The Botcon 2012 Souvenir Exclusives are...

Curious to see Octopunch and Spinister - am tempted by them...

Are those typos, or are they being called Spinster and Kickoff?

Is Kickout the rumored Jazz mold?

All SG... Fffff...

Kickoff is accurate. Corrected the first post. It is Spinister not Spinster.

Optimus Prime is my only want from this year's set.

Any clue if the junkions will all have the same head, or if they will be mixed (using junkheap and scrapheap)?

I still think that Junkions in Sharkticon color scheme would've been best (since they were both introduced in the movie and were really analogous), but given we got Sharkticons two years back, Insecticon colors make more sense.

****sg junkions...i must have.....anyone with good feedback that has them pm me...i can paypal.... =)

If Kickout and Spinister were packaged together, I could have seen that set selling out quick. Smart play by them to package the lesser desired figures with each one of them to encourage sales.

I just realized, that since Spinster is Shattered Glass, he may not be in G1 colors. Or he might, if he's like Seaspray... Can't wait til someone posts some pics.

I want only want Kick-Off and maybe the Junkions.

I think Spinister and Kick-off are Classics not SG. Only their package partners are.


-ZacWilliam, that way you get sort of a VS. battle pack with both sides

am i the only person only interested in kickoff and spinister of all those?

Nope, those two and Octopunch are what I want.

I love the original Action Masters as a whole, but sadly Kick-Off was pretty much the only one of them I was never very thrilled by. He kinda bored me as a kid for no reason I can say.

So for me it's pretty much just Spinister. Him I'd love.


-ZacWilliam, Octopunch I'm 50/50 on...

I wonder how much the Junkions would cost. I just might be willing to pay someone to buy them for me at the convention.

I'll have to see pics first, but I don't think I'm interested in anything other than the Junkieons

EDIT: I'm probably going to end up caving on these, so if anybody at the con is willing to middleman for me...PLEASE shoot me a PM.

yeah, I want them all. I'm gonna be watching ebay like a hawk, and I'm hoping the 3 SG Junkions use the three head molds already in existance.

Fortunately, there's a good chance that they made tons of these, and the club store will still have some sets available after the con.

Even if they don't... I plan on getting Spinister, Kick-Off, and maybe Octopunch (in the hopes that Venksta or someone makes a new head for him)

Why such the hard on for SG stuff this year FunPub?


Sheesh.

Darn it! Now I want overlord the junkions and prime! my poor wallet!

I take it this is a Shattered Glass-themed Botcon?

YES SPINISTER. I'll be getting that set. Any word on new heads, prices, etc?

I want "Kickout" too, we'll see if I can afford it.

I'm getting them all but i think the only item i'm thinking i will keep of the attendees is sg optimus.

it amazes me I'm not seeing pics posted yet of the figures...there's plenty of "IN BAG" shots on Ebay , but I'm not seeing anything else.

Don't see the point in shattered glass at all, but I really like the mold so I want the shattered glass g2 prime. Admittedly I'm too cheap to drop the cash on an exclusive like this one so its not happening. oh well

Spinister.
I am tempted.

SG meets Classics-verse, with very little Classics-verse.

Metalhawk is all I wanted from the very beginning. And none of the other exclusives has changed that. With us getting Metalhaw and Overlord homages, I was hoping for some other Japanese G1 Classics-verse characters to show up as the at show exclusives. Oh well.

Wow! Something SG that's actually cool.

Yup. Lots of SG figures this year...

Fortunately, some can be repurposed. (Road Rage, Classics Octopunch, Armada Sideswipe) Oh, reprolabels....

Junkions... in Insecticons colors... Junkions...
Ok. It's sold to me. See you on ebay

so spinister will be g1 colors? and what happened to sg swindle? I thought he was confirmed? I am only asking because if he was made i was hoping he would have been in ironfist colors.

I won't be at botcon till Saturday, so is there anybody interested in parting out the octopunch/spinister set? I really want Spinister. Message me if someone wants to work out a deal and i'll pay them at the con

It's not exactly from Insecticons but looks very nice.

Can we get a solid confirmation of this (if you have the comic and these are the characters within, you'd qualify. I just don't know)? The phrasing of the original post (which I assume took straight out of the back of the comic) really sounded like both toys in each set would be SG.

I'd be happy to be proven wrong (or to chalk it up to FP's lack of understanding of how conjunctions work), but I'd like clarity.

Cant wait for word on the price of these.

Way to go Big Filipino, a news credit. Now let's see those Junkions and see if they're worth the trouble!

Already going for $200+ on eBay. For those who are buying I certainly hope so!

Jesus, I just hope tomorrow I get my set to keep, perhaps the kiddo a set if he still wants/can be bumped to Primus.

Disappointed all my speculating about Scoop since he was shown so freaking much in other images that he isn't around.

Sadly SG Junkions are out of my price range...never a very good bidder on Ebay...

Actually, that's a fair point. In the past, the comic has had prices, too (admittedly, one year the prices in the comic were wrong). We should have this information already.

Thread/ Won. and QFT.

Don't think you can blame FP as SG has been one of their best selling sets, and one of the sets with the highest after market values.
