Transformers Collectors Club Subscription Service Scourge Pictures

Posted on 08-27-2012 at 01:03 PM by Sol Fury under Conventions

The Transformers Collectors Club have released a couple of new pictures of their Subscription Service Scourge figure on Twitter. One of the two pictures shows a nice closeup on Scourge brandishing his Sword of Fury in a recreation of one of his iconic poses from Robots in Disguise. The second picture is a comparison with the other two recent uses of the mold, the Botcon 2012 Shattered Glass Optimus Prime and Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus. The picture gives you an idea of how the paint applications have been varied up a bit to give this iteration of the mold a new, fresh feeling.

You've got until 12 September to get your subscription in for this figure and the other five in the Subscription Service set (Animated Jackpot, Prime Slipstream, Classics Breakdown, Classics Circuit and Beast Wars Ultra Mammoth are the other five). Find out more at the Transformers Collectors Club homepage.

Already have 3 "Scourge"s and I hate this mold. Not interested in this figure at all.

I'm REALLY excited about Slipstream though

I might get this one day when I have the cash. Why are Optimus and ultra Magnus' wheels unpainted?

probably test shots that were lying around.

Kaijumaster

Glorious, but I want some Ultra Mammoth pictures!

Optimus Prime

If I don't get the whole package, this is definitely the one single toy from it I'll get. Now we just need a Toxitron!

swbruni

I just dropped the $ for the set , hard to do but im sure it will be worth it .

Looks great! I hope they can manage the blue highlights on his face.

I think that is a safe bet.

I second that, definitely need a generations Toxitron.

gothsaurus

love this figure, but hope they can match the metallic teal we've seen in the past a little better on the actual figure. Crossing my fingers. Otherwise, a fantastic figure. Will look great with the modern Skybyte and Sideburn figures.

I see this said and I laugh. Not because it's wrong to want a Toxitron, but because A) We got an Animated Toxitron two years ago, and hey if you want a Generations one.... that's cool. but B) It makes it a humorous statement when you see so many people going "Why so many Breakdowns?" " Why so many uses of Mold X" compared to peoples "More version of Character Y" !!!

1-It's a Prime mold and they are going to milk it regardless, 2- Not everyone collects Animated.

Not transformers prime characters mold.

Cadbane

Better Hurry up now, my subscription is all because of Scourge.

Kung Fu Man

If we got Toxitron I'd much rather it be the original intended mold. This one has a beautiful truck mode, but honestly looks like complete garbage as a bot and is too flipping small. C'mon, they pulled this off with the Nano-BAT in the G.I. Joe Club, it should be doable here.

RedAlert Rescue

Toxi-tron is obvious as not only is he beggin' for a Maketoys derived Trailer he's also like Scourge based on the same original toy.

I do agree it is one of the worst Optimus Moulds though - it's not an especially fun toy. I don't know if I should consider it a bad egg in an OK toyline or the 1st of the whole clutch of under designed or poorly designed toys that followed into 2012's releases.

He was one of the first to give that feeling of being cheap and to small - and it's ironic that it's only saving grace is in a third party accessory.

I'm still pissed this guy is exclusive. I'm not gonna be buying him because of that. I actually really like this mold, but screw paying exclusive pricing.

netkid

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...

Shockwave9227

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.

Grimlock_13

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

CodeXCDM

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.

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.

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.

G1Jetfire

Hey Maketoys. A chrome tanker trailer would look great with this!

[Wing_Saber-X]

Dayum, test shot or not that looks mighty tasty.

Omegax80

Wondering why the only option at checkout is USPS right now, very expensive. overpriced.

You have it backwards. FunPub releases it as an exclusive because Hasbro has already decided NOT to release is in mass retail. Not the other way around. Hasbro can always change their mind later, like with the seekers. Hasbro has veto over what FP does, not the other way around.

JPOC

what kills me is why the rub sticker if you bothered to paint the faction sigil on both truck doors?

and is it an upside down faction sigil like what is on the door...or did they go cheap and just use the standard autobot or decepticon sigil?

MagnusPrimal

I wanted this until I opened the Optimus version of the mold.
I'm not impressed. I'm going to cancel my BBTS preorder for Scouge. I meant to do it last night, but I never got around to it.
As a consolation prize, I put a CR Black Convoy into my PoL (to go with my RiD Scourge), and I am still quite looking forward to Ultra Mammoth!

What other payment methods does the club offer? I don't want to use my credit card again with them.

Pete, you do realize you'll have to take this the next step further and give us the RID Combaticons...

theestampede

you know, if he had some extra pack ins (ie the alternate head sculpt, maybe some extra weapons or other accessories) I think I'd probably be able to justify the price.

Id love to see the alternate headsculpt for this mold in solid colors and including it would allow for multiple display options. After all they included the extra weapons with shattered glass drift.
