    Five years and this is the remold we've been waiting for? The head is atrocious. It's like a little monster thing.

    The Allspark has a small gallery up.

    Now that I can see the head a little more clearly, I like the sculpt, but the way it's done in bright red and mostly unpainted plastic really hurts it.

    All I can say is that I am happy and hopeful that I get it before Tuesday. Otherwise I gotta wait until after Botcon.

    I think it's a neat headsculpt but it falls into the bright red plastic + dark paint apps trap that the very first limb fell into, way back when. >.< Mouth should have been a lighter grey.

    Wow.. he looks kinda neat. I guess I should dig out the other four and dust them off...

    I just want the STORY behind them. Supposedly they're all originally from the AEC Universe (and the name even makes sense what with the other combiner guys).

    Hopefully at Botcon we hear something about next year's figure... It's going to make or break a lot of people renewing, myself included. If they want a decent chance at pulling in a lot of fans, (and pissing off others), they should do something like Sunstorm. I guarantee the internet would explode. lol

    The Botcon discount will still be the biggest pull for me as far as club membership. You can get the toys for $20.

    True, but I can't go to Botcon EVERY year... Only if it's within driving distance like 07 and 08...

    I'm really glad I never bothered with this combiner. I wonder what the club will do for next year?

    "Made entirely of hygienic silicone, the Nexus Maximus is easily cleaned with antibacterial soap and water between uses."
