Third Party company Fans Hobby, via their Facebook account, images of the prototype of their upcoming MB-19 Doubledealer.
This is Fans Hobby’s take on the double agent Transformer for the Masterpiece scale. This is still a pretty early mold to test the engineering and parts but it gives us a hint at the design of the robot, vehicle and bird mode. We have some comparison shots next to other Fans Hobby figures. It seems like a big figure. Stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates!
See the mirrored images after the jump and then let us know your impressions on the 2005 Board!

Got him at last!
[Sigh] I really should be arrested; if not for theft, then at least treason against the whole Transformers collection community: I scored him second-hand in perfect condition (even the stickers were unapplied) for just $163 shipped – that’s in AUSSIE DOLLARS, which works out about US$105(!)
I almost don’t know whether to keep him or flip him for twice the price over on ExtortionBay (kidding; I’m keeping him, I’m keeping him!)
But seriously, what an awesome figure (much bigger in hand than I realised too!) Can’t wait to properly unbox it…

I'm just waiting for Fans Hobby to do a 2nd run of the purple wing version

Yes bird bot is specific to this release/design etc.
The Crazy Collector
I bought this guy a few months ago, but I confess I’m only just getting around to messing with him. Very nice figure overall! A little finicky in some bits (mostly related to the wings) and I’m never too impressed with Fans Hobby instructions (images are too small, they randomly change POV, steps are often unclear, etc) but all modes look great!
One question though: is the winged robot mode completely made up for this toy? If I remember right, I thought Doubledealer just had the three modes: missile truck, Decepticon bird, and Autobot robot?

Fans Hobby MB-19A & 19B Double Agent Comparisons
Well may as well get them together. I have the wrong thigh rotation on 19A Decepticon bot mode though. Didn’t notice it until after I edited unfortunately.

I um'd and ah'd for ages and he's fantastic. I don't bother with the backpack, i just leave the wings out. Not toon accurate, but that phrase can do one anyway. Here's hoping for a bull-horn/horri-bull.

Been considering this figure for a while and your photos helped me across the line!
A great character in Masterforce.

No, I have to be selective believe it or not!
I don't have any of the Armada homages and there's a couple of repaints I chose to skip, like Bossman.

They're great photos of a great collection @GunFire Alpha . Clearly you love FansHobby and the figures they continue to put out. Do you have all of them?
GunFire Alpha
Thank you!

Nice!!!

Been stalking this thread for a little bit and I think I'm gonna track down the teal one as I prefer the consistent altmode colors.
Had a lot of FH and find them an incredibly hit or miss company but seems like this guy is one of their best.
GunFire Alpha
You speak the truth!
Excuse the mess, I'm in the middle of a sort out of our spare room but here's some current collection pics

No – it won't. And resisting the urge for doubles only makes things worse LOL.

I’m suddenly feeling the need for doubles of all the weird coloured late G1 con exclusives! I’m sure it’ll pass!
