing me. Yeah, B5 S4 is one of my all time favorite cars. Just gotta get a p-car sometime and my car collection can be complete. Until then, I'll settle for some Jazz toys. None of the Jazz options have boon me away but I'll see once I see some product in hand.
80sforged
Headsculpt on Hardhead was very different in Rebirth, smaller, rounder, with bigger visor eyes. Ironwill covers toy and Japanese Headmasters, so I would like to see FT try Hardhead for a Rebirth version (crazy as it sounds). The blockiness, and simpler detailing on Lupus made me think Sunbow. To do Headmasters they would have to have an angled wraparound visor, which should be feasible.
TFormerfan
so stoked for more 3rd party animated figures
chuckcjc
Doesn't a simple second faceplate (like MakeToys did with Ironwill) cover both?
Big Convoy XIII
So far what I want the most is that Nova upgrade kit. Now I just need to wait for a release date.
Requiem Prime
Woo, just checking it all out at once online is a rush. I do hope the next podcast is just walking through all the things.
Still excited to see TFC pull off perfect Seacons, and I was expecting more of Gorira would only make me smile. Robot, beast, and air modes all ride that line of nods to the source with clear upgrades. Ground mode's okay, just not getting points for looking less silly than air mode anymore. That diaclone robot came out of nowhere, and I think I'll keep an eye on Toyword's Cosmos, Arcee, and Mastermind's Apeface.
Beezleboss (glad they're not dead) reminded me there was a third version of that joyous Chromia toy. That pic of all three at once (sisters or something) using a shared weapons rack just tickled me.
chuckcjc
Wow, I am so excited for the Maketoys Apeface, and the Fans Toys Weirdwolf. Awesome news.
Prime135
Hmmm, odd, maybe they've got some kind of deal worked out with the headmasters then, one does the autobots, the other does the decepticons (not counting the triple changers).
Honesty
Pretty positive they don't.
It was FansProject that had any sort of relation to MakeToys.
Prime135
So, random question, do maketoys and fanstoys have a KFC/X-transbots style relationship? I ask for several reasons (including the obvious "toys" in both of their names), first off, keeping in mind that I've only ever handled ft's insecticons and reflector, they have very similar feeling plastic to maketoys remaster releases. Then there's fanstoys using a maketoys product to show off their werewolf, and the fact that they chose to lead with a headmaster that maketoys hasn't tackled and shows no sign of tackling, even though it's probably towards the bottom of the list as far as headmaster popularity goes.
Robogeek28
Now that's pretty cool.
edgecrusher
I was more interested in the conference exclusives than most of the new figures announced.
Seeing a complete full-color TFM Havoc Menasor would have been interesting.
Or MakeToys announcing their next Quantron/Guardia/Giant scale combiner.
Neither of those happened.
the oaf
I didn't know that, no… but it's very interesting. I was thinking more along the lines of the arm kibble and ankle wheels on the Toyworld version… it just says "Hoist" to me more than the MMC mold does.
Ragnar
I just finally ordered MMC's Jaguar. If I like him, I'll likely order their version of Rumble and Laserbeak. I'm generally fine with the official Takara cassette figures, but their robot modes are a bit too small for my display, and I want something larger.
Phoenix/Skyfire is a definite order for me, as long as his QA/QC is fine and Takara doesn't announce an official one before his release.
MP Trailbreakers are finally a comin'! Yeee-haw!
