FP and FPC are they not the same?

[kirbenvost]

I guess according to FPC they are not. FPC is a shop and news outlet for FP but they are not owned by FP. But they could just be covering their asses in case the Hasbro lawyers come knocking.

MP Shockwave: Oh god no, I can't afford that... looks potentially awesome though. I kinda hope Takara does one first. Or Galvatron. Rodimus Prime needs his nemesis.

Dear God that 'Christmas Sweater' is hideous.

Yeah, I never got that whole FPC/FP thing.. I saw the news on tfw2005 where they were explaining the differences or whatever.. but it was so long I decided to skip it. Someone needs to provide a Too long; didn't read description.

Cool, TFW actually shows the prototype...looking pretty cool...oh my poor wallet :P

[kirbenvost]

^The proto does look pretty awesome. Kinda chunky, more like MP-01/05 aesthetic than the newer ones. Kind of wondering how he transforms, since he's so bulky.


Re: FP/FPC - I think that was the gist of the 'press release', what I posted.

I still feel like Maketoys is an offshoot of FP... OMG CONSPIRACY THEORIES.

Here's a link with a lengthy discussion but yea FP, FPC and MK have all ties in some way through Cygnie. If anyone remembers he was the owner of Ultra Action Toys and his little brother ran the crystal mall store. There's no conspiracy, the circle is quite small and isn't too common for such ties.

Been saying that for the last little while as well.

Too bad the prices are getting rediculous. Guess the 3Ps feel that they can charge higher prices because the TF Fandom has a gasm everytime the 3P releases an item

But doesn't spending $25+ on a fan made print t-shirt seem too much?

Don't get me wrong, I'm the first to splurge on some brand name t's but I feel $10 is the max for these type of shirts. Must be all the teefury grab bags I buy that has me buying cheap and hoping for a couple good ones �� Come to think of it maybe I should buy a shirt I like than hoping I don't get stuck with a dud lol

Compared to RIPT shirt quality I'd gladly pay for an AA Shirt vs any other shirt companies. Hence the pricing... Plus I don't have to guess my shirt size cause I know my AA size.
