The Botcon twitter account has word that Nova Prime is now available to order. The figure, a remolded and repainted version of the Generations Orion Pax is priced at $59. Here’s the bio:
[INDENT] NOVA PRIME
AUTOBOT® HIGH COMMANDER“‘Till all are redeemed” NOVA PRIME walks a fine line between being the leader his heritage demands and battling inner demons that threaten to tear his synaptic conscious to a psychotic breaking point. While his ‘accolades’ will be remembered in the Halls of Iacon for eons, he is looking for redemption for what he sees as a ‘lapse in vision’ for his fellow Cybertronians. Combining his Quantum Fusion cannon and his “G-Metal” Battle Axe, NOVA PRIME is a formidable warrior on the battlefield and a masterful tactician in the war room. NOVA PRIME has been given a second chance and seeks to usher in a new Golden Age of Cybertron®. Will a new lasting peace on Cybertron finally come to fruition or will the whispers of the past come back to haunt NOVA PRIME, taking away any chance at redemption and plunging Cybertron once again into
Chaos?
Nova Prime is a Deluxe sized figure which features an ALL-NEW head sculpt. Look for Nova Prime later this year in the 2015 TCC Magazine Club comic. The toy is packed in a convention style box with a foam insert for easy removal and display. There is also an additional cut out for you to store the Lio ConvoyTM figure.

hey, I try!

^ You are a treasure.
Primal Sabbath
Oh that sucks!
I should dismantle the one I have and start making KO's in the Nova colors
I'd send you two, the extra so your dog can enjoy it again as well
Anguirus
I'm really angry that my dog ate that damn thing.

For anyone who wanted to see what Nova looks like with the BH Magnus wings. Here you go, I'd appreciate if they were molded in the color of plastic to go better with Nova, but the blue and the grey of BH Magnus fits rather well. Glad I didn't toss this accessory in the trash like I was originally going to
It rests on him solely by friction on the flap behind his head, but it almost does "snap" into place..
And it doesn't make him too terribly back-heavy, although you'll have to bend the knees forward a little and position the ankles accordingly for him to stand. Overall not a deal breaker by any means.

I received my Nova Prime yesterday and this was the first thing I looked for after seeing your posted pics. Mine appears to have been perfectly applied, so it could just be a one-off situation. Unless you're planning on tinkering with the paintjob, perhaps FunPub can send you a replacement head. I can see from what you mention that it's a bit hard to unsee the paint application on yours.
I recall my Rampage arriving with a bent/deformed horn on his head, but i wasn't bothered enough to go to the trouble to try to exchange it.

I want him…but $59 is awfully pricey. Maybe I can get my wife to get it for me for Father's Day.
Primal Sabbath
I hate to be "that" guy, but evidently, some TF's do have reproductive organs…

(it's the second post as of now)
At least a pair of Maximals… Apparently "key tay" and Pikachu are responsible for Stampy. Yay for the Club answering all of our darker curious questions through harmless fiction!
Primal Sabbath
They're supposedly mailing out Lio Convoy in a week or so (maybe even this week) and FSS is about to start shipping too.
I can't remember if I got Transmutate before Rampage last year or not… I think I did though. I ordered her the day she went up in the club store, and want to say Rampage followed a few days afterward.

Is it normal practice for the add on club toy to ship before the "free" club toy? I think I've gotten my "free" toy first in the past. Also, where the heck is my "free" toy?

Got mine yesterday, only about 4 days after purchasing it. I like it. Just another piece to add to my collection. Now…only if there are going to be any 3rd party add ons for it.

Really don't care what people say about this mold choice, head/etc, this deco looks freaking amazing on the mold.

It seems if the Post Office discovers the postage was not paid and it's still in the area it will return it to the sender. If it makes it to the buyer then there WILL be postage due.
If FP is shipping boxes with flat rate envelope then there's something majorly wrong right there. How much did the package weigh? It if weighs less then 1lb then envelope and package prices are the same and there should be no extra charge. If the package is over the pound it could almost be double.
Primal Sabbath
I doubt it. They're always "working on the new registration system" every year it seems. This? This is probably what's funding the IT department on getting the registration live, honestly
I keed, I keed.
I'd be surprised if registration isn't live by the end of the week. I think they do better with the "late" registration anyways, as folks (much like myself) are anxious to the point of bursting into flames just to get in for a Primus package and a custom class.

1) TF's have no sexual organs, so this question is completely irrelevant (or N/A).
2) TFs have beds??? I guess in the comics…
Deceptigtar
so was/is this also holding up registration?
Primal Sabbath
Dude, that's insane… I'd look at my postman like he lost his damn mind. I didn't think they could ship it if it was more? I've had USPS pick stuff up from my house that weighed heavier than I thought, and they returned it right back to me. You sure your mailman didn't con you?
it's not Punch-Counterpunch small, and it doesn't appear as small as Rampage's… But it may be a hair bigger than Orion Pax head. Haven't had that figure in a long time, but it doesn't look out of place or goofy, if that's what you're wondering.

I like that there's bad primes out there but I wish they'd pick different molds for each character.
Richform4
Yay for those that'll get theirs
Autobot City Comics 2008
Is the head just as small as the prime head
