Opinions on FT Insecticons - All 3 of them

[DuG]

They are outstanding figures! Even with the ducats they are able to stand up on their own in insect mode.

FT has been reissuing them lately so you should be able to find them easily. The only one that you will have difficulty finding is the grey chest variant of Grenadier as that was a limited release when they were first released. I'm still on the lookout for that one and kicking myself for cancelling my preorder for it.

That's the biggest reason I went the badcube route. Live the colour changing gimmick they added as standard.

That is a great gimmic but personally I don't like BC's ashthetic plus I like the heaviness of the dicast in the FT bugs.

I've got all 3 FT Insecticons and they're great. Definitely the best of the 3P MP Insecticons out there. Definitely worthy of being called Masterpieces.

Whether you can call FT best of the 3P that's up to you. My GP Dinos dispute that title.

I love these guys. They feel so good and are perfectly cartoon accurate.

I accidentally got an extra Bombshell I'd sell you. PM me for info

The way it is designed is basically a plastic "C" that folds in around itself to lock the wing in position. It is quite common for this to break. It still holds up and everything but is broken, on mine anyway. FT does even mention that it is a very delicate piece and to be very careful right in the instructions.

Message the person you bought it from and they'll get you a replacement piece free of charge. I took a year but I got replacement ratchets for Scoria's shoulders when I stripped a screw.

Now to see if I can find the 3 for $300 or less

I've seen some of these pretty cheap. I'm wondering if they are KOs. Does anyone know if they've KOed these? Kinda like the Takara Masterpiece figs.
