New TFcon Commander Statement / Universe Divided Lithograph Available to NonAttendees

The TFcon website has been updated with a new statement regarding the news of the Henkei Commander Set:
While we at TFcon were never consulted by FansProject as to offering a deco similar to Powered Commander to others before they started production on their Henkei version, since becoming aware of the situation this week we have contacted FansProject to create a verbal agreement that can satisfy the Asian fans and the businesses that FansProject have already entered into arrangements with, while still protecting the exclusivity of our product and the interests of our attendees. Unfortunately, the original agreement with FansProject in place in regards to our exclusive was not met to the standard we expected, but we wish to thank FansProject for their willingness to alter their plans to try and satisfy the fans across the globe and wish them the best in their future offerings.

TFcon is now offering non-attendees a chance to own the Alex Milne TFcon 2009 Universe Divided Lithograph. Please email us for details.

TFcon Statement Regarding the Henkei Commander Set

The TFcon website has been updated with an official statement regarding the news of a Henkei Commander Set:
We at TFcon wish to extend an apology to any attendees or fans who feel slighted by recent events concerning the release of a Henkei Commander Set. We at TFcon were unaware of any intention of FansProject to release the set (with or without changes), and had been informed that this colour scheme would be exclusive to our convention. We regret that this is not the case, and hope that the actions of FansProject will not reflect poorly on our show, as they are outside of our control.

Re: TFcon Statement Regarding the Henkei Commander Set

I don't blame TFCon. I blame FansProject. It's a shame. Up until this morning I loved FP and would buy anything they put out. Now I'm conflicted. I'm pissed that they're re-releasing Powered Commander, especially so soon. If they wanted to get more out of the mold, why not re-release a version of City Commander with all the accessories of the Shadow and Powered versions? Like a "perfect edition" then re-release Shadow Commander with the same some time later, like 6 months to a year. And then a "Perfect Edition" Powered Commander after that. That I wouldn't have a problem with. But they're doing this not even a month after TFCon. Booooo, FansProject. BOOOOoooo!

Re: TFcon Statement Regarding the Henkei Commander Set

I cannot imagine anyone blaming TFcon for this. Everything falls into the lap of FP on this one.

Re: TFcon Statement Regarding the Henkei Commander Set

I'm torn on how to feel about this, We should have seen it coming after the Botcon 07 (Henkei) Seekers.

In the end, I'll still pick up "Protector", after all they are a business first & foremost.

Re: TFcon Statement Regarding the Henkei Commander Set

Makes me wonder what kind of language was used when TFCon and Fan's Project made the arrangments to have Powered Commander a figure at the show. Did Fan's Project ever officially agree to make the figure an exclusive and did TFCon and FP agree on the definition of exclusivity?

Even if FP left some kind of loop hole to release the figure, releasing a figure in an exclusive paint scheme but only with some chrome is a pretty poor showing on FP's part. It's barely different.

Has FansProject Confirmed anything yet? or is it all rumor.
