New Source Article UP: TFsource Interviews The Transformers Collector’s Club

SITB: In the 2nd lineup of the Subscription Service there will be highly anticipated figures from the immensely popular More Than Meets The Eye comic; how much of an influence did that comic’s popularity with the Transformers Fandom play into your decision to make characters like Chromedome and Rewind? And of course, can we expect more from MTMTE in future subscription waves?

PS: Actually, we had previous plans for the Wheeljack mold that did not materialize, and we had been working on getting the Chromedome character out there in a new form for some time. All the way back to, I think around 2009? So we realized this was a good opportunity to release him, as we felt the mold was indicative of the character. Rewind was NOT part of our original proposal, and actually, he was the very last one selected. Once we did, and once we started exploring all of the characters and where they would all fit, it made perfect sense to base them on their IDW characterizations. That is when we contacted Nick Roche to design the heads and the rest is TFSS history…

SITB: Including an “incentive” or “bonus” figure to the 2.0 lineup is a great idea. Will this remain a staple for future waves, or can fans also expect a possible return of a Voyager/Ultra sized figure like Ultra Mammoth?

PS: Most likely, yes, as far as the bonus. As far as Voyagers, Mammoth was just difficult to work with logistically (though I am glad we did obviously!) But going forward, the answer is maybe, but it would have to be a much smaller voyager. Right now there are no plans.
