I guess Cog is being done on the assumption that the Fort Max reissue is expensive (especially if you have to ship overseas) so anyone who brought it is likely to be enough of a mad fan of the character to be interested in supped up versions of his little pal?

'Course, who'd buy a third-party Crankcase? I mean, really? I like the guy, and the Scavengers issue made me like him more, but I'm never ever going to pay third-party prices for him.Denyer wrote:Shooting themselves in the foot if they think many people will want two very similar figures at third party prices.
Whereas anyone who's a fan of Ironfist probably has read Roberts' other work, and wouldn't mind Crankcase tagging along. That's the only logic I can think of.
Regardless, whatever fleeting chance of me buying him has just disappeared. I've got nothing but love for Crankcase, but I don't need a third-party priced toy of him.

I'm glad. That makes me onboard for the figure again.

Doesn't look that great in color, to be honest. I hope the one that Mastermind creations makes is going to look a little better.

Yeah, it's more faithful to the original... but the original was a brick.Springer85 wrote:Unique Toys War Lord - UT-W03 War Bison Sample Photos Update:

Seem to recall reviews of the "Divebomb" that indicated some QC issues as well.
Is it just the two companies doing designs analogous to the Predacons?

I think that it's only these 2 companies that are doing the Preds, yeah. I haven't seen any others so far. Though I'll keep an eye out for it

Think I'm going to get this one. Looks like BBTS is selling them separately.
As a professional tanuki (I'm a Japanese mythological animal, and a good luck charm), I have an alarm clock built into me somewhere. I also look like a stuffed animal. And you thought your life was tough......

Wings of Uranos supplement set. Face plate, arm mounted cannon, chest plate, etc.
Love the look, but it should've been included with the existing releases.

Looks like a third party Overlord is in the works
https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set ... 600&type=1
The tank looks a bit weird...

Looks really awesome, but, yeah, tank mode's odd - still better than G1 version. To be honest, I really really want to see HasTak revisit overlord properly...
New sale thread added with a range of Transformers including Masterpiece, Botcon, CHUG, RID, Movies etc.
Looking for MP-11T Thundercracker and MP-9 Rodimus v2 (Takara version with as few QC issues as possible).
Check out my new sale thread now!
Also items on eBay.
Never noticed these Fansproject ones last year, third party Brainstorm homage... the blockiness works for him, whereas it feels weird seeing the same approach to Chromedome after MTMTE.

Hmmm, that Not-Overlord... is that aircraft carrier mode also one of his transformation? Would kind of make the tank mode forgiveable if so. It looks pretty good. Not good enough for me to buy with the expected ludicrous price, but one that looks pretty damn good nonetheless.
Not-Brainstorm and Not-Weirdwolf really look pretty nice. Very, very refreshing to see Weirdwolf not look like a brick.
Agree with Denyer that after MTMTE seeing a traditional bricky Chromedome is... different.

Some new photo's via Robotkingdom. Looks to me like a 3rd party Defensor is in the works because the guy on the first pic looks an awful lot like Streetwise! (He's in robotform in some later pics too)
