Livestream Review: Fans Toys FT-31D Smokey // P4L Reviews

[@cameronmoriarty3313]

About the spudger being downstairs, I have something with pens (mostly mugs) in every room of our house, just in case I need a pen for some reason, and I just went ahead and added a spudger to each of those just so they are handy.

[@AgtWashingtub]

This is a very good idea that I will make use of. Thank you.

[@kaseyflemingart]

So far FT stunticons have been some some of the most impressive G1 transformers to date. IMO of course.

[@markellzey1531]

Spoiler has a trouble spot with the piece that goes from the back of the door to the wheel...it is a very easy piece to break off. It doesn't have much durability for a lot of transformations.

[@UnChannelDuVulpineX]

2:53 My shin tabs were already out. The box flap was bent, too. On top of that, the right arm had some dirt on it. Ordered from the UK.

[@Paik4Life]

Sorry to hear that but hopefully the fire itself was good!

[@UnChannelDuVulpineX]

@@Paik4Life figure? Yes, it's great! They look good as a team. I've got a bad feeling that the combiner parts coming with the last figure do not include the great big trailer. It'll just be hands, feet the gun and sword. The skeleton of the combiner will be a separate purchase. $200 seems too cheap for a figure and the parts and the entire body of the combined mode.

[@lowellmartens6135]

I was really hoping they would start doing more hands, and how they hold their guns, like their hunk. All of these FTs Stunticons are pretty amazing. The 'mas shifting' they are able to pull off is so good. That combine mode is cool. Makes me look forward to seeing how the Airielbots arms will work. Always disappointed when I miss the live stream. Really looking forward to this bot. Thanks for the review Paik.

[@Paik4Life]

We missed you! I would definitely like upgraded hands but more along the lines of articulation. The weapon holding is fine and while the slotted methods are nice, I don't like how you can see the slots. At least the palm slots are mostly hidden.

[@AgtWashingtub]

Can you tell me more about upgraded hands? I have Dinobots and Stunticons only.

[@Paik4Life]

@@AgtWashingtub he’s talking about the design used for their Hunk/Brawn. It’s a different design. I have a review or two for Hunk on my channel

[@gw9241]

Thanks for the excellent review and transformation. I like your theory of how Smokey is used in combined mode, very ingenious engineering at the knees if that is the case. Thanks again and hope you have a great 2021.

[@Paik4Life]

Thanks. Let’s hope that we all have a better 2021!

[@THEWATCHERISLOOKING]

Does that combiner arm mode swivel. Not that it has to extremely swivel.

[@Paik4Life]

Yes, but until we see how it combines and the other parts, we can't be sure he'll have access to the swivel. I imagine he will though.

[@THEWATCHERISLOOKING]

@@Paik4Life maybe that combiner part will have a butterfly joint.

[@blainedavisenergonentertai6050]

GIANT mark for the 86 Stunticons...sooo close to having all three sets (FT, DX9, XTB) finally completed!

[@notgray88]

bro where the heck did you get that much money 😭

[@tommygeorgejr2931]

Good transformation

[@burtgreicher6629]

cool piece of engineering for the combined mode's elbow...but i am worried about its tightness...seems a bit loose to hold the weight of lets say a big sword

[@Paik4Life]

Yeah, it's not that strong for a combiner joint, but my hope is that the frame pieces and joint cover are somehow engineered to add additional support.

[@slip6699]

Thanks, I never transform mine into the alt mode lol.

[@Paik4Life]

You basically have to for combined mode!

[@slip6699]

I like the team look over the giant robot look.

[@espinasse1984]

Great review! Hopefully the gold knee cap isn’t too annoying 😆

[@Paik4Life]

My OCD activated for sure

[@johngavin1175]

@@Paik4Life Never noticed that knee part in the promo pics. Did notice the back love handles though,ha ha. May not be bad in hand. Getting mine from Agabyss. Cant wait for the preorder for Dead End and the combiner parts...

[@Sideswipe5236]

We got a bleeder, lmbo

[@tabaskob]

Great review! Tnx.

[@dex_tha_collector]

Good review but I’m bummed I missed the livestream. Is Toy Dojo in the east coast? I am still waiting for mine from TFSource but hopefully it will ship soon because I can’t wait. Faaannnnssstoyyyys!

