I already have the Prime and megs and mirage and Lock. Not a huge fan of repaints but i love the boxes. My only Question is how much extra will we be paying for a box. Deluxes at Voyager prices?

I don't think the customs figures really count (at least in my opinion). They're kitbashes to demonstrate how to make a figure. I'd be more than happy to see those get made into actual figures, which apparently we're getting to see at last. :)


Agreed. I don't think the customs are a part of the "BotCon" brand. Aren't they Stesselman's pet project essentially?

Damn,

Couldn't find that awesome Admiral Kirk screaming repaints picture. So, this is the next best thing. Image REPAINTS!

I thought maybe if I get that out early, things will stay calm :grin:

The Prime doesn't look that different, but I definitely like Megatron. Very cool. I'm quite curious about these figures now.

Prime and Megs: "New packaging, same product. Losers." It would have been so much better to re-release the Classics Voyager Megs and Prime in that packaging, those deluxe molds FAIL.

Overkill and Dragstrip: Gotta see them to judge them, but those boxes alone are enough to buy each of the two.

Indeed!


Megs looks very nice in those colors, even though I already have all the molds, for this series. I will undoubtedly pick up Prime and Megs. Even though I despise Megs's Arm gimmick, the colors and the box alone make up for it.

Prime will forever stay in Robot mode, inside his box.

I might get Overkill. Dragstrip, probably not.

But the boxes are 100% Collector aimed.

If only Hasbro had picked better molds for the Special Editions.

Still its a nice thought on their part.

Megs, Prime and Overkill are up on HTS

http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/ProductsByCategory.htm?CD=121&BR=496&SBR=695

Originally created for the Asia market, they've become HTS exclusives - making it unlikely that I'll be getting any of them as they probably wont make it to our HTS.

If they fixed Megatron's foot flaw, then he's a yes.

Overkill is the one I'm most interested in.

Damb, right! The Henkei Wildrider is ridiculously expensive and not all that inspired. I hope if Hasbro does a version they make him look like Wildrider and not a straight Rodimus repaint. And no online stores carry him. Just eBay. :-x I will definitely be picking all of these up except Optimus, he's just not that different.

Now if they'd release the BotCon 06 souvenirs at retail, I'd be a very happy man. If they're releasing a BotCon figure that used to be limited to about 30, why not?

They're listed on the Transformers wiki, so it's not really a kitbash ether.

looks like my question has been answerd looks to me these wont be selling in stores nothing against grimlock i dont like the pain theme on him call me old fashiond but when it comes to to transformer figures i like the oringal colors more than the repaints.

unless if the repaint version is much better than the original like cybertron evac, or breakaway as hotshot repaint those i liked.
