Okay I see! I had checked the FAQ but figured I would double check. I did preorder and pay it off Friday late morning so my order just probably wasn't paid off in time. Thanks for the response!  

Wah! There's always Monday.   can't wait

 

I'm in the same boat. Paid off my preorder, just waiting for it to process and ship

 

Mine came in from TFs Express, the optional head was there in the bag with the instructions.
He did manage to break through the black package tray inside the box.
Looked him over and he seems fine.
Swapped heads already.

 

TFS has some sgc exclusives in stock again

 

Got my IF Absolute Zero in the mail today from TCP (along with MFT Tracks!). It did have the bonus head, which was in the baggie with the instructions and card:


Took a pic of him with the old head before I changed it out (forever!):


But yeah, I like the faceplate head better:

But yeah, really cool (heh) coloring on this guy!

Anyways, forgot what a PitA this dude is to transform:

Again, the mix of blues definitely pops more than the original's reds.

 

Zero got shipped out today from TCP! I'm so excited!

Dragon buddies woot woot!
Lol

 

Unfortunately, I gotta run some errands soon or I’d have more than just one pic to share, and I’d’ve swapped the heads, but...

Damn, this is one pretty, pretty boy!



Not sure I’m satisfied with the Vivid Cool filter that I gave a shot in the iOS camera app, though.

More importantly, by any chance did anyone else’s AZ smell like Asian Barbecue when they opened the box and the plastic shell? Because, I got a strong whiff of that when I opened it. It’s possible that was just a neighbor making lunch, but it was so brief that I don’t think that’s the case. I also now have an unwavering desire to get Chinese food tonight.  

 

Woo! Got mine today too. The extra head is so cool, definitely worth it. I normally never buy repaints, but I make exceptions every now and again.

 

Mine won't be here until tomorrow... 

Any ideas what can be used as a ice blast effect?

 

A blue raspberry jolly rancher!

Seriously now, I think there are some blue Tamashii effects pieces, but they’d probably be way too big, and they’re also mostly sold out, or selling for four times their original MSRP on Amazon, so that’s not good.

 

If the blue flame effect piece that came with Hotrod plugs in, that would look cool, I think. (I haven't checked to see if it fits)

 

The blast effect parts that come with wfc Rung look pretty icy

 

Rung's blast effect piece looks great with Zero...

 

I painted his small face and eyes for more toon accuracy
the picture isn't great because of the size and old camera

 

Got my response back from BBTS, theirs is indeed the convention version so it does have the alternate head.  

 

Looks really good

 

If anyone's looking for the special edition Zero, I have one available for sale in the States : Iron Factory IF EX-42Z Absolute Zero Limited Edition New

Please PM.

 

finally got mine. i'm loving the icy colours of the wings… fantastic!!!  

overall though, because his body colour palette is so heavily dark blue, it's hard to see much detail and i think the original red has a better presence to it. the alt head is a definite must for this figure.

nobody has cared to post about their numbered cards. has anyone opened theirs and see what number you got?  

 

My card is sealed forever, until I sell him. And I'm very bad at selling  

 

Not gunna lie, he’s posed like he’s taking a big ol poo!

And, I nearly opened my card this weekend, but then didn’t.

I did swap out the head and finally transformed it for the first time, and it was a beast to accomplish. Specifically, getting the side body pieces with the arms to snap onto the central chest piece took so very, very long. But, once it was finally done, it is pretty rad!
