    Indeed. If I can find for one cheap maybe I'll have him aimed at a copy of Armada Nemesis Prime.

    Their site is down for the moment but with some quick research I definitely think that could work so long as I used some of the extension parts.

    Does Fantoys do pre-release reviews?

    Not since Lupus. But I take it you meant Fans Hobby, and on that note I don't remember. I seem to recall review samples going around for the Monsterbots and Arch Enemy, but I don't seem to recall samples going around for Double Evil.

    I'm really hoping they do pre-release reviews for this guy. I'd like to see him in action, or at least see some better pictures before I put in my pre-order

    I already preordered. Excluding repaints I own every mold Fans Hobby has made. Not only have they yet to disappoint, they've gotten better with each release.

    I was reading up on the wiki and watching a few clips and I realized (keep in my mind I haven't seen past the first bit of Armada) that, in his Final Battle colors Prime never used his super mode, not even with Jetfire. Has me thinking that, if they're going to release the cab alone, that should be the color scheme the single cab release uses. Maybe paired with the recolored Jetfire? What do you guys think?

    He tends to get quite a lot of the heavy hitter products quite early but I kinda hope that if he does get one for Naval Commander then it’s as close to the final product as possible because he tends to nitpick on everything and I fear it might hurt sales a bit.

    Double Evil. I wasn't even going to get him at first, as I'm not a huge Masterforce fan and I'm not big on Overlord. But around the time he came out there wasn't anything else competing for my money so I bought him anyway. I'm glad I did because he blew me away. He's such a fun figure to mess with, and he's got so much presence on a shelf. I had him standing in front of Constructor and Zeta's Buttocks for awhile, and despite getting smaller than them he had a way of drawing your attention and forcing the larger guys into the background.

    Thanks for the response. At this point I'm definitely going to place my pre-order relatively soon.

    Me too. Don't want to miss out on an incredible figure that I have no connection to but he is very aesthetically pleasing to me.

    And now I've preordered him from TFSource (Along with Scorponok). December cannot come fast enough!(for too many reasons). I don't think I'm going to get their Megatron, when that eventually comes out, but if they do a Galvatron version of it I will probably get that.

    I really hope somewhere domestic puts this up so I don't have to spend $400 on the thing.

    TFSource has it for 218 or so, unless US ain't domestic for you
