Fans Toys
Fans Toys is a toy company that specializes in third-party Transformer toys.
Fans Toys produce masterpiece scaled toys, with homage aesthetics, closely resembling that of the 1980's cartoon. Debuting originally in 2006, with their trailer homage to match and accentuate the original scaled, Official Master Piece figure MP-1. Which at the time, only had a cardboard mock up trailer included, which was part of the packaging itself. "FT-01" is the retroactive identifier, for "The Trailer of 20th Anniversary OP"[1] a Master Piece-sized rendition of the original. Not to be confused with Justitoys' own non-transforming trailer accessory. An FT-02 Acoustic Wave project in a MP style was planned, but was postponed for nearly a decade[2], once the official figure was announced. With figures ranging from Season 1 - 4 characters of the U.S. continuity, and The Japanese continuity toyline, and anime. Some have different variants, with different paint schemes. These homage the various lines which created the original figures, prior to the cartoon's initial debut in 1984. Any such variant, has a designation marker after the number. For example:
FT-03 - Regular version - refer to animation coloring style
FT-03C - Clear version, translucent
FT-03T - Toy version homage to the original figure see also FT-04T, 05T, 12T, 16T, & 44TUS/JP
FT-04X - Premium paint, complementing MP-8X King Grimlock - see also FT-05, 06, 07, 08, & 10
FT-04D - Diaclone version see also FT-06, & 08
FT-04G - G2 version see also FT-06, & 08
FT-10LX - Soft [Translucent]
FT-16M - Movie/Metallic
FT-29T [3] - Toon on this repaint only, opposed to Toy for other releases - see FT-03T, 04T, 05T, 12T, 16T, & 44TUS/JP.
Reissues with differentiated package release dates, is also listed in brackets. Any dates listed after each entry, roughly indicated by a ?, are precise release dates are shown. These are based on a US/Canadian calendar year, as the Chinese calendar year ends on January 22nd, which is the companies country of origin. Any figure released or produced in that time frame, would reflect on the prior production year.
