Just pre-ordered this bad boy - always wanted to get into the ThreeA/ThreeZero stuff (I buy other Hot Toys/3A pieces too, great stuff) but the premium scale was too big to buy en masse.
Didn't realize the DLX scale was shorter, which is perfect. They've only done the Bumblebee stuff in this scale so far, right?

• Soundwave
• Optimus Prime
• Nemesis Prime (don't see this one on Sideshow though...)
• Bumblebee
• Blitzwing
• Jetwing Prime (rumored)

Making sure I have the full list, haha.

 

Nemesis Prime is a limited release. I believe ThreeZero is opening orders for an additional batch on their site on the 24th with less than 200 quantity (along with the previous releases). But yeah so far they've only done Bumblebee characters in this scale.

 

Yep! That’s all of them. Nemesis won’t be in Sideshow, he’s a Hasbro Pulse/Threezero store exclusive-thing (I say thing, because Japanese/Chinese retailers have multiple copies on eBay IN STOCK already). Limited to 1,000.

 

Thanks! Now to catch up over time (should probably do release order...) and try to be up to date before the NEXT one in this scale releases (maybe the upcoming Siege figures will be DLX scale).
Good to know on Nemesis - will need to get that order in somewhere. Looks like Pulse is sold out.

 

Oh really? Didn’t know about those.

 

Apologies to sidetrack a bit from topic, I was reading through when I saw some discussions on Arcee.
I'm patiently waiting for any possibility of a DLX Arcee. If 3A drags too long I might cave in to Leafage Iron Lady as shelf filler...

 

Ngl if it wasn't for the colors I wouldn't know it was Arcee

 

surprised ravage's transformation is actually fairly involved.

i love that soundwave's so thick that you have to move his outer thigh plates for some poses. want some fuckin fries with that milkshake?

 

I love Ravage’s transformation! Also, the box is sweet (I always keep one mint, so that’s important here, to me anyways).

 

From the size of his head in comparison to his body, it seems like Soundwave should be a smaller robot, possibly Bumblebee sized.

 

Looks like Soundwave's internal frame is heavily based on their Optimus Prime. Not that that is a bad thing. Just point it out.

Wish Ravage was more poseable and less rigid. Especially the spine and tail. It is what it is.

Cant wait for Soundwave and Nemisis. Both should show up around the same time at the end of September  

 

It is the Optimus Prime frame, I watched the video and compared to my Optimus and the detailing under the armour is identical.

 

i love this thing so much , cannot wait to get him , but I do think his head is too big? make him very disproportionate to his figure mates , even if he is in scale

 

Man that blue is so incredibly strong. I love it. He’s definitely got some funny proportions but nothing that looks instantly terrible.

 

Well that should be movie accurate then because I remember reading that even in the movie, they used Prime's frame as a base to save time creating movie Soundwave!

 

Same with Shockwave, whom I hope also gets made by ThreeZero.

 

Getting a Shockwave would be nice, never was big into the MP or DotM look, but this would be a hefty boy to go with the MP/MPMs if I didn't have the DLX stuff already.

 

i hope they do shatter or dropkick after soundwave, but shockwave is okay too.