[@Paik4Life]

They are in Texas but some items ship from me on the east coast

[@miguelangelmirandaayavire7770]

Buena figura👏👏👏.pero pienso que esta demas el conductor como accesorio🤔🤔🤔🤔saludos desde chile

[@RobGamer001]

I really hope there's a piece that covers the legs cause that looks horrible for combine mode IMO.

[@Paik4Life]

There definitely is based on renders. Don’t worry!

[@cameronmoriarty3313]

According to Daimchoc's posts the recent FT box art is done by Iohannes Vinci. If you search Daimchoc Reports on facebook for that name you can get clean images of the artwork that was shared.

[@Paik4Life]

That’s it! Now that I see the name I remember. Thanks for that!

[@cameronmoriarty3313]

@@Paik4Life It's so frustrating when you can't come up with a name you know.

[@iolabstudio]

Yes mate! It's me!!!! My personal DArt page --> www.deviantart.com/whelljeck. Thanks a lot ;-)

[@THEWATCHERISLOOKING]

Is there a arm swivel in the combined mode?

[@Paik4Life]

Hard to say without the additional pieces for combined. He does have a waist swivel that could be used as bicep but since there are pieces that cover that part up, you may not be able to use it once actually combined.

[@stevecamilleri1975]

Great video as always Paik.

[@leandrotf6819]

Parabéns ! Obrigado por compartilhar

[@gunslin33able]

Sweeeeeeeet awesome review my friend I per order mine with BBTS

[@kinggrimlock35]

They’re sold out.... where should I buy it?..

[@Paik4Life]

Ooh you might be in trouble. You have to preorder FT releases nowadays. Check Dojo Disciples on Facebook. If they have extras toy Dojo offers them there first

[@darrencheong2231]

Really beginning to wonder how this thing will combine

[@Paik4Life]

Maaaaaagic *insert Shia gif here *

[@buboken1]

Nice one thanks for the video

[@zanfan26]

i will buy it not tomorrow, not next week. NOW

[@theintangiblecog5157]

FansToys demands your blood sacrifice. Mwa-haha! lol

[@Paik4Life]

A blood sacrifice they will have...YOURS!

[@theintangiblecog5157]

@@Paik4Life sorry, blood makes me a little squeamish. I'll have to take a rain check. Oh, and I just got my instock preorder notice on this fig. Sweet!

[@jasonjones-ji6qd]

im really surprised they added a driver accessory since a Decepticon would never willingly have a human attached to them lol...a Autobot for sure but not a Decepticon

[@johnbutner2570]

Like Snarf said, I think it's meant as a hologram - perhaps that's one reason they made it only half a man. Seekers used to come with ghost / holograms human silhouettes as well. Can't have a self driving racecar without raising a few questions, can they?

[@brianpavlina8638]

When do ya think Americans will receive their Smokey’s?

[@Paik4Life]

This is an American release. Toy Dojo has already shipped to customers

[@geewunder1171]

Nervous about their Dead End man... any news?

[@Paik4Life]

I wouldn’t worry. They’re reissuing figures so it’s not like they’re gone

[@jgoody8927]

Wassup folks

[@johnbutner2570]

FansToys did it again, no ab crunch and no arm out movement. Sometimes I hate that their figures are the ones in highest demand because they have gotten so careless and lazy with the articulation. That alt mode looks goofy to me but I guess it's pretty well show accurate.

[@omegaprime3261]

Or do you mean holding out right now

[@토이랜드-u4s]

어디서 샀어??

[@Paik4Life]

Dead End To Go

[@iolabstudio]

Very honoured you liked my artwork again. Check my other arts here www.deviantart.com/whelljeck. Thanks a lot and enjoy! PS: my name is Iohannes Vinci (Whelljeck on D-Art)

[@vybz6502]

That back is pretty underwhelming

[@Paik4Life]

Better than a huge backpack I guess, but yeah pretty weird looking

[@notgray88]

The back is actually show accurate! Their backs were all plain rectangles in the original G1 cartoon.

[@fragginbastich7307]

Chill out about the blood geez.

[@primus699]

If you have no! Patience whats so ever, then take yourself to target, and get yourself a Tonka toy

[@Paik4Life]

Not sure if that's meant for me, but thanks for the comment, I guess?
