Sorta - not as an exclusive, but Elita-1 was a 2007-movie toy; and rumor has it she's part of the "arcee" bikes in the new movie. I'm looking forward to this piece, if accurate. Though I think I'll only be keeping her & hunting for a Kup, possibly Scourge. The rest have NO interest for me.
I am going just for this figure! At last Elita-1 joins the classics line. I wish she had an appropriate head though. I guess I will have to make one.
Closer to 3.5x retail last year. FP said it was because of higher gas, transportation cost. and manufacturing costs. If if's higher then 3.5x this year with gas prices lower I'm gonna be pissed. I'm guessing 2009 retail prices at 3x. Megatron ($20) + Hotrod ($10) + minicon ($2.7) = $32.7 x 3.5 = $114 (actual 116) Blurr ($10) + Sideswipe ($10) + minicon ($2.7) = $22.7 x 3.5 = $79 (acutal = 78) Cheap = 2008 Retail Price ($20 voyager, $10 deluxe) at 3x Mid = 2009 Retail Prices ($22 voyager, $13 deluxe) at 3x Expensive = 2009 Retail Price ($22 voyager, $13 deluxe) at 3.5x Razorclaw/Elita-One = 90/105/123 Banzai-tron/Skyquake = 90/105/123 Sweeps x 2 = 60/78/91 Sweeps x 3 = 90/105/123
Excellent to see her confirmed. I've already got the hookup on her. (thanks vs!) now I just need someone to hook me up with Banzai-tron......
sadly I think its a scratch build some one took a microman head(or some other Japanese figure) and then built the rest up around it. BUT I did see a resin head once I was trying to find a pic of it for this thread but alas I could not find it. maybe some one is the Radicons area could fab one up
Holy hell, I'm craving bubble gum for some reason. I wish that was a paler pink, at least the base color. Yeesh. You got it man, Elita, Razorclaw and Leozak, right? I won't part with Leozak if he's the freebie, he's my favorite one. I like him so much I bought a Botcon Deszaras so I can have the matching pair!
i think the vast majority off botcon repaints suck... even the toy selections, with the exceptions of the classics line i guess. i mean she looks like galvatron's sister... if i put on a wig and my sister's dress, i wouldn't be called an exclusive repaint.... tsk tsk botcon exclusives mostly resemble KOs outa china. that's my opinion at least... - KO
Yeah this really isn't a suprise, we've heard unofficially about this one for a while. I do not like this mold, shellformers are so uncreative IMO. I'll buy it, but I'm happy to resell it to any fans who're interested in it.
There's three attendee sets this year. At first I was skeptical of the info given out by people "in the know" but with every release this info has been further confirmed: Attendee 1: Banzaitron and Skyquake Attendee 2: 3 Sweeps Free "thanks for coming" exclusive": Leozack Attendee "Botcons Past" pack: Razorclaw and Elita-One Anyways, PINK. That's all I got.
What would be NICE is that the Sweeps are the SECOND add-on, and Razorclaw and Elita One are the CLUB toys this year...
