Ahhh ok, I didn't see that, I still recommend that people put the chest in last to avoid collision but I'm glad they fixed it. I'm going to pin your comment
@@TMReviews I'm not so sure it's a complete fix. Its inherent design and instructions could still result in the scratching. So I agree with u, put the chest in place last to avoid all troubles.
Thanks for doing the comparison on these two. Having just received the FT29T, I think I actually prefer the blue and white of the original! Great content, keep them coming
Great review - I missed out on FT29's original run, managed to get one of the FT29Ts.......barely.......they sold out 0.001 second after instantly. I do prefer the original BLUE Coloration over the violet of the T version. I also, generally for the movie characters, try to stick with a movie like representation, as the cartoon has way too much variance from scene to scene and episode to episode. I also prefer the white thighs/hands/bicep of FT29s to the off white/pink of FT29Ts. Lmao - I state the above - rewatch the scenes and FT29T is, imo, a closer movie representative from the pinkish thighs/hands/biceps to the more violet than blue main color.
I can't wait as I just picked up both Astrotrain and Cyclonus for only $240. No box but comes with all the accessories so I'm good on that. Just wanted to see what the difference was as the photos doesn't really do it for me. Finally picked up my first Fans Toys recently, Acoustic Wave, and I'm not disappointed one bit. I described it to my friends as Fans Toys is the Ferrari of Transformers collecting as none of my figures, Masterpieces and 3rd party Masterpieces, even comes close to the build and paint quality. Got Jazz and Cliffjumper pre-ordered.
Definitely both amazing figures!! Thank you for this review! My apologies for saying the Studio light washes out the white. I hope I didn't offend you! As always great video! TMR
@@TMReviews is just the white and the silver seems to be washed out a little so it's hard to see. But that's okay! What I do is just turn down the Brightness of my phone or my Tablet and it really helps 🙂 as always great reviews. ♥️
I can’t wait to get this guy. He is currently still in shipping. I was hesitant because of the price. I had this guy and the XTB both on preorder and I’m glad I went with the FT. Great review.
"Right away you can see the color differences..." Me: "...there are differences...?" Truthfully the only reason I can tell the two apart is that you have a Decepticon insignia on the original one. If I squint I can see there's a slight difference in the brightness of the main body color, but the white to pink/white is really hard to notice.
I just bought him @showZstore for $269, not bad considering tfsource wanted $309, and he's going for $700 on eBay, thanks 4 the review hes been very elusive in my collection but now I have the 1 I always wanted 🙏🙏🙏📹👍
I have been watching pictures from the 1986 movie vs the TV series and the cartoon version nails it but the original figures nails the movie version and of course the shades change the color pallet period.
I received mine yesterday. Both hips were loose and wobbly in between ratchet clicks and the right upper arm swivel was loose as well. There isn’t any screws there to tighten
I had better luck tabbing the cockpit section on 29T. I could have probably gotten tabbed in completely if I tried with a bit of even pressure, but I have a feeling I'd never get it unpegged again lol. It's the front left tab by the wing that is the problem one. Everything else seems to tab in/out pretty easy otherwise.
@@TMReviews Sweet. I'll check it when the time comes. I have a feeling I'm not going to have to sand much, so I'm waiting til I can get some really fine grit sandpaper. Had it been a different company I might have chanced tabbing it all the way, but I'm not putting any of my FT releases under an undue stress. Things are almost worth their weight in gold lol.
Great comparison. I like both. I have the original release. If I had the extra cash, I would buy the purple to leave misb. Btw, are u using a different camera? For some reason, the picture looked a lot clearer on this video.
I feel a little gypped for getting tricked into a *blue* V1, because this purple V2 is exactly how I remember the toon. They never should have chosen blue. Arrrgh. But then, people are really getting gypped at the jacked-up prices either one of these are going for, now. So I think I should be grateful that at least I got mine before the latest price hike.
Honestly either one is good, both colors are accurate depending on the scene and your preference. I am happy I got one at the origjnal price and happy they reissued this one at a lower than EBay price
It’s all good. In the movie, he is more purple. The cartoon, he’s all over the place. Headmaster series, I believe he is blue more often. Probably why they chose that color scheme the first run.
Yeah but imo hes definitely worth it I just bought him @showZstore for $269 if ur still interested they still have him In stock u get so many accessories I think its worth it good luck 👍
i heard they changed the mould to not scratch the chest in alt mode -- what a missed opportunity! Great review man.
I addressed this in the video, no changes as far as I can tell
@@TMReviews take a closer look at the knee pads. 29T has a flat back, while the 29 has spiked corners

Agreed, those were simple fixes really
Thank you for doing this. It’s very helpful in making decisions on which version to track down.
Glad I could help
A first-rate comparison of an awesome variant!

Thanks!
Great comparison video. Even better is while I'm watching, my Quietus just arrived, so will be happily unboxing once I'm done watching 😁
Nice!
Mine just arrived too!
@@darrelbedford6122 Sweet! Enjoy! I've got mine unboxed and set up with his Decepticon brothers. My autobot troops are pretty screwed now lolz

Great comparison.🌟😎.. Cant go wrong with either one of them😁
Agreed
i sold the Purple one last year. the Blue one’s joints always felt better to me.
Tnx as always for the mention ;-)
Welcome, thanks for watching
Man I love that beat 2 the intro, str8 🔥🔥🔥👍
Thanks 4 the 🎶 bro 🙏👍👍. I missed out on him but ill buy the T version eventually
Still available some places but the price is only gonna go up

Yes I am watching! I'm super excited to get this guy!!!!!
Nice!

thanks for watching, Not offended at all, I prefer to hear feedback like that so I can improve, was it throughout the video?

My camera lights might be too bright, the white is definitely now pink and the blue is definitely purple,. Hard to capture

Tman has a video on fixing the canopy issue,doesn't he? I thought I watched it,but cant remember. Good video,man.
It's a pretty easy fix but just annoying they didn't fix it themselves
I received mine yesterday. Both hips were loose and wobbly in between ratchet clicks and the right upper arm swivel was loose as well. There isn’t any screws there to tighten
Wow, that sounds like a return. mine is pretty much flawless
UPDATE: The 2nd joint on the right elbow (the one held in with a pin) is extremely loose and cannot hold any of the guns up!!! WTF Fanstoys?!?
Oh man you make me worry about mine that will be here in a few days. Hope mine is as flawless as TMReviews’
@@TMReviews It looks like I received a dud on multiple points of the figure :(
That sucks, email your retailer on that one
Another good video. Appreciated.
Got two of each and enjoy both very much.
Nice

I had to shave mine down at the front, tutorial available on my Facebook page

Btw, are u using a different camera? For some reason, the picture looked a lot clearer on this video.
It looks clearer when I don't wash out the video, my white background sometimes confuses my lense and makes it blurry
Nice video.
I still haven’t put a symbol on mine. I got the original.
Its hard to tarnish that beautiful paint lol

At 310$ cdn is a pass for me nice figure i must admit.
Ya it's pricy

Good looking out
@@asaphmartinez4225 Dammit I just bought him.
Which one has better paint?
Equivalent
@@TMReviews which one more purple?
T version
@@TMReviews thank you
Hmm too bad they didn't fix the mold.
Yup
So ones overpriced and the other is even more overpriced thanks to lame brain scalpers. Ok got it
Lol
