As you would have noticed, our regulary posting on the Moon hasn't been that regular in a long-time, and our focus on TheVisionaries.net has also slowed in recent months. The basic reason is work and life getting in the way. We recently bought a second light tent and are hoping to get back to taking more (regular or semi-regular) pictures soon (once work goes back to just 5 days a week).
Anyway the reason for that introduction is that we missed quiet a bit of 3rd Party news this week ... so here's a roundup.
3rd Party Masterpiece Hound
Like buses you wait for one, and two come along at once. Both MakeToys and TFCToys have shown off grey prorotypes of their Not-Masterpiece Hound figure, so you can substitute their Hound in place of the one Takara-Tomy haven't made ... yet
- MakeToys
Name; Gun Dog
Height: 16.5 CM / 6 1/2 inches
Notes: Has two robot modes (pretty much the shoulder postions) for "Classic G1 Look" and "Modern Classic Look" - TFC Toys
Name: Detective
Height: Unknown
Notes: Less G1 toy accurate
3rd Party Masterpiece Chromdome
MakeToys' entrerance into the Masterpiece Class of Transformers figures doesn't stop with Gun Dog (Hound) as they have also announced a nive looking Masterpiece Chromedome. The character, made popular by Nick Roche and James Roberts in the Transformers More Than Meets The Eye comic certainly looks nice.
- Maketoys
- Name: Cupola
Height: 22 CM / 9 inches
Notes: Comes with his Headmaster figure (Stylor in the West)
