New TFC Toys Heavylabor Promotional Images

Somebody here please help me, I want these guys sooooo bad, but I can't even come CLOSE to affording them....

Are there any pics of the re-designed replacement shovel for Exgraver that this figure is supposed to be coming with?

Hell yes, the only disappointing thing I can think of is the weapons which don't look much cop. But that's probably more down to the combining weapon gimmick then anything.

Well, that looks even better than the last one! Really too bad I can't afford these. I'm liking the styling and colors. Very Unicron Trilogy, which is a good thing IMO.

And the whole combining gun is totally badass.

Okay, now this guy impresses me. (Well, the pics with the paint I should say)

Leaps and bounds better than Exgraver. Still not enough to get me to pony up $600.00

EDIT: Oh, I'm sorry. $587.94 before shipping, if current Exgraver pricing is extended to the other figures. My bad.

Bah.

that looks absolutely fantastic. so glad i ordered this guy

Wow! I can't believe how well he's turned out. I'm not regretting getting any of these guys at all. I also like that they integrated his bucket better than it just folding down and becoming his legs a la G1

He looks awesome I'm so glad i have him on Pre-order

Loving the shit outta a final color heavylabor.

I look forward to not only the remaining four Non-structicons, but future teams as well.

OH HELL YES. I can't stand this wait though...

Long Haul looks much better with the griil and details painted !!! Still not a fan of the purple legs and green arms for G1 sake. But I see why they did it. If they colored the arms and legs in the proper G1 fashion, it would look stupid in vechicle mode.

And yes, I called him "Long Haul" Sue me for typing a copyrighted name on a non-profit anonymous forum.

Well, that's gorgeous. I believe the last two are to be revealed today?

Still not a fan of the purple boots but they're growing on me. And I guess they're neccessary for the combined mode. I just wish they'd get rid of the translucent red weapons! Does anybody like them?

Not really, no.

Tomorrow I believe. C an't wait to see the designs for Neckbreaker and Mad Blender.

I think the reason Heavylabor looks better than Exgraver is the head. His face looks way better than Exgraver's blank expression. Still I wish one of these third parties would make a decent hand for Leobreaker's savage claw mode.

Me to I realy want Mad Blender/Mixmaster

This figure looks fantastic, i'm buying it.

Still don't like the colours of the weapons, they should be black not gummybear red or waterblaster purple.

Still waiting on the first one, last time i checked it is now in Dutch customs as of August 19th.

I don't mind them, but I am fairly lenient on details like that.

Ah, my bad. Well, then. Can't wait until tomorrow!

The picture of them together is what TFC needs to keep on doing. Shows the finished project coming together. I like exgraver, looks like im going to like HL too, but damn though I still dont like the price but the end prodcut will be worth it..

looks great, definitely getting,

The new painted images are waaaaay better than the previous ones. The legs don't look anywhere near as ridiculous as they did. It even kind of reminded me of a Mega Man-esque design. But that might me because I just put down MMZX Advent about ten minutes ago...

This figure looks superb! One question though--can he take a dump?

Dayyyyym that looks good!

And they look awesome together!

Who cares? If you don't like them, get rid of them yourself. Leave them in the box, throw them away, whatever. You don't have to use them...

I love the translucent red weapons (after my little modification). I only display my Exgraver with it, the purple one is being saved to be Devvies Gun.

I'm not into third party stuff, but this is VERY appealing. The price is the only thing keeping me off this.

More pics anyone?

You know...I was just thinking earlier that I wanted to see pics of Heavylabor in torso mode in full color and BLAM!!! El Duque delivers. Looking good!

And he still looks fantastic. It's funny, there was soo much skepticism that Maketoys' arrival practically stole their thunder. Now it's Maketoys who has to come out strong.

I'm actually thinking the opposite now. If Maketoys doesn't give up something before the 3rd preorder shows up, then people will be too committed to TFC's Hercules to purchase their Giant.

Still interested in the MakeToys version, but I've already invested in Hercules. If they want to get serious preorders going, either MT should sell the figures at a more affordable price ($35 - 45/ea), or just wait until Hercules is finished and then start soliciting.

I'd be happy with them releasing the Mini-bottsu figures and G2 Prime trailer first, just so they aren't competing with a similar, costly project. Yes, I'm aware other companies have plans to release the same mini-bots beginning at the end of this year, but those are pretty affordable compared to $50+ figures.

Damn, that's dedication!

I agree with Mkall. Unless you have the cash to put down on both sets, I think TFC will take a lot of customers here. MakeToy needs to get on the ball before the get left behind.
