TFNation have posted their latest anouncement which states that TFC Toys will be showcasing new and existing product at the 2016 show which takes place in Birmingham, England. TFC Toys are behind the incredible Hades combiner, based on the Transformers Victory Leo Kaiser / Brestforce figures. We own all four which have been released so far, and they are in must have. Their latest figure, Poseidon, also looks spot on as a giant Seacon combiner.

Operation: Third Party Appearance – TFC Toys
#TFNation is proud to announce that TFC TOYS will be providing their first UK product display at TFNation 2016.
Founded in 2008, many feel that TFC Toys started the Combiner Wars with their immensely popular Hercules figure, a giant six robot/construction vehicle gestalt combiner based on Devastator. The release of Hercules would shape the world of Third Party #Transformers for years to come, seeing TFC Toys and various other companies produce a multitude of combining robots. Many have speculated that it was the popularity of these Third Party figures which inspired Hasbro into creating the Combiner Wars line. TFC Toys followed up Hercules with Ares (Predacons), Uranos (Aerialbots) and Prometheus (Protectobots).
Their current combiner, Hades (Breastforce), has been touted as the best Third Party combiner figure made so far. If you haven’t made up your mind on Hades TFC Toys will be providing a finished sample as part of their display. Following Hades their latest announced figures, Poseidon, are based on the Seacons: a six robot combiner-Targetmaster group which not only features "Scramble City limbs" (interchangeable) but also each figure has their original triple-changing gimmick. TFC Toys will be displaying currently available figures, future releases in the form of prototypes and hard-copies, and also their latest designs and concepts for future figures.
TFNation is extremely excited to welcome TFC Toys to TFNation 2016 and are humbled that they have chosen to showcase their incredible line up to European fans at our show.
Remember to stay tuned to all our social media channels for more exiting announcements for TFNation 2016.
Further transmissions to follow.

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)

On Sunday TF Upgrader posted an album to their Facebook page which showed new images of the upcoming Fans Project Retro Futures GlaciaLord team. The images include the first look at Tusker, the Mammoth and body of the gestalt team.
The Retro Futures concept is to produce new figures designed to look as if they are from the 1980s complete with vintage instruction manuals, boxes printed with wear and half used sticker sheets. The figures themselves consist of a small robot and an outer "mech" suit with the inner robot becoming the head and chest plate. This look keeps the limbs styled like the 1980s combiner teams where their counterparts had undersized heads compared to their bodies.
The figures are compatible with G1 combiners and are also "scramble" compatible. You can view the new images after the jump.
