Third Party company Cang Toys, via their Weibo account, have shared images of the color prototype of their CT-Chiyou-03 Firmament (G1 Divebomb).
This new take on the G1 Predacons brings us a very interesting design, stylized for sure but still recognizable as the classic G1 characters. Firmament features a wide range of articulation and many sculpted details in both modes, with a really impressive pair of poseable wings. To top it all, we have a look at the combiner mode as the right arm of Thunderking/Predaking. This mold is planned for the Masterpiece scale, so we should expect a big combiner.
Click on the bar to see the mirrored images and don’t forget that you can already find pre-orders for Cang Toys CT-Chiyou-01 Ferocious/Rampage and CT-Chiyou-02 Landbull/Tantrum via our sponsors links below. Let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Mini Thorilla and Mini Landbull have shipped. Mini Thunderking will soon have pants

Easiest fix is to pop out the ball joint and jam a bit of paper inside the socket. It's crude but effective. For an alternative, you can find some Kiki joint tightener (water-based polyurethane) pretty cheap online. Add a drop or two to the joint and work it in for a few minutes before letting it dry. Shouldn't have any reaction with the paint.

Anybody have tips for tightening ball points with painted parts? My mini rhino’s got some loose ankles, but the inside of the ball joint is panted so I’m nervous about using my superglue on it, I have experience with it ruining paint.

Anyone here know how to take apart the torso. I need to flip the elbow joint because it was installed backwards.

Almost there. I think I am the worst transformer collector ever, I absolutely hate transforming them. Every one comes in bot mode so you have to go to alt mode then to combiner mode. My hands are rubbed raw and I’ve used all my luck with the “play” on some joints. This guy is awesome though.

I can understand how it isn't for everyone … well … until I opened it up. Now I think yall are nuts LOL. In all seriousness, I think they look better in hand than on screen, but am shocked not many are showing their sets. I mean, I get it – if you have the original, it'd be almost like trying to put two king size beds in one room, but still … super neat set.

Ah. Perhaps I might be able to see your point. Monochrome simply isn’t for me.

The gold set …

In my *very* limited space in my office, I had the regular version of the rhino and gorilla displayed next to where I sit. I decided to swap out furious george with the gold rhino … good heavens, it is STRIKING. A beautiful piece. I wonder if this set is the most underrated ever … literally no one seems to talk about it!

The wings and tips fold but doesn't look quite the same
mouschi
whoa! that's like the width of the haslab unicron with the halo thingy around it. No way that fits in my nook … thanks for letting me know!

It took 6 months for Cang to supply two new arms for my Rampage through Omegalock.

I have a question. I dropped firmament awhile back and scratched the gold off his beak and asked for a replacement head from showz. That was 5 months ago. Is that normal?

Wingspan spread is about 32 inches. I have him in my large display and he fills it.
mouschi
right now i have the fireguts ginrai on top of my printer, but am considering putting together goldilocks or the regular version to replace him instead. Can someone please tell me the wingspan and footprint on this fella?
