Third party company Dreamstar Toys have updated, via their Weibo account, images of the color prototype of their DST01-001 Slingshoot (Aerialbot Slingshot).
This is a highly stylized design take on Slingshot, with a different sculpting choice compared to the cartoon-accuracy tendency of recent figures. The images reveal a good level of poseability in robot mode and a solid and realistic alt mode. According to the information shared, it will be around 22 cm tall in robot mode, with die-cast and it won’t need any extra parts to transform into the combiner’s arm. This figure is part of Dreamstar Toys Encourager / Superion which they had already revealed a complete gray prototype before.
We still have not concrete information about price or release date, but stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates. Now click on the bar to see the mirrored images on this news post and then sound off on the 2005 Board!

BBB often puts their priced up earlier than other retailers – possibly because they charge shipping separately, so they don't have to factor that in if it winds up a different size or weight to what they were expecting. They're also (supposedly) an official DST distributor so they would want to have that sort of info early from DST.
Importantly they list the ETA as this month. Only a week left, but it's still possible.

It must be soon, bombusbee have released the price for it.

Does anyone know when the last member is going to be released?

You're absolutely right. It's a far better idea than mine. Not everyone can afford to buy a second copy of a 200 USD figure just because the first one was a broken piece of shit. A free upgrade/fix set as an apology would suffice.

But then in Addition, Release a FREE Fix, for all that own
Silverbolt Version 1. Because if not, it would be again
a "Fuck you" Middle Finger, for all those who got the Silverbolt with Issues, and for those Owners, where the Shoulders could break at some Point.
They need to be fair. Because I am no damn
Beta Tester for these Idiots. Only to see, that
other People get a better Version of a Figure, that
I paid much Money for.

Makes you wonder if they'd redo/remake (from scratch) previous combiners they've already completed or continue on with the remaining combiners. So far with each name change, they've continued from where they left off and also have only released vehicle combiners and so if they were to continue as they've done historically, they most likely would do liokaiser or the trainbots next?

Well I hope they put a rachet in the elbow in combine mode…….

to be fair there was point we thought generation toy wouldn't even live to complete their protectobots….that hot spot took forever to come out and was full of issues, no?

Perhaps they could reissue their Silverbolt, but with fixed issues.

What was DST before this?

They will return under another brand, they always do

Ok, I actually really like how they put the wing's hinge-point inboard of the real-world hinge-point. The wingtip is permanently bent up that way, it basically forces to line it up accurately/realistically. (the only way to have the tips totally horizontal, would be to bend it down mid-wing and misalign the hinge there–which it may not even fold that way that far).

If they do another, I hope its the techno bots or abonaminus.

Has DST announced/hinted towards a new project that they're planning to do next? Would have loved to give them another chance after how they improved in the last 2 figures. Just hoping they don't vanish.

Yes, no doubt. I just said he stands in a complete combiner.
