Part of the expense of Botcon sets is in the Box - I did read before these will ship in plain white boxes like Dion did. I don't know if they will bother to print a front and back sticker for the boxes to pep them up and then double box them or if the will arrive in bags from china (like the loose botcon figures do) and then just get thrown straight into a shipping cardboard box.

If that is the case i'd worry for the survival of Ultra Mammoth unless he's shipped in beast mode (which I would guess he would be).


I strongly suggest if you want them you go make some friends with the Americans who have expressed an interest but don't want them all and they you can get around some of those problems.

Imagine someone in the UK decides to buy lots of them and Fubpub didn't consolidate the boxes but just shipped out dozens off to the same address in multiple boxes the resulting customs charges would be enough to feed Luxemburg for a month.

Really tempted by Rage but Hercules only just fits in my display cabinet as it is, how much bigger does it make him?

Defo makes it a bit taller and a good bit wider

I've moved mine out of my shelving as he doesnt fit but i'm loving it, again total personal taste add on but i really really like it and am very happy to have it. And love the poster, gonna frame it and put it up on wall

The rage set is full of win. My G1ified Herc is pretty much done now....just gotta paint both black shovels green now to complete.

With leg extenders he just fits in a detolf....that'll give you an idea of size.
