Third Party Hounds

I am looking for advise please...
Maketoys, FansToys and TFC (I think) have all come out with their versions of Hound. How do they compare and contrast? If I am looking for a third party Hound, what should I look out for amongst these choices? Thanks.

Re: Third Party Hounds

I’d go for Fanstoys Willis. But finding the figure at a reasonable price is extremely hard now. I missed the boat during the initial release and prices for Willis is insane now. Patiently waiting for a reissue

Re: Third Party Hounds

Gundog isn’t bad but something about the feet just doesn’t do it for me. Sorta looks like he’s wearing Grimlock boots from Scoria

Re: Third Party Hounds

Most seem to go with FT or Maketoys. The former is hard to find. There is rampant speculation, however, that TT is putting out an official version shortly.

Re: Third Party Hounds

I like Willis; my friend likes Gundog. They're both solid.

Re: Third Party Hounds

Maketoys gungod. Solid figure. Takes inspiration from the cartoon, mp styling and the classic deluxe version. Overall very nice hefty bot.

This ^

Also Willis is pretty much OOS everywhere, it may be reissued next year though.

Re: Third Party Hounds

If I remember correctly, FT hound has loose ankles and Maketoys hound (dark green/toy colours) has stiff shoulders.
