TFNation have posted their latest anouncement which states that TFC Toys will be showcasing new and existing product at the 2016 show which takes place in Birmingham, England.  TFC Toys are behind the incredible Hades combiner, based on the Transformers Victory Leo Kaiser / Brestforce figures.  We own all four which have been released so far, and they are in must have.  Their latest figure, Poseidon, also looks spot on as a giant Seacon combiner.

Operation: Third Party Appearance – TFC Toys

As you would have noticed, our regulary posting on the Moon hasn't been that regular in a long-time, and our focus on TheVisionaries.net has also slowed in recent months.  The basic reason is work and life　getting in the way.  We recently bought a second light tent and are hoping to get back to taking more (regular or semi-regular) pictures soon (once work  goes back to just 5 days a week).

Anyway the reason for that introduction is that we missed quiet a bit of 3rd Party news this week ... so here's a roundup.

3rd Party Masterpiece Hound

Like buses you wait for one, and two come along at once.  Both MakeToys and TFCToys have shown off grey prorotypes of their Not-Masterpiece Hound  figure, so you can substitute their Hound in place of the one Takara-Tomy haven't made ... yet

1. MakeToys
   Name; Gun Dog
   Height: 16.5 CM / 6 1/2 inches
   Notes: Has two robot modes (pretty much the shoulder postions) for "Classic G1 Look" and "Modern Classic Look"
   
   
2. TFC Toys
   Name: Detective
   Height: Unknown
   Notes: Less G1 toy accurate

3rd Party Masterpiece Chromdome

MakeToys' entrerance into the Masterpiece Class of Transformers figures doesn't stop with Gun Dog (Hound) as they have also announced a nive looking Masterpiece Chromedome.  The character, made popular by Nick Roche and James Roberts in the Transformers More Than Meets The Eye comic certainly looks nice.

1. Maketoys
2. Name: Cupola
   Height: 22 CM / 9 inches
   Notes: Comes with his Headmaster figure (Stylor in the West)
