This looks like an area that didn't get filled in during the molding process:



I really hope the Sub Scourges don't have this molding issue. Otherwise, I'm not plopping down the cash.

This is a sample. Final version will look more like the mock ups...

It looks good but I wouldn't buy this for 100 dollars or even order all of next year's exclusives. The mold was a bit mediocre at most.

The mold is pretty cruddy but I'm a sheep for those colors.

As neat as it looks... Can't really justify 100 bucks for this bugger ATM... nor shell 300+ for the whole subscription then take the time to resell the other figures. =(

Course, then there's also the matter of waiting for Maketoys to make a Black Tanker... (Though seeing as the SG Prime/UM Tanker KOs came out before Maketoys even made any confirmation regarding new Tanker redecos...)

Agreed. I saw the Optimus version of this in stores plenty of times, but held off because I wanted Scourge and was sure - absolutely sure, that there would be a black repaint put out. Then FunPub made it their exclusive and eliminated any chance of that, meaning I put off buying it for nothing.

I buy lots of HasTak product, but I cannot afford to pay these prices for a single deluxe. Moreover, I disagree with and am thoroughly disappointed by the way FunPub has been conducting itself recently, so I don't want to give them my business anyway.

If FunPub hadn't nabbed this as an exclusive to get people to buy subscriptions, we'd probably be seeing it hitting mass retail in some future line. But I guess that would be cheapening the hobby.

More to the point, how many US "Nemesis Primes" have NOT been some kind of exclusive?

Bot Shots
Armada
RID

I think that's it.. All of the others have been exclusives... So I'm not sure why it's a surprise that it's an exclusive this time.

I hope so too for other people. I already got a bitter experience with SG UMagnus which had broken pelvis joint as soon I split the leg out from the truck. And this was straight from a taped bag/ new condition. With that experience, I have to say easily pass for Scourge.
Dear god Hasbro/TTomy: Please make Prime Cyberverse UM w/ his space ship as action figure like WJ/ Star Hammer and I'll promise never to bash you!

That's kind of a weird argument. Also, Spychanger Scourge. Besides, I'd have been fine if it had been exclusive to any other source. I just don't want to give that much money to a group that treats customers with hostility and has constant issues with information security.

^This. But for me Slipstream is the one I'd pay the most for.
