    It looks like a hand-painted prototype to me, so I'm assuming it's not.

    ok so i'm confused. DOTM Ultimate Prime is an SDCC exclusive. So what about TF Prime Prime in matrix packaging?

    DOTM Ultimate Prime is a standard retail release. SDCC exclusive Ultimate Prime is a variant figure in new packaging exclusive to SDCC. TF: Prime Optimus in Matrix packaging is an SDCC exclusive also.

    I wasn't aware there was a desire amongst the fandom to wear MISB toys around their necks, but what do I know?

    Peeps were wearing Erectors around their necks at Auto Assembly last year, make of that what you will.

    I stand corrected. I've just invented the next runaway hit 3rd party companion piece: a necklace with an attachment for the peg hole/hooks on deluxe cardbacks.

    Is there anyone here attending SDCC who would be interested in picking up an Ultimate Prime for me? Please PM if you're open to doing so.

    Has everyone received their club magazine already? I still haven't received mine and am worried that it might have been lost in the mail.

    I don't think that packaging quirk was made with the core Transformer fan base in mind. It's Comicon, so kids and adult attendees who get in line for at the Hasbro booth and impulse spend. Most people are still going to open theirs anyways, so I don't see why it's a big deal. I find it a charming addition for what might otherwise be an unremarkable exclusive.

    I would be worried that if I went running Erector would end up in my mouth.

    I opened up my SDCC Ultimate... the coolest thing about it, IMO, is that one of the license plate sticker options is "SDCC2011"... which I promptly put on the trailer!
