New In-Hand Images of FansProject CA-05 Backfiery

Nice! I really like the first two of these, hope Kickback is on par. Looks good in the pics. I think Bombshell is my favorite though... just a cool looking toy.

Ever since these dudes were revealed, I promised myself to only get Stormbomb, but I don't think I'll be able to keep that promise for much longer , they just look so good together.

Stormbomb is the one I want most of all. So looking forward to this and having all three together!

As soon as it shows up in my pile of loot im hitting ship !!!

Hurry up and get on my shelf please!

These three look so badass together.

Shrapnel and Bombshell already are awesome. Kickback looks so badass with those knives:D

god i want these soooooo bad

what i want to know is why big bad toy store marked up the price on these figures?

If I were to get any of these (which I might, if I ever get the money ), I might get this one, since he's practically the only one that actually looks reminiscent of his inspiration.

Never was a big Insecticon fan but I do like Kic- er I mean, Backfiery

Looks amazing. I am so looking forward to this one even more than the others.

Backfiery has the best alt mode of the bunch in my opinion. But of course they all are excellent though.

Anyone else notice that BBTS raised the price of these guys? $51.99 now?

a little trick called artistic licencing - that and its so they wont have a barrage of lawyers coming down on them

they all look bad ass - better than the originals i'd say - but that's just me

wish i had the robert-dinero's to get all three, and dare i say it - they look almost as if they would be part of a combiner team (if that was possible)

Whew! Glad I preordered at the lower price!

First question: What is the the deal with the increased prices?

Next question: When will BBTS release Stormbomb and Backfiery? I'm getting excited, I can't wait anymore.

Final question: Will the increase prices affect those who pre-ordered STormbomb and Backfiery last month?

Hell. Yes.

They already released the initial wave of Stormbombs, I got mine a couple of weeks ago. Backfiery and th Stormbomb restock should be in anytime now. As for the price, you pay whatever the price was when you placed your preorder, so if you ordered yours prior to the increase you don't have to worry about the new price.

I am very excited for this guy.

Backfiery is my favorite. I even like his name.

IMO, Kickback is the coolest looking one of them in ninja mode, actually looks like a ninja. From the head to the fishnet chest and thinner build. Can't wait for the trio to be complete.

I love how the ninja team looks, there's a big one, the mid, and the shrimp fry. The whole ryu-hayabusa-I'm-excessive feel is there with each of them. The mesh/fishnet detailing adds more to it, not as solid as FP's older work but they have to start from somewhere.

I just hope you can stick the wings up like the G1 toy

I really can't wait for these guys!

Kickback was always my favorite Insecticon, so I'm especially looking forward to get him!

I'm shipping my POL with all 3 as soon as it hits!

I still think it's a little weird that we still haven't seen the next two yet. FPCore states: "There are no Upcoming Releases listed at this time. Please check back again soon." Are CA-06 & CA-07 cancelled or are they still being planned? I know we didn't know what was coming after CA-01/02 but we still knew they were doing something but in the last 2 months 3 weeks there's been nothing on FPCore since they launched with Heart Master.

Given their past reputation for releases coming on-time, I'd say this is completely expected, and I have no doubt we'll see CA-06, CA-07, Crossfire 3, Warbot 2, and Heartmaster 1 over the course of the next two or three years.

I always thought their schedule was a bit ambitious...

For those that wanted to know CA-04 StormBomb is back in stock @ BBTS

That didn't work out well for City Commander ... I think it's just something we'll all get used to once we have them in our possession for a few years.

it never works out well unless you can modify some minor twos-and-fews to get past the legalities then you are laughing...if not - then an alternate style will be the better bet

Tell that to CHMS, iGear, or Impossible Toys.

Bombshell's sais, when stored can easily be raised over his head to emulate the 'real' Bombshell's look.

CA-05 Backfiery is instock @ BBTS

I sent ya a PM on that information.

I received both CA-04 and 05 today in the mail. Really cool pieces. Looking forward to Reprolabels coming up w/ some decals to spice them up a bit.

I got all three Insecticons and Exgraver today. Definately glad I waited until they were all in. These guys are very, very nice. Definately worthy of being the Classics Insecticons. Although the heads will take some getting used to.
